Update: George Santos just declared himself the winner of the 2024 election. Said he got all the votes.

[julesbower]

The fact he is allowed to just continue to serve, says all you need know about the GQP.

[LinasMuliolisCHomestar]

Republicans sure do know how to read the room, don't they?

[blueknight]

Santos is the literal embodiment of the GOP.

[saneasthenextguy]

He is probably just doing this as a way to launder money thru his campaign.

[maximilianemusterfrau]

This is incredible disgusting that GOP lets this happen.

[jimcates]

Well, there’s another safe Democrat seat . . .

[tubruton]

George Santos clearly stated he would not run for reelection, so of course he's running for reelection.

[seekknowthe]

It's a shame he doesn't have shame for his deception. Just another attempt to grift. Grifters of People (G.O.P.)🤬🤯

[rockpirate]

the system does not work. If we lied on every single aspect in a job interview, we get fired. How can this person still be there???

[jamescox]

At this point, George Santos is like a skunk trying to sell its own smell as perfume! The dude politically stinks to the High Heavens!

[kpokpojiji]

I think that the Republicans should nominate George Santos as the head of their Truth and Reconciliation Commission. He's the perfect Republican.

[lukeoliver]

It’s cute that the Talented Mr. Santos thinks he will be anywhere but the slammer in 2024 😂!

[FloatDown]

I heard he's already got a primary challenge from Anthony Devolder

[LilSebastian_]

"I invented breathing, but I let the human body take the credit." - George Santos.

[tringuyen]

I’m shocked and appalled that Santos would go back on his word!😏

[keepcalm]

Santos is the living, breathing embodiment of the audacity of the GOP. No shame, no remorse, no integrity, no accountability and ultimately no character.

[apprentessjgooden]

I can't believe George Santos left the Supreme Court to run for this seat again, he's in uncharted waters. 😏

[GregAkers]

He says he's running again, but the way he lies, does that mean he's not running again....I'm so confused !!

[donyoung]

Sounds like it's the best job he ever lucked in to. Of course he'll want to keep it.
