What a disgrace. Expelling someone who survived the bronze age collapse AND the Titanic? That is beyond cruel.

[francesmeyer]

His grandparents escaped the Holocaust by being born Catholic and in Brazil. Narrow escape!

[SaltyRocksPew]

I can't believe they kicked out war hero and Nobel prize winner George Santos

[socialistrepublicofvietnam]

How could they expel the man who saved me and my entire family from a burning building? This is outrageous

[chasingautumns]

I will never get over that nobody did a basic background check on this guy, and presumably didn't ever, on any candidate before him. My roommate got turned down by DoorDash because he has points on his license. DOORDASH does a better job at vetting people than the US Congress. You can't make this sh*t up.

[JimFortune]

"He stole puppies from the Amish." That alone should be enough to mark him down in the history of Congress.

[Megaritz]

Many politicians are understandably hesitant to punish Santos. Imagine what would happen if there were any kind of precedent for punishing a politician for lying.

[Omnicide]

I can't believe George Santos is taking credit for the accomplishments of Tommy Tallarico, the first American and inventor of honesty

[Danenos]

You joke about the founding fathers having Only fans subscriptions, but if Benjamin Franklin was alive in the modern era there's no way that old horn dog wouldn't have multiple subscriptions. He was a true renaissance man.

[TheOtherBoobJustDropped]

Crying “where’s the due process?!” about Santos getting kicked out of Congress is like saying “whatever happened to free speech?!” when you get ratio’d on Twitter

[MarkJones-n]

I’m DISGUSTED they expelled one of our founding fathers.

[UltimaKeyMaster]

Of everything Santos claimed, it was Spider-Man that convinced me it was all lies. Why would anyone willingly proclaim themselves to be involved with that trainwreck?

[Giraffinator]

"He stole puppies from the Amish" is one of the sentences of all time, I'm gonna be thinking about that one for a couple seconds.

[shaurmiath]

"Due process under the law, not due process under an Ethics committee" is such a silly line and I appreciate you highlighting it. It's like saying your boss can't fire you without a criminal trial. If they were sending him to jail without a trial, that would be denying him due process under the law. They're not. His trial is next year. The Ethics committee was supposed to determine if he had violated the ethical standards of the House. He was expelled from congress, not sent to jail. I'm so tired of people who know nothing about the law speaking so sanctimoniously about the law.

[zmarilu]

For the first 30 seconds I was like..."that sounds fake, but I don't know enough about US politicians to dispute it". Glad to see my instincts are right

[HaxStudio]

George Santos taught me that anything is possible if you lie confidently enough.

[anonUK]

Don't forget he was also the first astronaut on Mars, the youngest remaining Beatle (the only one born after they broke up) and he both organised and competed in the Rio Olympics, winning 12 gold medals. Of course, he's still not the biggest liar elected to the current Congress, nor the most corrupt- he's just the most transparently corrupt liar.

[DrunkenHotei]

Thank you for your brief service, Mr. Tallarico. Your mother must be so proud.

[MayaConner]

Imagine being such a crooked politician that even Congress is like, "nah, dude."

[blyatman]

How could they treat one of the men who raised the flag on Iwo Jima this way?! Has this nation taken leave of its senses?!
