  1. GoFundMe is a total scam.only the "right"posts and people ever see a penny.most people w actual needs never see one speck of help or hope

  2. Can anyone of you libs know why trump calls "Elizabeth Warren " pocahontas ?

  3. Santos is so creepy – how can they continue to allow him to remain in Congress ? It's so absurd !

  4. Did he also steal candy from a baby (who is not named Maggie Simpson)?

  5. He embellished his resume, but he's not a fraud😂🤣😂🤣

  6. anyone that steals from a homeless vets need to be put to sleep

  7. It is people like trump and santos that have exposed how flawed or virtually nonexistent are the standards for our politicians. You need to have more morals just to work at some fast food places, and they do a better job at verifying the information provided by the people that want to work for them. We are a joke.

  8. Just another…. Republic-Con🤬

  9. This guy is a National Security risk on wheels. We a member of Congress he is bound to come across information we don't want our enemies to have and this guy has proven he values a quick payday over anything else.

  10. George Santos is the Donald Trump of politics.

  11. What a POS. He will fit right in with the MAGAt GOP.

  12. He's not a good example for the children, and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICIA AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE SHOWING THE WORLD THAT THEY DONT CARE ABOUT ETHICIAL CONDUCT IN T OUR GOVERMENT. SHOWING THE WORLD THEY DONT CARE WHO IS CORRUPT AS LONG AS THOSE FUNDS COME IN.

  13. “He’s a physcopath” lmfaooo 💀

  14. Amazing the people today's voters vote into office to run our country.

  15. He must have studied at "Trump University"…

  16. The Republican Party is happy to have one more criminal as a member. Their goal is the same: money, and power. They are busy, not for them public services, but for removing all the "anti-trump" democrats from the government and for elevating their dictatorship control.

  17. The crazy part is that society's hyperbole about politicians has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. People have casually thrown around generalizations like "they're all a bunch of crooks" for so long that, when a certifiable crook takes office, many's reaction isn't "they need to resign or be expelled", it's "well, so-and-so was a crook too" like some 5-year old justifying their bad behavior on the playground. This maddening cycle needs to end, starting with allies of the Speaker urging him to take the high road, even if it comes at a personal cost to his career.

  18. Santos with his lies are not the problem. The GOP that keeps him around in the job is.

  19. Kevin knew that George impersonated Kevin's chief pd staff even before George was elected. George's mother was not in the US when 9/11 happened. He is like Trump, getting a scam idea from what he heard of watched. He scammed $3000 from GoFundme… For the cancer dog, from which he got an idea of creating an animal charity organization, which does not exist. He was welcomed by a criminal party, naturally, because there is no other places where criminals can go to.

  20. Kevin McCarthy won’t make it by backing this dude 😂😂

  21. MAGA morons "We like him, he tells it like it is just like the greatest president in the wooorled."

  22. Maybe Santos is just hungry for a knuckle sandwich.

  23. Santos is the perfect poster boy for the Republican Party.

  24. He is the perfect republican.

  25. I’m a Republican, if Santos pulled this crap, then he can go prison! Unlike you frickin’ Democrats, we don’t back this crap! I don’t need you lies about Trump either! So don’t bother commenting, I won’t respond!

  26. Just like the repugs to keep a known liar and criminal in office, I can't wait to see that criminal party go down in flames.

  27. Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter, they all seem to do much of the same. This guy has just taken it to a whole new level of insanity. Yet there were people out there that voted for him, let that sink in for a moment.

  28. Of course he'd fake a GoFundMe and steal the cash for a dying therapy dog for a disabled vet…POS.

  29. Republicans like McCarthy, Greene, Gaetz.. are supporting George Santos.

    Republican party is absolutely corrupted and insane.

  30. Again, I don’t understand why these people didn’t show up while he was running.

  31. Trumpian Criminals will be criminals after all.

  32. Blame the New York GOP.

  33. Isn’t it about time people demand his. Orthopedic certificate? If it was cool for righties to demand it of Obama because he is black at least there is a good reason now

  34. Can America send this guy back to Brazil with Jair Bolsonaro?

  35. No new revelation is going to matter. He has no significant education either. Science and Technology. Oh ok.

  36. Can he still even get a security clearance?

  37. It’s getting weird AF.

  38. Read he also kicked a kitten

  39. Unfortunately the Constitution allows a convicted felon to be a member of Congress, even if in prison. It’s up to the Senate or House to decide who may serve. As for state offices, different laws apply in different places. Yet in some states a convicted felon cannot vote. Wtf. Mccarthy knew about Santos criminal activities but like Republicans did with ex-#45 looked the other way just to have a Republican body as a member of Congress. Mccarthy looking the other way putting Santos on two committees along with other Republican members of Congress involved in the January 6, 2021 coup attempt and insurrection so they can continue to destroy democracy from within by obstructing committees.

  40. The people making the narratives always have more power on public opinioni than the person being accused.

  41. He represent my district in congress and i want this liar out
