The guy's got to go. You know he is telling a lie when you see his lips moving.
But he’s one of Americas most gifted brain surgeons. Seriously, who is the GOP to condemn a liar??
Judge Renata de Lima Machado Amaral ordered Anthony Devolder Santos arrested in Niteroí, Brazil. Please send a Portuguese speaking investigative journalist to research Santos many crimes in Brazil.check his hidden $$$ in Brazil, in Russia
Bye Fool, Thought You Knew!!
As an European and after seeing the behaviour of many/ most Republicans in the last few years I'm not used to them holding their own accountable anymore. What a pleasant surprise!
Prime example of white is right..
WOW!
Where did the money come from ?
That should not be impossible to find . .
Why haven’t the Republicans put up an online petition to get rid of him?
Liar, liar😂
Blame him not resigning on BoBo, MTG and Gaetz! They have his back.
Both those republicans are Rinos Biden Pelosi Schumer Shift and all the lying politicians Cheney Kissinger Romney Rinos .. people in glass houses should not throw stones he wants term limits ..
Georgette….
Imagine actually caring about this lol
Dispicable.
fabricating parts? Was any of it true??
He is a liar and need to resign
He just wants that $175,000 a year for life
Eney one who supports this fool…is the biggest fool ever…really lol.really….you can see he is a spy .. either russia or china that's why he mentioned ware the money didn't come from 🤔
Cave-in McCarthy will protect him and Santos will not resign. Unless these republicans join the Democrats and vote him out, then he'll be there to serve McCarthys interests.
Lying is just part of the job description. Politics is mostly lying……
He should run for President, he could keep lying about his qualifications and go all the way!
McCarthy wants to put this POS on a committee. Wtf?
House Republicans can force McCarthy to do the right thing by threatening a vote of no confidence against the speaker under the new house rules. If they really wanted to preserve the integrity of the House.
He's not even a us citizen and legally can't be in congress. Full investigation, get a birth cert
McCarthy needs all the dirty Republicans he can get and hold on to for the sake of a vote. Who really cares about the voters…. once the lever has been pulled in that voting booth; the people are stuck with a lemon.
Yes….. Santos is an embarrassment to the GOP…. but the GOP is an embarrassment in itself…
If I did that on my resume and my employer found out I would be fired and out on the street in a nanosecond.
He puts the "con" in con…gressman..
Santos should definitely serve his time along with joker 45
Hes not SANTOS,! Find out who he is. These reporters are useless.
Who is this guy!? Lock him up! He's a foreign spy. Who is he really!? Where are people who knew him in elementary school, and high school? Who knows who he really is? Nobody recognizes him as even growing up in America!
Where are his school records? He broke all kinds of laws and needs locked up now!
RESIGN? WHY IS HE NOT IN JAIL!? He assumed and ran on a fake identity!
Wonder if he is preparing a second act, that’s should he not land in prison.
republicans dont care about character anyways though.. hence Trump.. it doesnt matter if he is an awful person, it only matters that he votes for their horrible policies
What does Santos’s family think of this circus. His children have to go to school, and his wife. How embarrassing.
Politics is 95% dishonesty and 5% lies. Goes with the territory. These aren't boy and girl scouts. I judge them on what they get done. I don't care how the sausage is made.
At this point why wouldn’t he be lying about his plans to resign.
The Republican Party, the party of Reagan and Eisenhower, has become the home for CON ARTISTS-That is SAD!
Is it 142 or 142,000. And dude, get you some decent clothes. You’re giving choirboy dress a bad name.
It’s Pat !
Mr. Santos do…….do you recollect….the day you first started to lie 🤥 and…….did your parents…..realize that you were…..a compulsive liar 🤥😬. As……a Southern……man…… myself I know….what it’s like to lie 🤥…..and I love 💕 it, are you…….telling me…….your……a proud…….southern…..man who…..loves…..to lie🤥 and are…you willing to move to the South and become ….a proper Southern…..politician. If so welcome.
George Santos wants to use the 142T people he deceived as his reason he will not resign. How very subtle like the serpent in the garden of eden.
Is his name even George Santos ??
Yes give him a chance. He is the new face of the republican party. In 2024 that blue wave will be HUGE!
The main Republicans are protecting him! Even Matt Gaetz.
He’s relishing in his deceit.
Why are the reporters blinking so much 😂
