DNC Chair: GOP has ‘no moral compass’ on Santos

More House GOP condemn the lies of Santos, but refuse to call on him to resign. Tom Perez, former DNC chair and former Asst. Attorney General of the Justice Department tells Alicia Menendez why he thinks it’s “only a matter of time” before Santos gets indicted and why he believes McCarthy’s inability to tell Santos to resign is an “embarrassment.”

Make no mistake, the Party KNEW who he wasn’t, and they got out there and supported him and then cheered when he won.

[usiohaki]

The sly smile he put on when being asked about his lies is more than disgusting.

When a company finds out you have lied on your resume you are usually fired.

I was shocked when trump became the Republican party nominee. Horrified when he won. Devastated almost daily when he showed how awful he was and of course still is. Now the entire party seems to have devolved into a massive corrupt and mean spirited mess.

There needs to be a procedure for ousting people like this immediately, including those senators who apparently support insurrection! Its absolutely ludicrous!

[gregbartley]

I worked at the 2016 RNC in Cleveland. There was a group of delegates who expressed their concern about their nominee saying things such as “he will single handily destroy our party as we know it.” 6+ years later, here we are.

George Santos served in WWII, Vietnam, and fought alongside Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo.

Why does it take so long to charge somebody. I cannot believe that a crime has not occurred. You don't need to add them all up together you can go ahead and charge them with the first real clear cut one. Get it going, you can always charge him with additional's.

[jimsmith]

Santos violated the 1st rule of Republican ethics violation policies.
DON'T GET CAUGHT!

[lutgardocoronel]

American justice is slow even when there's tons of evidence against the culprit

[jion]

I've been a George Santos fan since the D day where he stormed the Normandy and personally arrested Hitler

[DarylPell]

Moral compass? Since when? Lying is all they do.

As an elder millennial, one of the few advantages is having lived through the Great Recession. My advice. Reduce unnecessary expenses, increase your savings by investing in financial markets and do not sell. One thing I know for sure is that diversifying your income can help insulate you from much of the craziness going on in the world.

[HotelPapa]

The GQP does not have a moral compass. Period.

[debspring]

No moral compass on anything… I have been saying this for years… especially the acceptance of rump

[erock]

The long term damage that the GOP is willing to endure for instant gratification is crazy. They are literally going to have no voting base with the upcoming generations.

[loco]

Forget the "on Santos" part. The GOP no longer has a Moral Compass nor Ethics or Integrity, PERIOD.

[timdoggy]

It's not that "the GOP has no moral compass on Santos"
The GOP has no moral compass at all

[douglasreagan]

Remember the Time Santos said he graduated in the top 10% of his law class?

[janeford]

On Santos? No moral compass on anything.
