SENATE HEALTH SCARES UNDERSCORE AGE OF AMERICAN POLITICAL LEADERS AFTER MCCONNELL FALL 

... 

The city of Newark, N.J., just got scammed into becoming a sister city for the Hindu nation of Kailasa, but the problem is, the nation of Kailasa doesn't exist, and it never did. Newark thought Kailasa was a Hindu nation just off the coast of Ecuador. No one in the entire Newark government thought to themselves, "There's a Hindu island off the coast of South America?"  

No one at the city council in Newark thought, "Hey, I've never heard of this country. What's their food like? What's their clothing look like? Are there beaches or rainforests in Kailasa? Let me just do a Google search before we get these guys into a room and make them our sister city." No — instead, they ran with it. Not only did they get duped, but they got duped by a self-proclaimed fake kind of Kailasa, a serial rapist.
