Santos admitted he lied. That's guilty. Innocent left the Station two weeks ago.

And nobody bothered to check him out until he won the race.
How sad that is.

[bonedar]

he ain't gonna quit the best job he lied and cheated to get.

[stevenjamison]

Why did he even get sworn in?!?! Integrity just doesn't matter anymore.

[jo-ellenstone]

Anyone else who lied on their resume so many times would be fired immediately.
Should congress members be held to a lower standard???
I think not!!! 😮

Didn't he win the medal of honor and an Oscar.

It won't happen and McCarthy will protect him. McCarthy won't risk losing the seat.

[DarthBaras]

Capitol Police are eventually going to have to be carry him out of there.

"Defiant", more like "shameless".

[dannmarceau]

McCarthy's cliche or platitude, "You're innocent until..." is the best answer he can come up with.
It means nothing, but McCarthy doesn't have a better answer.

George Santos is supremely qualified to serve in Congress! He will be on the floor with the largest gang in the world!!!

[ivansalazar]

Kevin McCarthy is to become Santos' defense lawyer if George is sued by his constituents... 😆

[Sirius]

Sounds like he's qualified to run for president as a Democrat

[traildoggy]

Disgraceful. This is no way to treat the man who created Mount Rushmore.

[NeonDruid]

George Santos was the first person to summit Mount Everest.

[dennischristopher]

He doesn't look like he's played any sports....volleyball star 😄

[forwheelinallday]

He hasn't done anything different than any democRat in congress.

[rudymarquez]

How can people not vet a resume- for someone going out for Congress!!

[cljclb]

The thing is how did they even let him in Congress? This should atleasy bee in a trial if not jail but I guess the US system let him think he is whatever he thinks he is 🤔😒😛
