He has to prepare for the Super Bowl although he isn't sure which team he'll play for yet.

[phototristan]

He just wants to sit around and collect a paycheck. Plus he is loving all the attention on him. He thinks he's absolutely fabulous. He needs to be indicted!

[charliebrown]

The audacity of this man is truly amazing.

[tina-xybr]

He is not qualified to serve on the PTA.

[Frostbite]

He's gonna show up to his committee tomorrow and act like he never said he'd step away.

[rudeboyjohn]

Imagine being hired a few weeks ago and immediately being like, "Nah. I aint gonna do any of that work lol"

[jamesrussell]

Temporarily..should be like….YESTERDAY!

marje : santos and me had too many jew-ish lazers shining on him

[macforme]

He needs to step back from the Congress and go back to Brazil and face the charges he had there.

[susansellars]

Now he needs to resign! He's an admitted liar and an embarressment to our country, but he does fit right in the Republican party!

[vincecallagher]

Santos would never choose to do the right thing, b s. He was forced off! Give us the truth.

[dannmarceau]

McCarthy is taking so much heat he had no choice but to strip "George Santos" of his committees.

[renatofarias]

Santos should resign if he has integrity as a conservative ...😝)

[MeoMiyo]

He knows he's busted so he backing down to avoid the embarrassment coming soon.

[brightbright]

Not sure why Kevin kept defending this

[royburns]

He’s always been in reverse apparently

[dougl]

A patriot needs to meet him alone somewhere

[NevaUndaPressure]

The walls are closing in. #KitaraRavache
