What bothers me is his stating that he never worked directly for either Citigroup or Goldman Sachs; it was just "a poor choice of words."

Wow, that's quite a lot of research, does CD go back 20 years?

The false equivalency and whataboutism is fairly astounding, Blumental and Warren is not even remotely comparable to Santos. Why is it so difficult for some republicans to just admit this is wrong and he shouldn't take office. The Silence by Kevin McCarthy is fairly telling, he needs Santos, who cares if he lied.

Marjorie Taylor Greene now defending Santos, saying he should be given a chance.

Between this and the Freedom Caucus Crazies McCarthy must be asking himself why he wants to be speaker.

example of why it is a waste of time and effort for the opposition to out a guy like this. Because you would have said the exact same thing if they had.

And if any of it were proven accurate you guys would weave some sort of conspiracy theory, call it a hoax or a witch hunt.

The guy is Catholic but McCarthy put him in the 'Jewish' group of Republicans voted in last November.

Nassau County district attorney opens investigation into Rep.-elect George Santos
District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly said residents “must have an honest and accountable representative”

“No one is above the law, and if a crime was committed in this county, we will prosecute it,” said Ms. Donnelly, a Republican, in a statement that was first reported by Newsday.

Interesting that this story didn't break until AFTER he was declared a winner.

And it is coming out that Republican leaders that he was embellishing his resume and they refused to address it.

Left or right -- if you are elected on false information like this -- there should be some recourse.

There is, but it creates both a legal fight and an ethical one and a national one if we are honest.

The last time a House or Senate seat was contested was 2020, and Dems allowed a Republican to be seated even though they got less votes because they know seating the Democrat(Rita Hart) would start a political fire storm.

If McCarthy doesnt seat Santos, and allows Hochul to then hold a special election, then republicans could then pull the Kari Lake card any time they believe a Dem to have lied or anything along those lines.

He may have funded his campaign illegally, Gabbard was weak in the interview regarding how he was able to fund his campaign for $700K.

Of course. The political persecutions of the Biden regime/junta never end. We are no better than a third world dictatorship with this clown in charge.
