Pedro Vilarva, who was 18 when he met the then-26-year-old future congressman in 2014, also confirmed to the outlet that Santos invited friends to celebrate their engagement in November of that year — even though he never accepted his proposal.

“Thanks for sharing this very important day in our lives,” Santos wrote on Facebook of the planned Nov. 23 celebration at La Bonne Soupe in Midtown Manhattan.

However, the party “never happened” because Vilarva repeatedly rejected Santos’ proposals, he told the outlet.

He asked me 3x but I didn’t accept it,” Santos’ former lover told the Beast via text message. “There was never a party [or] anything in regards to it,” he said.

Confusingly, the public invite came just two years into Santos’ marriage to Uadla Vieira Santos, a Brazilian woman whom his housemates rarely saw and only knew as “a friend,” according to the Daily Beast.

Former roommate Morey-Parker told the Daily Beast that Santos once “tried to get me to marry some Brazilian woman so she could get citizenship” — saying he could make money from the deal. The report did not elaborate on when that suggestion was made.

    :dead-dove-1: Could this be a grift with a hint of redemption? Green carding someone is based as hell... :dead-dove-2:

    he could make money from the deal.

    Oh, it's exploitation and probably trafficking. :dead-dove-3:

    Christ, this dude is a cartoon character, and you know there are many other Repub congressmen with similar skeletons in their closet

      I mean, I genuinely despise GOP politicians and they surely have plenty of skeletons... but Santos here has like a clown car of skeltons. He is on another level.

      Democrats can't even hang on to an open tube of super glue, but IIRC Long Island is very chud because it's where all the cops live.

    Allowing the left to gain a foothold in NY, or letting this cartoon grifter into congress? Blue MAGA barely blinked when deciding.

    sometimes i wonder where these salacious stories come from about this guy.... like are there people who don't want him in office that are powerful and influential enough to get national coverage going for a story like him dressing as a drag queen, or like this story?

    what i'm saying is, is this the :cia: trying to get rid of a complete con artist with no loyalty to America from congress? maybe so he doesn't spill the beans on US secrets when he can personally benefit from it in the short term - - and it's very obvious that he doesn't think about the long term lmao....

    like of course this guy is a con artist, but so are at least half of all elected politicians... is someone scared of this guy being more of a loose cannon that anyone else in congress? this is serious conspiracy brain i have going on..... and occam's razor says it;s just the media finding out shit about him and the stories keep snowballing etc etc... but what if it's snowballing because someone powerful wants it too (like the CIA...)?

        probably just because of how funny the whole thing is. and it's obviously pretty embarassing for many powerful people that he scammed his way into congress so brazenly.

        but the bar he lowered will be lowered further by the next guy, and then he will just be considered a normal congressman hahaha :joker-amerikkklap:

            We got a dry run of what that looks like with the one Republican who talked about the cocaine orgies and then got drop kicked into oblivion. I don't think they let you in on the big secrets until they know you can keep the little ones.

      Nah

      1. A notable lie surfaces -- inevitable with the number of lies and his election to a national office
      2. People dig more and find more
