New York Republican Representative George Santos found himself confronted with yet another setback on Wednesday as his communications director tendered her resignation.
Naysa Woomer, in an email reported by Scripps News, officially stepped down from her position and, in a barb directed at Santos, noted that her professional advice had gone unheeded.
\u201cSCOOP:\n\nNaysa Woomer, communications director to embattled Rep. George Santos (R-NY), has resigned earlier this evening.\n\nWOOMER TO SANTOS:\n\n"Unfortunately, you never took one point of professional advice given."\n\nvia @scrippsnews \n\nhttps://t.co/LIbQi9fH6Q\u201d— Kevin Cirilli (@Kevin Cirilli) 1684359870
She wrote:
“With respect for my colleagues, the people of New York, and most importantly, myself, I am honored to tender my resignation."
“Unfortunately, you never took one point of professional advice given."
The resignation comes as the latest blow to Santos, who has been embroiled in a series of controversies due to his questionable background and alleged fraudulent actions.
Santos was arraigned in court last week and is facing a barrage of serious allegations exposing his alleged fraudulent schemes and dishonesty that allowed him to rise to Congress and enrich himself.
The charges against him include seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of misappropriation of public funds, and two counts of making false statements of material fact to the House of Representatives.
Additionally, Santos has entered into an agreement with public prosecutors in Brazil to avoid prosecution related to the forging of stolen checks. These legal entanglements have only heightened the scrutiny surrounding his actions and integrity.
Many see Woomer's resignation as more evidence that Republicans should expel Santos from the House.
Additionally, hardly anyone was surprised she resigned in the first place given Santos' character.
\u201cWhat does it say to you that Santos\u2019 own staff wants him expelled but Republicans in Congress still protect and harbor him\u2026\n\nhttps://t.co/qs0Mdjz44t\u201d— Eric Swalwell (@Eric Swalwell) 1684415818
\u201cGeorge Santos' communications director resigned today and publicly told him off.\n\nOne investigative outlet is now suggesting that George Santos' campaign treasurer may not even be a real person.\n\nMeanwhile Kevin McCarthy still doesn't have the balls to expel George Santos.\u201d— Palmer Report (@Palmer Report) 1684445918
\u201c@MSNBC @MaddowBlog The House GOP referred him to the Ethics Committee rather than expel him, just to keep his vote. Integrity once again on the chopping block\u2026\u201d— MSNBC (@MSNBC) 1684501253
\u201c@kevcirilli @MsMariaT @scrippsnews Narcissists always think they know better.\u201d— Kevin Cirilli (@Kevin Cirilli) 1684359870
\u201c@kevcirilli @djrothkopf @scrippsnews Petty little man. Thinks he knows everything. Obviously with his indictments, he doesn\u2019t.\u201d— Kevin Cirilli (@Kevin Cirilli) 1684359870
\u201c@kevcirilli @scrippsnews (1) This is someone so ethically challenged that she took a job working for George Santos; and yet,\n\n(2) The situation was so much worse than she had realized that she had to quit.\u201d— Kevin Cirilli (@Kevin Cirilli) 1684359870
\u201c@kevcirilli @scrippsnews Well. This makes sense. George Santos, inventor of communications, doesn\u2019t need advice.\u201d— Kevin Cirilli (@Kevin Cirilli) 1684359870
\u201c@kevcirilli @joncoopertweets @scrippsnews Often the case with these types of people. They hire professionals (communications) and then don\u2019t follow their advice. Apparently he thinks he knows how to manage his messaging better than the professionals. We\u2019re seeing how that\u2019s working out.\u201d— Kevin Cirilli (@Kevin Cirilli) 1684359870
Woomer, who joined Santos' team in January, brought prior experience in communications roles at the Massachusetts Department of Revenue and the Massachusetts GOP.
While she did not provide an immediate comment in response to reporters' requests, her resignation signifies a rupture in the already embattled Santos' inner circle.
The departure of a communications director can have significant implications for a public figure, as it affects their ability to effectively convey their message and manage public perception.
