In the latest twist regarding the House seat once held by the expelled New York Rep. George Santos, the state GOP appears to have chosen a Democrat as a replacement.

Mazi Melesa Pilip would seem to check all the boxes for a solid GOP candidate, Politico reported.

She is a two-term Republican member of the Nassau County Legislature who has championed law enforcement and low property taxes. She is also a pro-Israel Orthodox Jew and has even served in the Israel Defense Forces.

However, Pilip has been a registered Democrat since 2012, Politico reported, citing public records it had “uncovered.”
