Protesters demand Congressman George Santos' resignation

Some constituents for the newly sworn in Congressman George Santos are demanding he resign. As CBS2's Dave Carlin reports, investigations to sort out his admitted lies and alleged crimes are ramping up.

Extradite him to Brazil to face his crimes.

[danielkristianson]

Just seeing him standing there, taking the oath of office, makes me literally sick to my stomach.

[Buttercup]

As a congressman, he now gets security clearance... something he would NEVER have been able to get given his background. He absolutely should be kicked out of House membership immediately.

[GuitarWithBrett]

How can congress have lower standards than working at a basic job?

[ripadipaflipa]

All republicans needed Santos was to vote for speaker. I can’t imagine being soo disliked however republicans shouldn’t get away with using him for the vote then ignoring him and or getting rid of him because his lies look bad for their party.
Republican Party isn’t much better these days. It has become the party of no morals, lies and disgust.

I am not a New Yorker, but I support them 💯! His very presence in the Capitol is an insult to every voting American.

Santos is a National Security risk and should not be granted a security clearance. He has a direct link to Russian money and and may be a Russian asset.

[polemius]

Well, the more vile members of the House seem to have accepted him as one of their own.
No surprise.

So, if this is allowed, what is to stop someone who wants to do harm?

[topgrain]

Now that he officially among birds of a feather, good luck trying to remove him. But still give him NO respite.

[fredm]

Even on the vote he missed his unfamiliar name twice. How embarrassing

[MrKockabilly]

The small company I work for has much higher ethical standards than the US Congress.

Love how the first person to shake his hand was Gaetz

His finances alone should tell you that Santos is deep in the pockets of special interests groups both local and internationally, especially going from earning $55k to $11million within a year. He slept with the enemy and now owes them by keeping the job. China, Russia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia probably have a hand in his ‘success’ in raising funds.

[gregorchard]

Yeah right, the Republicult house ethics committe is gonna

[sheckyfeinstein]

Lucky for us there are a few people with integrity left in this country.

[jmda]

How the hell is this allowed to even happen?! He should not have been allowed to be sworn in!

[thesnootwoulddroop]

The only truth he's told we know for sure is him admitting to lying...

[alexusbratva]

Our Congress must have some shred of integrity, of standard. Toss Santos the F' out!
