The whole complaint is ridiculous, no one is seriously calling this guy for “help” at this point but reporters who want interviews and democrats who want him to resign.
There is quite an overlap (!) in those last two groups you mention!

The faux outrage over Santos changed nothing although the faux hyperventilating over the election of the new Republican Speaker of the House was funny. And also changed nothing.

There are Rykers residents released from their assigned residence every day that could potentially staff his office. They have the right credentials.

His ability to fake a resume and win a seat in congress will ensure he has a golden parachute to land at one of the banks he claimed to have worked for… IMO

Gotta give the guy his props. He played the gay and hispanic card so his background wouldn't be questioned. Then throwing the white supremacist's sign when taking the oath was pure comedy gold.

He certainly is nuts, but not any worse than some of the other Congress Critters we have elected. The House is full of them.

He didn’t do it while taking the oath he did it during one of his votes for McCarthy.
