#GeorgeSantos #Republicans #LongIsland
It is all just a show. There is no such thing as a Conservative who tells the truth, or a reTHUGliKKKan capable of keeping a promise. Nope.
Don’t give the lying Repub sob any peace! Hound him everywhere he is until he breaks down,cries & resigns on the spot!
He looks like the type of person that would do what he’s doing. All of it
“I wish well all of their opinions” isn’t even a proper sentence.
His constituents did not elect him, they elected an entirely different person !!
He’s as honest as any Dem
Don’t both sides want him to resign???? It shouldn’t be a political issue just get a normal person
Santos is a security risk for all Americans. He has no morals, no shame and he can not be trusted. At this point I really think he will, if not already, leak information to enemy countries. A political man did that in North Korean.
What example does this set? That you don’t even have to have a real identity to make it into politics, to become a president. Shoot you don’t even have to be born in America.
Seriously, launch an investigation into his allegiances. The guy’s lies are like a cover story for a Chinese or Russian spy.
Santos is an embarrassment to congress. He is a LIAR AND A THIEF AN SHOULD RESIGN BECAUSE NOBODY WILL WORK WITH HIM AND NOBODY WILL SUPPORT HIM.
The used him for his McCarthy Vote – Such Hypocrites!
Why would he resign? He’s getting paid. Paid by us the taxpayer; and we, the taxpayer, can’t even recall him.
Odds are Santos isn’t even his name.
The media should save themselves time: instead of reporting all of his lies, just list what is 100% true, if you can find something.
The people did vote for someone to represent them in congress, but that person wasn’t this George Santos. This George Santos should be forcefully removed because he is not who the people voted for.
George Santos was born in Guam, a U.S. territory; ask his Chamorro friends and neighbors because there are many Santos families on the island.😂
In addition, the district 3 of NY has now been changed to GQP Santos country. Each residents in Santos District 3, has their name added a middle name “S,” as their loyalty to the man George Santos.
This liar needs to go find a job some where else he told so many lies !
The irony because I’m guessing over half the senators are in the same position
Why keep misleading the public when thus fool lied about his entire background not just some . You fools in the news need to stop with tge partial and slanted reporting. Becareful how all you speak of how he’s a liar when the news is just as done the same. Funny how the pot is now calling the kettle black. Don’t forget Pedo President Biden didn’t just lie to get to the white house he continues to do so .
The Speaker needs the vote, so he’ll stay as long as his leadership keeps silent.
He has a husband — he says — that never has been publicly seen as far as I can tell.
Not only didhe come up with nearly a million to loan his campaign two years after he had essentially zero net worth! He also claimed to have $11 million in net worth. Gained in that same two years. Not as if any other politician has been challenged but… have we actually seen his birth certificate? Do we really know if he is really a US Citizen?? Not that having a birth certificate means anything but — does he have one??
Give him a chance? His lifetime of lies and deception is a substitute for tangible and practical accomplishments. He has nothing to offer his constituents in terms of being a part of the Legislative branch of the government.
So why don’t NY hold a special voting session to oust Santos and that would decide should he stay or should he go
When you seek help with populist Gaetz you must be in deep, deep trouble.
He’s an illegal immigrant.
Fabricating “parts” of his background?? What parts were actually true??
The people DIDN’T elect him. They elected a Jewish man who’s mother died in 911, employees died in the pulse night club, went to prep school, mom was a pioneer business woman, and worked at Goldman sacs and citibank and graduated college with a 3.89 and played Colley ball… voters are still not sure what they got
Good
Al Franken resigned for much less, boy was that stupid of the Democrats to push that.
He was elected on painful lies. If he is allowed to remain in congress, then does nothing matter anymore. Why work hard to graduate from a Baruch, an NYU, or a Harvard, when you can just say you did. In this current political world, Scoring points on the other side is all that matters, ethics, morality and serving the people mean nothing.
Well you lied to get where your at. how much more lying will you do to get where your going
this person is an insult to the lgbtq community
I wonder if the republican party really understands the damage he is doing to them.
Republicans in Nassau County, New York (which is one of the suburban areas of the New York/New Jersey/Connecticut tri-state area that surrounds the 5 boroughs of New York City) are embarrassingly disappointed because George Santos is liar and he has duped them.
The entire nation should be embarrassed our current sitting president has been a lier about his past credentials his entire political career. What a great country we live in. But no worries we’re supporting nazis in Ukraine to keep you safe. Peace
@Rednote Records Our current sitting President has done nothing wrong. We are not embarrassed at President Biden. We are embarrassed at you, Donald J. Trump, and the whole neo-Nazi MAGA movement who want destroy America because corrupt autocrat Vladimir Putin is an asset to those greedy Silicon Valley venture capitalists while he’s massacring the Ukrainian people for nothing!
@Marcos Juarez you should look into the truth about what is really happening and has happened in Ukraine. Actual nazis, biolabs, Barisma and ties to the Biden family. Hopefully the truth will come out. And it is documented that Joe has lied about his credentials. Stop falling for the left right paradigm that is dividing our nation while sending billions of dollars to be laundered and line the pockets of the military industrial complex and politicians on both sides. Seek the truth and escape from cognitive dissonance. Peace.
@Rednote Records You are a puppet to that corrupt autocratic regime of Vladimir Putin in Russia. You are a puppet to America’s adversaries who happen to be corrupt autocratic thugs! America does not want corrupt autocratic thugs and authoritarians are corrupt!
DOes he have classified docs
I don’t know why this surprises anyone. After what T**** did to truth it was only a matter of time before someone would push the limit. Santos did nothing that T**** didn’t trump many times over.
His BS wouldn’t have been allowed in the GOP of a few years ago.
What a joke
So many words for lies.Except lies.There is no immoral or illegal act that would cause a these dirty republicans to reject one of their scummy,dirty comrades.
I guess the joke is on us. 😢🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
As well as being crazy, he actually looks crazy!
Parts? Good grief.
These republicans have no shame and now they have opened the door to con men who just say the things they wanna hear Knowing those voting for them will NEVER look up information on the guy. As long as he has an R by his name they’ll send literally anyone
God Santos looks like that kid in school…😂
Those people who “want to see what he’ll do”is exactly why an IQ test should be issued before allowing someone to vote. Their decision affects others. I’ve met crack heads who could see through Santo’s BS and they ARENT allowed to vote. Because they’re crack heads.
A typical criminal Repug. Prevaricator, crooked and shameless.
142,000
What did he win by, cuzz if that amount + two votes say out should be enough
Hum, can George Anthony Devolder Santos ever be believed, I don’t think so
If we lie in our applications we would’ve been fired asap why is he special ?
Correction, 143,000 people not 142!
The system is severely broken when it comes to verifying a candidate’s identity and background before they run for office. Then there’s no way to expel them when they are corrupt criminals and liars. That means that ANYONE can run for the highest government positions and be a spy or foreign adversary who is there infiltrating and or stealing government documents from the USA.
Santos just runs from the media and is snooping around the house getting nothing done.
Fabricated about parts of his background?! No! Deceived the voters lying about all of his background. The people didn’t vote for him, they voted for who he claimed he was. Fraud.
George Santos, second only to trump in the level of his fraudulent behavior, set a high bar regarding the conditions under which he’ll resign, namely that ALL 142,000 voters who elected him under FALSE PRETENSES, vote for his ouster. Good luck with
that, the chances of ALL 142,000 VOTERS objecting to him being their rep are slim to none so let’s forget about that happening.
Why didn’t the election officials in New York verify Santos’ identity and background before allowing him to run for office? We must have it done for employment, voting, and for passports, but it’s NOT required to run for the highest government positions. This should be the new rules for everyone else that applies for a civilian job in the government and all places of employment.
It’s okay to stay, if he is a democrats
You serve the in a lie
I hope that same thing with Ian Homar She must to go too long long time ago! She married her own btother to falsely bring him to USA and later her resl husband come too?!! Also committing other fraudulent stuff in Minneapolis. She must to Go! Too.💪🏼🇺🇲🙏🏻
His head on the GOP elephant should be the new Republican logo
McCarthy is ethically challenged.
Um fraud?
wait….
i thought manipulating the people waz part of the job description….
All of the White House is corrupt and clowns how can they tell him to resign when they lie and fabricate everything they do lol clowns just like this news channel and every other news channel
Hopefully Brazil will take him out!
Just like lying Joe biden.
What a sick puppy! Man have some dignity and resign.
Why are the reporters blinking so much 😂
He’s relishing in his deceit.
The main Republicans are protecting him! Even Matt Gaetz.
Yes give him a chance. He is the new face of the republican party. In 2024 that blue wave will be HUGE!
Is his name even George Santos ??
George Santos wants to use the 142T people he deceived as his reason he will not resign. How very subtle like the serpent in the garden of eden.
Mr. Santos do…….do you recollect….the day you first started to lie 🤥 and…….did your parents…..realize that you were…..a compulsive liar 🤥😬. As……a Southern……man…… myself I know….what it’s like to lie 🤥…..and I love 💕 it, are you…….telling me…….your……a proud…….southern…..man who…..loves…..to lie🤥 and are…you willing to move to the South and become ….a proper Southern…..politician. If so welcome.
It’s Pat !
Is it 142 or 142,000. And dude, get you some decent clothes. You’re giving choirboy dress a bad name.
The Republican Party, the party of Reagan and Eisenhower, has become the home for CON ARTISTS-That is SAD!
At this point why wouldn’t he be lying about his plans to resign.
Politics is 95% dishonesty and 5% lies. Goes with the territory. These aren’t boy and girl scouts. I judge them on what they get done. I don’t care how the sausage is made.
What does Santos’s family think of this circus. His children have to go to school, and his wife. How embarrassing.
republicans dont care about character anyways though.. hence Trump.. it doesnt matter if he is an awful person, it only matters that he votes for their horrible policies
Wonder if he is preparing a second act, that’s should he not land in prison.
RESIGN? WHY IS HE NOT IN JAIL!? He assumed and ran on a fake identity!
Who is this guy!? Lock him up! He’s a foreign spy. Who is he really!? Where are people who knew him in elementary school, and high school? Who knows who he really is? Nobody recognizes him as even growing up in America!
Where are his school records? He broke all kinds of laws and needs locked up now!
Hes not SANTOS,! Find out who he is. These reporters are useless.
Santos should definitely serve his time along with joker 45
He puts the “con” in con…gressman..
If I did that on my resume and my employer found out I would be fired and out on the street in a nanosecond.
Yes….. Santos is an embarrassment to the GOP…. but the GOP is an embarrassment in itself…
McCarthy needs all the dirty Republicans he can get and hold on to for the sake of a vote. Who really cares about the voters…. once the lever has been pulled in that voting booth; the people are stuck with a lemon.
He’s not even a us citizen and legally can’t be in congress. Full investigation, get a birth cert
House Republicans can force McCarthy to do the right thing by threatening a vote of no confidence against the speaker under the new house rules. If they really wanted to preserve the integrity of the House.
McCarthy wants to put this POS on a committee. Wtf?
He should run for President, he could keep lying about his qualifications and go all the way!
Lying is just part of the job description. Politics is mostly lying……
Cave-in McCarthy will protect him and Santos will not resign. Unless these republicans join the Democrats and vote him out, then he’ll be there to serve McCarthys interests.
Eney one who supports this fool…is the biggest fool ever…really lol.really….you can see he is a spy .. either russia or china that’s why he mentioned ware the money didn’t come from 🤔
He just wants that $175,000 a year for life
He is a liar and need to resign
fabricating parts? Was any of it true??
people didn’t elect him. They elected a fictional character he said he was. I mean, imagine if you had family members who actually suffered at the hands of the Nazis and voted for him to be supportive of that shared heritage only to find out he made it all up. That he’s Catholic and his grandparents were born in South America and didn’t flee from Hitler and it was fake.
Dispicable.
Imagine actually caring about this lol
