It used to be an insult if someone called you a liar.

[amnobody]

The nerve of these politicians. They stopped working for "we the people" and work for "me, myself and I".

[EddixBacn]

How can these people not get fired but let us American people miss one day and everyone loses their minds

[anklebiter]

He's probably the most honest politician in office. That is sad.

[FinarfinNoldorin]

He was elected under false pretenses. If I were those who voted for him, I would be a little more than angry.

[SGTsnick]

"142000 people voted for me." No, they didn't. They voted for a version of you that doesn't exist.

[mattjaxdad]

Let's make an example of the new guy. That way, the rest of us look more credible.

[blainelytle]

He is a prime example of everything that is wrong with our government and citizens in general...

[livinglegacy]

If he won't resign, he should be fired.

[oldcop]

A congressman should be kicked out for lying? If that standard were applied they’d all have to go.

[brucekrause]

How do you replace who the PEOPLE voted in? He wants to serve, unless they object, let him.

[sinahaase]

If that is the only reason someone can be fired in the house, we need new policies about this. So basically if he is a violent person, a liar, or a thief…none of that would automatically kick someone out of leadership? This is kinda dumb in my opinion.

[Saltyahole]

Why is he a “stain, ” specifically?

Is it because he used their tactics against them?

[Surveydog]

F-That, I'm redoing my resume right now. I am a doctor this week.

[charleshill]

let elizabeth warren resign first, just saying

[dasm]

You would have to be a fool to think he's the only one who's ever done this.

[savagebolt]

How can you tell when a politician is lying? They talk....

[jasonriede]

Oh he'll make a fine politician 😂😂

[LeonBosset]

"I will not resign". Famous swords spoken by every politician a few days to a few weeks B4 being kicked out of office.

[jakebluethunder]

"I was elected by 142, 000 people". On a bed of lies and deceit. Consider it null and void. Goodbye George. 👋
