  1. It's not fair, he's the man who cured cancer and everyone is giving him a hard time.

  2. First Trump got elected and now this guy? What is wrong with our systems, and culture that rewards these kind of people?

  3. What gets me is that no one is calling santos"mini-trump" a smaller version of the lying, cheating traitor conman grifter-in chief.

  4. The fake cell calls as he lumbers around in confusion…

  5. He is wanted in Brazil for fraud and theft. Brazil wants him to be extradited so he can be convicted for fraud charges. A fraudster and thief. We heard about him being wanted in Brazil in the Irish news.

  6. It is still like a miracle, Dr osaba cured my herpes virus, I got his contact from his YouTube channel

  7. This guy will be fine in government its not often a republican can lie almost as good as a Democrat especially when he kinda trolled everyone with his lies.
    Its unfortunate we now have a pathological lying politician in government now but im sure one won't matter much

  8. Then of course still another lie about having been "sworn" in by the Speaker of the house. Ummm…rewind that tape please !!!

  9. House of Rep should refuse to seat him. Send him home in disgrace.

  10. What's wrong with lying? Most GOP does it anyway, of course Trump lead the pack

  11. Great, now we have the GOP party of liars and cons.What a great country!!!!

  12. He sold his family to someone high up…..

  13. George Costanza Santos

  14. The whole story would disappear, if he would just change his party affiliation.

  15. Not lying if that's what they identify as. Identity is more important than action plans these days. Well played, Mx. Santos.

  16. They are all liars so it really doesn't matter.

  17. Whadda a stinkin rat he is, a habitual liar. Santos has no moral standards, just faking it till making it.

  18. Yeah how dare he for lying ? But Walsam and Scholts two Democrat Semators made millions from a DOWN stock market like Pelosi's husband and that's OK???

  19. I thought all politicians lied their way into the white house

  20. I ( L O V E ) THIS GUY…..! What a BRILLANT MOVE, RIGHT OUT OF THE DEMOCRAT PLAYBOOK…! In California they are learning to harvest votes and the thought of the GOP being able to cheat and steal elections is EXHILARATING…!

  21. He should be made to resign ! And I am a Red Republican ! But, wrong is wrong.
