George sadly is more honest on his worst day than Jeffries has been in his whole life.

[James-nytn]

That really is the pot calling the kettle black.

[absolutebackhand]

Santos is almost as bad as Hunter. But not as bad as Joe

[joe.oneill]

Your words would carry some weight if you called out the frauds in your own party as well Congressman.

[MalchikGuy]

Low-hanging fruit
.. I thought they could jump high

[salvadoracevedo]

JEFFREIES!! THE ELECTION DENIER HAS NO ROOM TO TALK ABOUT ANYONE!! HE IS A RACIST 😢

[ndAd-bpdz]

What is he bitching about he's just being JUST LIKE YOU ALL

[rvzuvbc]

give him some cheese to go with that whine

At first I wrote off Santos as just another politician liar. I'm starting to think he's trolling the dems and holding a mirror up to them.

George Santos is as honest as Trump is a 2020 election winner

[juegomaestro]

I am curious - Has anyone asked him how this compares to Joe Biden lying about his college, his degrees, his speeches.

[RohARc]

Lying to a state versus lying to the world which one do y'all think is worse 🤔

[JMAC]

Jefferies talking aout economic well-being….. laughable as they are sendin LARGE to Ukraine….

[Eyeballman]

Does this guy think he's shadow boxing with Trump? What's with his hands?

[danielaramburo]

How dare you criticize a Medal of Honor Joke

[NatureGal]

He acts like he thinks he's so much better than others, , , gives a Superior air.... WE sir don't riot burn down peoples lives, vandalize, to get attention as if throwing a childish tantrum... You dare insult others as youve defended people who actually are vile.

[alexchavez]

Bravado, alternative facts, misspoke....so many euphemisms (nice words) to describe a lie. Is there no one in Long Island who could have vetted this mendacious man?

[benvineyard]

Such a fancy Eager like Ben Carson, sad some are out in the yard some work in the home you my friend or no friend

[crawford]
