He was an obscure individual when New Yorkers elected him.

No he wasn't. He was a republican running for a 2nd time to flip a D seat in New Effing York when he finally won.

Give it up. There's no equivalence.

A New Yorker who campaigned in New York TWICE to flip a D seat is vastly more well-known than a CO state guy who was only appointed to a vacated CO state seat.


Absent that bit of video that the right-wing made viral, he's still completely unknown and not worth knowing since he's so far out of the left mainstream anyway. He's a nobody with no juice.

Santos, otoh, has a vote in the US COngress.

Why is Santos front page today and the Colo Rep not? Because the COLO guy (whose name I already forgot) is nobody of import that nobody knows and nobody except rw-extremists shiv a git about.
