Damaging the Republican brand?! That's funny. That ship has sailed folks!

[bumpert]

Maybe it’s time to double check all the GOP’s members’ credentials.

[geinikankan]

How can you swear in a man who is an absolute fraud? What does he swear on? His mother's grave?

[mattbrody]

As I said it many time he casts a long shadow on GOP but conservative media ignores him. It is telling. I am getting tired of GOP and conservative media.

[Sunday_Morning]

Damn, there are people desperate enough to work for Santos ?? I bet they will lie about it on their future resume. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[brightbright]

To me, all Republicans looks like Santos.

[marilyn_H]

He doesn't have no husband. He made that up too.

[joyceshefland]

Why bother Swearing Santos in? It isn't like his oath means anything.

[josephteller]

Since McCarthy is going to Gut the Ethics committee with his promises to get to be speaker, it means that the Congress will not be removing him. Its up to the local and federal agencies to take him out (or return him to Brazil for trial).

[AshesOfTheKing]

Disgusting. Lock him up. I don’t even believe his name.

[VT_Hokies]

I think there is no question that he is not 'jew-ish'. The question whether he is a crook or not remains open. Until the authorities change him with many of his alleged crimes, he has to be considered 'crook-ish'.

[prodogtwodogman]

It’s not his fault. He’s a good Republican.

[moresalad]

But Santos was the first man on the moon. America baby 🇺🇸

[leesingers]

Is it the case that once the pathalogical liar is sworn I the RNC will pay his legal fees

[tomy.]

I hope his office is downwind from a public toilet.

How is it possible that McDonald's would do a better background check?

[oliverbanks]

This dude make Hershel walker look honest..

[joyceshefland]

Has MTG asked Santos out on a date yet? They would make a lovely couple. The only question is, "Is MTG man enough for Santos?".

[redwood]

He has a Washington, D.C. office phone - give him a call and let him know how you feel

[christopherrobinson]

Now that Brazil knows where he''ll be hiding they should come pick him up for the ... {check fraud}... maybe this whole contretemps could have been avoided with a simple background check. 😂
