Rep.-elect Santos quiet as speaker vote delays swearing-in

Republican Rep.-elect George Santos of New York, who is accused of lying about large swaths of his background and accomplishments, will have to wait to add one thing with certainty to his resume: U.S. congressman.

It's amazing. He is being completely silent, and yet, he is still managing to lie!

[joelbuchanan]

George Santos landing on the moon was amazing. When he explained the 10 commandments to jesus it was historic. He has a valid patent for air and he owns most of Australia and rents it to the locals. I am saddened to see this hero of a man being treated so shabbily.

Santos being sworn in: “Am I under oath when I take the oath?”

[jcrose]

I am appalled at United States Government!!! He confessed to lying about everything, and they are not holding him accountable. Brazil 🇧🇷 will only make him pay the money back.

From Herscher Walker, to Majewsky, to Kari Lake. All pathetic and that circus at the house today says it all. The GOP is dead.

[richietattersall]

Those FOOLS can't even agree on who should be Speaker of the House, HOW can any same person think that they should be in control of the House of Representatives?

[jamesstinedurf]

here's hoping that the press actually research all of these people in the future so that they don't get away with lying so blatantly

[danforster]

Even Gaetz and MTG are staying clear of Santos.

[Txepsiyu]

Representing Republicans in Queens? No, he's just there to vote for McCarthy as speaker. That's his entire reason for being there.

[thomaswinacott]

Santos should never be sworn in or any other person for government that does not honour their oath !

[Ebbrush]

he is also an astronaut and talks to dolphins

[TimothySlickback]

Man he should do the citizens in his district a favor and resign!

[maxbash]

Santos shouldn’t get too excited about the swearing in part.
If Gaetz V McCarthy continues as it did today it maybe a couple of months.

[colico]

This man is truly shameless. Imagine having the audacity to show your face after all that has been revealed about him. It's truly astounding. He must owe somebody something. There's no other explanation for such behavior.

[wildego]

The GOP can't Afford to get rid of him.
Look How the vote for speakers going.

[chiwawa]

Santos can’t come to grips that his career is over before it even starts. That’s gotta be depressing.

[banditkitty]

how can he vote if he has not been sworn in yet

[deere]

Takes a lot of cojones to try this stunt. How long did he think he would get away with this fraud?

[alphaomega]

When your OWN Team won't even sit with you or talk with

[stuartaaron]

I was hoping that federal agents would arrest him there for extradition to Brazil to face the check fraud charges he skipped out of.
