It is to their credit that they are taking this position.

Trump kind of changed things when it comes to handling scandals. His strategy of just weathering the storm and counter attacking worked. Santos isn't really counter attacking but what he is doing is getting name recognition. That value far outweighs the negatives he is facing.

Tbh this is always a good strategy it just takes a solid set of balls to pull it off and weather the storm.

Embattled Rep. George Santos persuaded at least one person to make a six-figure investment in a Florida-based company that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission later said was a Ponzi scheme, according to people familiar with the matter and documents viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Mr. Santos was hired in 2020 to raise capital for the company, Harbor City Capital, and landed at least one significant investment from a wealthy investor, the people said. When the investment failed to deliver on the promised returns, according to one of the people, Mr. Santos sought to reassure the investor by saying he had personally raised nearly $100 million and had invested his own family’s money in Harbor City.

People who raise money from investors and are paid in the form of commissions generally have to be brokers and be registered to work with a licensed brokerage firm. The SEC routinely brings civil-enforcement actions against people who conduct the work of brokers but aren’t licensed to do so; it has filed no such action against Mr. Santos. A search of a database maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or Finra, doesn’t show Mr. Santos registered as a broker. The terms under which Mr. Santos was paid for his work at Harbor City couldn’t be determined

This is one of the scummiest things I've read yet. Stealing money meant for a dying pet's operation.
But when you think of it, so many things people calling themselves Republicans do is scummy and revolting.
Morey-Parker said he knew Santos by two names: Anthony Devolder and Anthony Zabrovsky and he had “never known him as George Santos.” According to Morey-Parker, Santos said he used the name Zabrovsky for his pet charity because he believed “the Jews will give more if you’re a Jew.”
