How did New Yorkers put him in?? Boy the republican party just gets worse and worse by the second!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!
If his own party support him means = 'ARE EQUALLY THE SAME!'. Little lies or big ones, there is no difference… That is the precise reason our country is going backwards! Just for the record I'm neither RED or BLUE just being realistic not emotional.
It is so disturbing that Santos sounds like just Sam Bankman Fried on his defense…
WHY didn’t anyone check on his background before he won?! Santos is delivering results. Nassau County is a laughing stock!!!
GOP should be renamed to Guilty Outlandish Party … fodder for the cannons just keeps on piling up. Founding Fathers are turning over in their graves for sure. Our country is a confused mess of hodgepodge politics.
Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
Excellent reporting!!
After Joseph REGURGITATE ByeDone (Biden) and Adam Schifty LIAR Schiff and Nancy PERJURY Pelosi and Up-Chuck Schumer RESIGN with their tails between their legs, while wearing Dunce Caps, then George Santos should resign, absolutely. But until then he has nothing to worry about.
… and the GQP could not be happier to have included yet another, grifter politician, in their ranks!!!
Gods Chosen are seething that a goy tricked them! 😂😂
this is the result of "trumpisum": con artists go up the ladders of political leadership, for the sole purpose of personal gain.
the gullible and politically uneducated who just hate the "establishment" without knowing exactly what is it that they hate, will fall for these cons and support them to become their leaders. and that's the downside of the democracy.
McCarthy will do nothing. Santos sent Tweet to McCarthy I will vote for you as Speaker of the House. So McCarthy an GOP will protect Santos. Can you say [Quid Pro Quo].
What's the point of swearing him in?
Yes George, you committed a criminal act of Fraud, which makes you a criminal. He Should be made to resign.
A total fraud
An elected leader lying…despicable…A politician lying…ahhh well…
Seriously a leader telling blatant lies about their education, work history, etc. Unacceptable. Should definitely resign, step down, quit…he has had plenty of examples ahead of him to follow. Prez Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Fauci, oh yea they didnt step down, quit, impeached for lying.
I say the Commander in Chief should set the right example and admit to lying and resign; then, this immoral man should follow the example set
It’s official, America has lost its moral compass a LONG time ago! On a world stage, it has no standing or standards! Do you remember last when America had power? No, no-one can! But then again, you have a lovely bunch of uneducated people voting these weirdos in! Yo get what you deserve! At the moment, Nigeria can boast better parliamentary members than a so called “super power”! And the funniest thing is, until Americans go outside their country, they don’t realise how far behind you are! And that’s a shock to their system! Your education needs to be overhauled!
So many liars hiding under the guise of bible-bashing! Good luck for the future, goodness knows your country needs it more than food and water! And shame on those who voted for him!
We know that if a democrat had done this the reds would be calling for him to be locked up!
What kind of sick person claims he had employees that died in the Pulse nightclub and tries to capitalize on the death of others???
Republican vs Democrat lying to American people. Probably 100 to 1
Santos, Trump, Walker, Johnson, Gaetz, Greene, Lake, McCarthy, on and on…
Republican fraud what's new? Typical Americans are loud mouthed drama queens so no big jump.
Absolutely Audit this fraud criminal element.
I think this shows a need for a deep dive into his campaign finance, audit needed. Democratic House time to pull tax returns NOW before 2023.
Look he lied about all this other stuff, while at the same time attacking his opponent about truth. I think this is sufficient proof that he is a liar and that he has lied about other things.. look at the loan agreement to the campaign .. at anything he has done in banking or business. If Trump has taught anything when they lie a little they lie big.
Pathological liars don't know where one lie ends and another starts. The only certainty is that there is very little truth mixed in. And the way that today's wealthiest, most corrupt and powerful individuals use groomed pawns like this unapologetic bold-faced liar to influence voters and manipulate elections is becoming reminiscent of the good old days…when eating cake and sending tyrants to the guillotine was trending.
Playing the Double standard game are We… It's okay for Joe FU Biden to lie about his education…But Ohhh no if someone else does it… It's okay for Maxine Waters you Take Money from FTX.. Ohhh that's okay… Nancy getting hits on the inside TRADING with Wall Street.. Ohhh that's okay.. Hobbs running her Own election. Ohhh that's okay. F.. Off…. Corruption..If one thinks they can do it…Their All going to do it…And They Learn From the best.. The Clinton's… Then it was Obama..Then Trump tried to clean it up… But nooo..Had to top it off With Joe FU Biden… And All the Corruption Came from a Democrack….Ohhh but there nothing here..
We elected Art Vandalley
“ I’m not some criminal who made up an entire story and ran for office“.
Only you are
Outright lies are not embellishment
