Careful with that. Criticizing Trump is going to trigger Biden Derangement Syndrome amongst the right-wingers on here.
LOL trump lied all the time, not denying that, but If you don't think our current president is also a notorious serial liar himself you are completely delusional.

Also a whopping 7 republicans out of 220 have called for his resignation openly. I wouldn't exactly call that "lots"

Media is gonna media. Let them report all they want. Hasn't made a lick of difference, he's still there and only getting more defiant. You seem like a political junkie on the other forums and frankly should know better as to why McCarthy is putting little to no pressure on him.

GOP only has a slim majority in House, they need every vote/seat they can get and as such Santos is safe on that front for time being.

If republican majority was stronger that they could afford to peel off a few seats Santos would be on first thing smoking back to NY.

Absolutely agree, and I've said that exact same thing several times before on this thread. If the GOP won big in the midterms he'd be gone. It’s easy to cut someone loose when its of no political cost to your party (ask al Franken or Andrew cuomo). Politics is war. It is what it is.

Oh no question I know why McCarthy is putting no pressure on him. Same reason he said nothing in the lead up to the Speaker vote. He has a slim majority, needs every vote he can get, knows it will be a tough seat to keep in a special election. The any one member can bring up a Speaker vote to appease the Gaetz, Boebert and Gosar crowd might have played into why he got his committees. Now of course that doesn't make it right and doesn't take away from the fact Santos should resign. Fact of the matter is we haven't seen anyone quite like Santos on either side of the aisle. A new story of his past comes out every day and it isn't the media's fault for reporting on it its Santos's fault.

Sad thing Santos has effed up any chance of GOP holding onto that seat in 2024. Selfish bas*ard that he is...

Santos is "defiant" in way some some kids or subordinates are when they believe have upper hand. As most of us know (or found out) it's never wise to push things too far; that wooden spoon or strap have remarkably long reach.

Seems the (Democratic) reporters are quite eager for him to resign. Can’t really blame the partisan press [the Daily Beast beast is notoriously leftist] given the thin margins and impending investigations in the House. Not that they’d invent stuff to stir up the faux outrage, of course.
