Rep.-Elect George Santos (R-N.Y.) is being investigated by the Nassau County District Attorney after admitting that he “embellished” his resume. Some House Republicans are calling for a House Ethics Committee investigation, but GOP leadership has remained quiet. “It’s just another sign of Republicans who are just not being held accountable at all by the leadership of their party and it is a disgrace,” said Democratic strategist Stephanie Schriock.

he is clearly bought and paid for by a donor and he and his backers should be tarred and feathered and rode out of town on a rail…. figuratively speaking…. kinda
I'm sure CNN would like to have him on their network.. such an excellent 👌 candidate
George Santos could be hazardous to other Congressional members of the GOP. Apparently his dishonesty has no limits!
name one republican, aside from Kinzinger and Chainey, that hasn't lied. The party of treason and dishonor.
Democrats call for George Santos to resign over “whopping lies”!
In a shocking feat of political malpractice, Santos's opponent didn't do enough oppo research to keep this clown from cakewalking into Congress. That Democrat is so incompetent that he ought to never run for office again.
Santos is an exposed liar and he should resign and be shunned by all so far as a political candidate. His lies "pale in comparison" to Biden's years and years of lying and embellishing his past achievements. Was laughable to see Democrat strategist calling out a political person for lying when she supports the biggest liar in WH history!! she should have "stayed behind the curtain"! LOL!!!!
This guy is a con artist……how could he get this far? Voters with major dose of "egg on their faces"!
Idiotic republicans would only allow this jerk to be investigated if he were first appointed to serve on the House Ethics Committee. Lying, stupidity, and corruption are the republican way.
Republican leadership is an oxymoron
He’s actually the manager at KFC
He is a GQP model politician…. He will be protected with tooth and nail.
If your mom got cancer and dies years after being at ground zero on 9-11 and you say she died on 911 is embellishment. Saying you graduated from two institutions of higher learning when you didn't even go to college is a bold face lie. One is stretching the truth, the other is straight up made up.
This story is funny & fascinating. Only a true psychopath would get caught & continue the charade.
The Man, The Myth, The LIAR!
He is a discussing human being.
Santos declared that lying is ok/accepted in USA politics…does this mean that all USA politcians are not trustworthy?….sorry YES!
Kavin McCarthy want to be speaker at all cost! Lying to the people who voted for him is a crime!
Republicans will never oust one of their own.
Elizabeth Warren: "Hold my beer."
He should ask Pocahontas how she got away with it
People of NY ….. Need to Demand for
Santos out of Representing them
Immediately !
Changing a B to a B+ is embellishing; lying about going to school at all is lying.
How many Democrats have been held accountable like Hillary, the fast a furious guys Biden and his family.
Honestly who are the clowns running the Queens Republican party that didn't do a basic background check on Santos!
The NYT figured out he was lying just by making two phone calls to the school he said he went to and the place he said he worked!
Do they not have phones at GOP headquarters or do the people in charge just not know how to use them?
So what he lied the guy won the race fair and square and should be allowed to do the job
Forget the lies ! Why are you not turning Santos over to the Brasilian prosecuters?
This is what Americans politicians have become, your country is overrated, and the world shows you no respect. FACT
Are voters that daft to be represented by a liar? Is this what American democracy is all about? Wow !!!!
What do the voters say?
