On Saturday, the pair engaged in an intense Twitter exchange after the Democratic lawmaker wrote, "George Santos is going to launch his re-election campaign on Monday. He is a liar, a fraud, and a failure. New York's 3rd Congressional district deserves an honest Congressman willing to put our district first. Resign now @Santos4Congress, and end this national embarrassment."
Lafazan emphasized, "Unlike @Santos4Congress, I didn't have to lie to get elected. My credentials are clean, I'm actually Jewish, & unlike yours, my diploma from Harvard is real," adding, "Donate to my campaign to get this serial liar George Santos out of the house."
The lying lawmaker then mocked his potential future opponent, sharing a picture representative of the physical impact of Lafazan's corrective jaw surgery, writing, "Real like your chin?"
The Democratic state representative immediately clapped bac, saying, "Corrective jaw surgery helped me breathe normally & saved my life. My insurance covered it, & it's why I'm fighting so hard for universal health care You are beneath the office you hold. And I can't wait to replace you in Congress, in 2024 or sooner. Send postcards from jail."
After Lafazan's response, Santos turned his replies off.
Social media users sided with Lafazan, criticizing Santos for his callous comment and cowardice.

(16,955 posts)that Santos (or whoever he is?) is still holding a seat in a government office.
I mean, seriously, W-T-F!?!?!?!
Isn't there ANYTHING that can make a person NOT BE WORTHY of serving as a governmental official (well, other than their past PRESIDENT - but that's another issue )?
SHAME on the Repukes for letting 'Santos' continue to be in the seat - and as a subset, shame on the Repukes for allowing Kevin to allow 'Santos' (sic?) to remain there - and finally, HOW CAN AMERICA ALLOW THIS FRAUD TO STILL BE THERE?
