#NBCNews #KevinMcCarthy #GeorgeSantos
McCarthy 101. When you’re backed up against the wall and you are forced to do your job because the eyes of the world are on you And you can’t talk your way out of it. That’s the only reason why this is. Happening otherwise otherwise he would just bull 💩 His way through this and guess what people will accept it because like most of his Followers and supporters they want to remain woefully ignorant. #Justice 4 “Kitara” Lol
So I can run for president with a drug conviction on my record lol😅
He’s also facing charges in Brazil for check fraud 😂
Brazilian prosecutors made a deal with George Santos. Brazilian prosecutors told George Santos that no charges will be filled against him, BUT he must admit to wrong doing AND pay the $1300 (which was the amount of the check). George Santos took the offer.

Source?
We’re not hearing about Joe Biden laundering millions thru his family?
All the deluded loony tunes are repeating the talking points like nice little parrots.
Interesting
Nothing to say on the Biden crime family
You mean how the republicans spent millions of dollars, have 65 pages and literally nothing incriminating Biden. Y’all are literally a joke
Buh, buh, but, but…HER EMAILS!
Cope harder conservative 🤣
Half of the Politicians lied to get into office
The Republican Party is truly filled with the stupidest people alive it’s amazing that they’ve lived this long and are this dumb truly inspirational 🙏
But he’ll still rely on his vote the rest of his term. Even if he was convicted tomorrow, still wouldn’t expel him. No morals, dignity or common sense
Morals and dignity are for the campaign trail. In the vipers nest of our modern Congress, such sentimentalities are lethal.
He won’t support his re-election but desperately wants his votes
He better not if he knows what’s good for him😂
He only wants to keep him now, for his vote of course.
what a hero.
I’ll bet Santos can do something below the belt to earn McCarthy’s support. 😉
🤮
Uh-oh… Reps must have another wing nut waiting to take Santocchio’s place.
*Biden crime family is the real news.* Get on it already.
@@rwhclo
You shouldn’t call yourself names.
@@mr.d.572 Why? You are the one repeating nothing but propaganda.
You are worried about Trump, who only had political power for 4 years, and act like he sold out the country meanwhile Briben has been taking money in exchange for his political power to make decisions that had a negative impact on Americans…for decades. You can try to say it’s a right wing conspiracy but we lived it and still living it so make no mistake, your life has been directly impacted by Bidens decades of treason. You are just not bright enough to know it.
Troll alert.
@@rwhclo Typical response from leftists who don’t like facts. Bet your life sucks right?
@Zack You cant can’t defend Biden without blaming Trump. And if I recall, you drew first blood back when you denied his election in 2016. Democrats are election deniers.
@Zack You actually deserve Briben who is flushing this country down the toilet because democrats are not worth a crap.
@@rwhclo You deserve a POC like Briben who is flushing this country down the toliet. You certainly do not deserve a great leader like Trump.
McCarthy needs to impeach Biden
He can’t and won’t.
@@rwhclo Biden should be impeached
It’s not about election; it’s about making money.
That would be so funny if Santos got re-elected it shows how divided the Republican party is
He’s gonna come back and run as georgina santa😂😂
Say what you want about him, he is a hero for piloting the jet that shot down the Chinese balloon
The Fact is, Santos is About to get KICKED OUT; And McClownthy will Lose the House Sooner than Expected!
Easy way out. What about getting rid of him now? Or slime yourself 😮
Shut up
McCarthy has zero morals either, so Im not surprised he says this now
Kevin is a lying Fascist Traitor!
Welcome to the Fascist GOP! 🤮
Good! We don’t want Santos! He’s morally suited for the DNC
His lies and theft are a Republicans playbook, Are you still living the lie…..
It hilarious how a 6 months ago, you were Santos’ biggest fan, but know that his criminality (which is typical of all conservatives) has been exposed, you are dropping him. 🤣
McCarthy has determined that Santos has outlive his usefulness. His disownment of Santos has nothing to do with ethics.
many men are learning of their inner goddess
Georgie don’t drop the soap in the shower
Who cares! He is a nutcase, and we all knew this already. NBC….how about some reporting on the Biden family and how they took millions of dollars in bribes from Ukraine, Romania, and China? I mean….you reported on Clarence Thomas and his money. Why don’t you report on Biden and his corrupt family? Oh that’s right….because that would require real journalism. Something you guys forgot how to do.
McCarthy is such a weak leader
McCarthy: I don’t support him unless I need his vote.
Santos has Kevin by the ba–s!! lol
Oh but he’ll support crooked Trump.
Even after such a fraud, the boy’s club still hopeful?
Gavin newsome votes AGAINST reparations for black people because he doesn’t need their vote…he OWNS their vote time after time and blacks get nothing yet again
Doesnt Santos have dogs to steal? He’s better at that
News of the Future Today: While on the campaign trail, George goes missing right from under his own private security detail. During the investigation of his disappearance, a woman is spotted fitting George’s discrimination discretely fleeing the location. The GOP defends his actions saying, “By disappearing George Santos is giving his constituents what they truly want.”
The Complicity of the REPUBLICAN PARTY is Astounding!
He’s doing something right?
What a brave stance….once it is clear that he is going to jail….McCarthy walks away.
Did we have to ask?
Yes, we did.
they won’t get rid of him they want his vote
TULSI
This is completely irrelevant 😂. The media is just pathetic, human cockroaches every last one of them.
1) He already got his vote for Speaker
2) He already got the inside story that he’s guilty as sin
/golfclap McCarthy. You’re such a stand-up guy.
😂😂😂😂
Proof positive that you can commit ANY crime you want to as a Republican and they will protect you, EXCEPT mess with their donor’s money.
That’s the best he can do? The absolute least?
Santos fits the republican reputation
But, he won’t allow a vote to expel Santos.
I hope people aren’t stupid enough to vote for him again but it’s America you never know …
Msnbc is worthless! What about the Biden corruption ? Theyre coveringg up for traitor joe.
Santos is a ridiculous case. There has got to be an easier way to remove Congressmen who get caught lying about literally everything in their life. He’s a complete fraud. Like cartoonishly stupid how he’s still in Congress.
That’s the smartest thing he’s ever said…and I’ll believe it when I see it
This qualifies as breaking news? That’s weird, main stream media has a total blackout of the Biden crimes.
ABC will soon fall.
Why didn’t NSBC report Joe Biden receive millions money from CCP? Why? NSBC is misleading Americans, you are traitors of American. Rep. Santos is a hero, only reason he was prosecuted, just becasuse he visit the NFSC a few days ago and he surpport Chinese to take down the CCP. DOJ is totally weaponized by CCP, wake up Americans
That’s what McCarthy says today. 🙄
Wow, how brave 😂
Wow. Even the slowest clock is right once in a while. Who knew McCarthy could make the mistake of doing something right? At least decide there is SOME limit to what they allow in their party.
Santos is delusional
So are all conservatives
Where’s the Biden family scandal, that’s BREAKING NEWS
I wish Lauren Bobert & Majorie Taylor Green would follow suit and be shown the door.
Good decision 😃
They’re doing all these for shorter representative. To destroy the Republicans representation
It’s almost like he has a spine, but I know he’s faking it.
I need to run for office, so I can pay for my debt.
BIDEN CRIME FAMILY BIDEN CRIME FAMILY
BIDEN CRIME FAMILY
BIDEN CRIME FAMILY
Majority of Americans never supported Joe Bribem’ or fake mainstream mockingbird news 🗞️
Maybe not.
But 81,283,501 people showed up to fire Trump.
And after Dobbs v. Jackson, more will show up to keep him fired….
Looks like the kitty 😺 caught a case!
Libs will support Joe though. Rediculous.
*Ridiculous
You probably still support Trump…Id bet a dollar…PS Joe is doing a good job
“Rediculous” 🤣
McCarthy can’t be trusted.
Ofcourse not, he already got used for his vote for Mccarthy
Yeah, but you can’t believe anything he says.
Well, that’s a bit of a surprise.
The same question, worded differently:
Do you plan to support santos for reelection?
So you don’t plan to support santos for reelection?
The first lends itself to a more concrete “Yes” or “No” answer.
The second, which the reporter asked at 0:31 is less direct, will not necessarily lead to a “Yes” or “No” answer and leaves room for waffling and evasion. That didn’t happen in this particular case (mccarthy said he would NOT support santos in a bid for reelection…) – but it could have gone differently.
I’m not a (presumably well-paid) Capitol Hill reporter but I know a weak question when I hear it. From where, I wonder, did this reporter obtain her journalism degree? SMDH.
The reporter asked the second one which is less direct
Neo-Republicans have no integrity. McCarthy bent over backwards for this grifter to win his speakership. Now that he’s no longer useful, Kevin suddenly grows a conscious?
Wow! A direct answer to a direct question….or was it part of a warning or negotiation? I’ll believe it when I see it. NBC please don’t ask MTG who has her support, because she would just use the opportunity to further divide the USA.
How can he get away with lying to people this time 🤔 Only those who’ve lived under a rock maybe 🤷♂️
He should be supporting his resignation. Oh, wait, right. You won’t do that because you need his vote. Hypocrite
Nobody really cares❤😂
McCarthy will not bring the vote on the congressional floor to throw Santos out of Congress because he needs Santos’s vote to stay in power.
In other words, McCarthy got what he wanted from Santos in terms of becoming Speaker of the House, and passing the budget bill. Now he is free to throw Santos under the bus.
George Santos wrote the US Constitution. Please give him a break.
Although Santa Claus, Bigfoot and the boogeyman are still staunch supporters according to Santos.
Nancy Pelosi will support Santo if he is a DemocRates congressman.
wow mac must have come up for air but he has done 180deg turns before.
Stop being Weak Speak Up
Sure
But he will keep santos in the house as long as humanly possible. McCarthy is a weak, worthless man and a horrible speaker.
That McCarthy dude is scary worse than pelosi
Great, now the weakest speaker ever, ever, Kevin McCarthy looses SanNots vote.
‘For what it’s worth’.
How about you real journalists open your pathetic mouths about the Biden corruption allegations. Be brave you people who dicided to report facts over lies. Simple integrity.
trump is going to announce that Santos is his running mate.
Wait ’til next week & see what McCarthy says…..he’s as wishy washy as a broken sewer pipe.
But he is ok with keeping this creep until the next election. McCarthy needs to go with Santos.
Stop thinking Mccarthy has anything relevant to say. He’s just a sock puppet for other idiots.
Now McCarthy is not going to support Scamtos. But he supported him when he needed his vote 😮
