#NBCNews #GeorgeSantos #Republican
He’s wanted by the cops in Brazil…send him back!!
Joe Biden lies a lot of his work expericences, including his driving 10-wheel trucks, attending this college and that college, top10% in law school etc.
Prove that Joe Biden never went to college? Or you can do that right after the Pillow Nitwit shows his proof that trump won the election.
Also, he said he had 100 yrs work experience in Congress! Satan is a master of lies without a blink, so is Joe Biden!
How in God’s name did this liar get away with winning the election? But then if we judged him by the standard of not lying we’d have not one politician populating Washington DC. It would be a ghost town.
He is the best example of the most shameless Republican liar…
Are we also asking Biden to resign…I mean having classified documents usually gets your residence raided by the FBI. Seems more serious than a resume fabrication.
ALL OF THE REAL PATRIOTS IN AMERICA WANT THE MARINES AND THE SPECIAL FORCES TO START ARRESTING ALL OF THE TOTALLY CORRUPT FELONIOUS CRIMINAL TRAITORS OF THE DEMONRAT PARTY ASAFP AND THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA COMPLEX TRAITORS AND THIER OWNERS FOR TREASON AGAINST AMERICA!!!!!
WILL HE BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH DECEIT FOR SOME KIND OF AGENDA? HOW CORRUPT. WHO CAN TRUST THIS GOVERNMENT?
Thankfully, this walking piece of dung will be fired!
What about Julia Salazar?! What about Elizabeth Warren ?! What about Resident Joe Biden ?! All three have been caught saying the same kind of lies not just once but multiple times.. only difference is that George Santos is on the other side of the fence. Its not okay to be a liar UNLESS you’re on the left. When will there be an outcry to remove ALL liars.
https://youtu.be/szIN-0T7SV0
So what Biden lied about his past he’s the president.
No reason for Republicans to want to keep him. The liar is probably a Democrat pretending to be a Republican, like so many RINOs.
What a pudgy liar.
Now that the Republicans don’t need Santos anymore, they are ready to revert to ethics.
HE was NOT ELECTED..he needs to really stop- the entitlement is absurd. Resign? He should be indicted, and audited, can you Resign from a jail cell? ..Let one of us lie to the government… absolutely ridiculous..
Have you seen all the lies that Biden has told!?
Got to give it to him for pure unadulterated flummery. It did get pretty outrageous, and no one called him on it. No one. But, they voted for another person, not him. They voted for the guy whose mom died in 9/11, not of breast cancer many years later. And, they voted for a guy with different credentials than he had. These are outright lies not embellishments, and they were meant to deceive, not just to inflate his ego. He probably won’t go quietly. Why would he? He is a scam artist, who can lie with the best of them. And, this is his moment of stardom. Can’t wait to see what happens.
By placating to him in the house they are all but guaranteeing a Democrat takes the seat back next year.
Joe bidumb is the biggest crook, liar and thief. There is no questioning that. #Impeach46now
Gerge Santos was elected by deceit… lying is a crime the LEGAL term i believe is PERJURY…..
George Santos is the hero who saved America in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Spanish American War, the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq. And anyone who says otherwise isn’t a true MAGA nitwit.
George Santos’s run as speaker was the best era this country has ever had. It just makes sense that Republicans would try and kick him out for it.
RINOS
Same ones that didn’t support trump when he was president
He should step down how about Biden he been lying every day and also the Democrat is that all those people had to go right
If ever politician resigned because they lied we’d have a much smaller and less oppressive government. Sounds good to me
Why?!! Biden lied about all kinds of things on his “resume” and did it multiple times and got away with it. What did we get? Crickets
Wow, a lying politician… that’s something new.
Not for MAGA. Not by a long shot. Isn’t that right Incel.
@joyce shefland right, wink wink.
He can run in next presidential election and become greater than Pres Joe Biden.
He can run as a MAGA nitwit and represent every last one of those dorks perfectly. Isn’t that right, dork.
Why should he resign? Elizabeth Warren has falsely claimed to be Native American for decades. Robert Francis O’Rourke, aka Beto, falsely claims to be hispanic. Democrats are totally fine with both of those cases. Santos should just claim to be transracial.
Santos was cut from the same piece of crap that you were. Care to pretend otherwise?
@joyce shefland Your transracial phobia/raciallyfluid phobia is showing Joyce. Try stepping into the 21st century you troglodyte.
Don’t forget Schitt who has “proof” of all the “Russia collusion”.
@joyce shefland RACIST!
George Santos has finally admitted that Kari Lake is his mother and Donald Trump is his father. That’s the only truth he has ever said out loud!!
He wears a backpack…
And a tampon.
@joyce shefland A diva cup maybe..
“Santos was elected to server the people…” Um, no he wasn’t. That was some other guy who does not exist.
I bet that just like the rest of the MAGA alpha males, George Santos likes to dress in women’s clothing and hang out at bars. Isn’t that right, MAGA loser?
The Republican party booting out a member merely because he’s a liar? Not likely. Fake news!
How can they demand Santos resign when Trump did so much worse. The hypocrisy is outrageous
Democrats want to kick Santos out because he’s a lying sack of sh*t. Republicans want to kick Santos out because he represents MAGA to perfectly.
George Santos has been rejected in Nassau county, because He is black!
If George Santos was an Honest and ethical man, he would be a democrat, isn’t that right MAGA.
Yo Dusty Johnson is literally an agent from the matrix? Just imagine him saying “Mr. Andersonnn” at 1:15
George Santos is a copy of Donald Trump – under investigation for crimes, lying about his athleticism, educational qualifications, where his money comes from, his success in business, etc.
He is a copy of his and Kevin McCarthy’s hero. Why can’t the GOP as a whole see that when they look art him they are seeing a younger Donald J. Trump?
How did they not check his background if he was black they would have. It5a safety concern too.
How is it possible that they have never said the same for Trump? It’s like the Republicans are PURE HYPOCRITES, because Trump is much, much, much worse than this Santos fellow.
The takeaway lessons learned from Santos fraud should be, that evil, deceitful intent, will use
religion, college credentials, wealth, and power affiliations, to seize control in government. But can those responsible for vetting these sinister minds possibly partners in crime, be trusted, to police themselves? Do memberships in these affiliations for example: former investment house employee’s, real estate magnates, really guarantee the most qualified government candidate? Should they matter? I guess the fact that Donald Trump ended up in the Whitehouse, answers my own question.
Santos looks crazy he has no soul you can see it in his eyes. Why do all suspect whit guys have that hanging chin skin like a lizard 🦎
Good. They ‘re finally taking out some of their trash. There’s more trash to take out though. MTG, Boebert, Trump
Meanwhile No one is outraged by Richard Blumenthal’s much worse dishonesty…..
Never step down and never give into the left
And keep on lying. Right MAGA nitwit?
NBC NEWS – WHY DON’T YOU TELL BIDEN, KAMALA HARRIS, BOUTELLIGE AND THE REST OF THE CORRUPT DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS WHO ARE RUINING OUR COUNTRY TO RESIGN???? HIPOCRATS… YOUR MESSAGE IS THE SAME… JAIL SANTOS BECAUSE HE IS REPUBLICAN BUT ALLOW ALL THE CORRUPT DEMOCRATS TO NOT BE TOUCHED… WHAT A DISGRACE AND WHAT A HIPOCRAT TV STATION YOU GUYS ARE. WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT STUPID AND CAN SEE YOUR AGENDA TO PROTECT THE CORRUPTION, WOKE MOVEMENT AND SOCIALISM BECAUSE OF ALL THE MONEY THEY ARE PAYING TO YOU TO DO IT… HIPOCRATS….
Gee nitwit, is there too much Fentanyl in your meth again?
@joyce shefland WE CAN TAKE YOU GUYS TO THE BEACH BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU CAN’T FIND WATER… YOU GUYS WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND NOR YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THE HUGE ISSUE WITH OUR MEDIA TODAY AND WITH OUR CORRUPT GOVERNMENT. IT IS AS IF YOU ARE PERFECTLY OK WITH OUR CORRUPT FAKE NEWS STATIONS AND GOVERNMENT AND YOU WANT IT TO CONTINUE TO WATCH CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNBC AMONG OTHERS. KEEP THAT POSITION AND WATCH HOW OUR COUNTRY WILL BECOME THE NEXT VENEZUELA…
Greene, Gaetz, Kevin McCarthy says Santos deserve to be in Congress.
Trump, Walker, now Santos.
Republican Party = liars & thieves.
If you ask Santos if he knows what a woman is he’ll start twirking.
At least Eddie Murphy acting in the 80s movie “distinguished gentleman” did not lie.
First time he votes like a Rino…get him!
Did Santos say he was an Astronaut and walk on the moon, he also built the Eiffel Tower..
Santos was elected by the voters, he was and is the supported GOP candidate. He seems to have McCarthy’s support. I say let them both be co speakers of the house and let Santos serve on the top committees. Also, let him be ambassador too at the same time and get another salary.
Be patient, folks. Santos will resign-“ish”
He looks like a serial killer. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya’!
Let him stay . He represents the clownery , disarray and sham his party has become 😂
Santos is the face of the GOP.
Biden lies constantly
The entire Republican Party is filled with liars. They should all resign.
RESIGN RESIGN RESIGN !!!!
Every time I see him dressed as a priest wannabe, I want to shout! Fraud! Liar! Embarrassing!
Not being ethical will result in more than just 1 seat loss. The party should be better than this.
Gosh, I just can’t imagine why anyone thinks Kevin McCarthy is a complete low life….
jorge santos (or whatever his name is ?) is an american Hero and a Maga Patriot -!!- If he uses “alternative facts” so what – facts are facts – alternative facts too…..
He looks like he is enjoying this….he won’t resign because the GOP has empowered him.
The LOSER needs to go. Unfair to voters, he is a liar and manipulates his past, he will lie in his job function & to voters about the future! No morals, no ethics!
Follow the money. I’m certain that will give them justification to lock him up. He’s not Old King Cole. The money had to come some where. I’m certain if you could put your finger on where you would have to was it.
Mr Santos is on track to becoming Florida Governor DeSantis’ running mate in 2024.
Voters need to do homework before voting. You get what you asked for. Good luck! And who knows..his real name is not George Santos🤣😂🤣
trumps administration was full of lies and bs and they didn’t they one word >>>>>
Why are we wasting tax dollars and time on this pig. Throw him out! He was never in government service based on lies unless our government is based on lies.
GOP should keep Santos. It will be one of the best gift for 2024.
McCarthy will not dismiss Santos because the special election will be a democrat. And, he needs every vote he can prostitute.
In America bad thing it is GOVERMENT fails and lack about background check before coups come out, this it is NO MERCY for lies (GUILTY-GUILTY).
I heard Forest Gump’s character is loosely based off the life of George Santos.
The Constitution can be convenient for Republicans
All lying politicians should resign then we would have the number we need ..ZERO
Deceit, lies, fabrication. Stock in trade of the GOP.
What examples are you giving if not resigning? Shame
He will put by spring or before the Omnibus debt ceiling is set to be raised.
this is a long way from his days as the star volleyball player at his collage…..that he never attended !
Loaned his campaign fund over $700K – that magically appeared out of THIN AIR. I guess money does grow on invisible trees where Santos (is that his name?) comes from…where was he born again???
KENYA PRESUMABLY ?
McCarthy 🤡 needs to address
George Santos to Resign or Congress
will address McCarthy to Resign
He should resign immediately!
Those 👄 are they real? He’s lying about those too.
What the heck’s going on with that dudes lips? is he trying to look like Kim Kardashian? Freaky
The dude is actually a woman named Georgina Santos from Cuba.
Get Elizabeth warren, a longtime con artist , to quit and give her spot to a real native american.
(0:25) “Keep our community safe and lower the cost of living” – The GOP seems to fight against these goals, even internally.
It’s called white privileged, plain and simple. IJS 🤔
Hey America !! Are we stupid, or what? Investigating to arrest election fraud participants from the Jan. 6th disaster, while leaving the door wide open, for the George Santos Special. Where is the mass outrage? Any Joe or Josette (no offense intended to people owning those names)off of the street can create a fake persona complete with powerful affiliations, maybe borrow hundreds of thousands depositing it in a campaign finance account and bam, just like that, you get access to classified secrets, exclusive voting rights in Congress to decide on our financial entitlements, funded office back home. And the only way we can hook the alleged crook is by voting them out, years later? All of a sudden, the constitution and democracy we’ve been protecting, appears to have more hole’s, than swiss cheese.
All this is about is avoiding a campaign ad saying these NY GOP did nothing and were part of the problem. It’s not a moral, ethical or other type of issue for the GOP else you would see proportional condemnation from the GOP in other parts of the country. They think this will save their re-election hopes in 2024 to keep their districts as Red.
Oh? Why aren’t Democrats calling for liars like Pelosi, Schitt, Swallwell, and Biden to resign?
GEORGE SANTOS SAYS HE IS A LATINO JEW
Those Republicans who refuse to condemn Santos, they themselves probably have something to hide too.
That George Santos is a true politician. He would lie about his mother’s name. I think he will fit in perfectly. I can see a movie deal.
Leave him alone. NY should be grateful, he saved the city multiple times. He once fought the Shredder in the rooftop with four ninja turtles.
The biggest lier in Washington next to joe Biden and he’s president.
Biden should be impeached for treason. What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander. If they are calling for a resignation from anyone it should be Biden.
Lol, every member in that house has lied about something. Is the degree of lying significant? Biden lied about his education, and dozens and dozens of things over the last 20 years. Where the call for him to resign??
Direct descendant of King George III– on the Q-Anon line of blue blooded American rulers who has managed to outshine the Master Rhinoceros….
