  Al franken resigned over a shitty sexist joke while not in office. Santos will be given committee assignments by republicans.
context: Oh wow, this bit in the article might actually be the most messed up thing I've heard about Santos so far:
  
  “I really don’t care about material stuff, but he stole something that really had sentimental value to me,” Morey-Parker told The Daily Beast, in reference to a scarf he says Santos purloined and later wore to a “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, D.C.
  “I had tried to kill myself, and my friend gave me that scarf and hat, and she was like, ‘Now you have something physical to touch and know people love you,’” Morey-Parker said, adding that he had texted Santos while in treatment, and that Santos had known about the gift’s significance. “Watching him wear that scarf that means quite a lot to me just pisses me the fuck off.” >
  
  Hmm, purposely stealing an emotional support object from a suicidal person vs stealing the money from a fund for a homeless veteran's dying dog. It's really a toss up for which is the more reprehensible behavior. >
  
  It's the dog.  The scarf could be attributed to some personal vendetta or maybe he's just an unthoughtful asshole who forgot about the items significance despite being told.  I don't believe this, in fact, I think he probably took it because of its importance.
  But the dog thing no way to spin that.  And it's like a card game where your like that many modifiers? Dog, homeless, charity, vet, and cancer holy cow that's a lot. >
  
  How did he gain citizenship again? >
  
  I’m going to guess that he might of lied about something. >
  
  Might have. Written as a contraction, it's might've. >
  
  This seems to be a common grammar ( or typing ) error. It's a pet peeve and I appreciate you calling it! >
  
  You're both fucking annoying. >
  
  Writer at The Onion: "God fucking dammit, not again!"  Angrily crumples paper >
  
  The Onion: George Santos tells the truth in shocking interview >
  
  (☝˘▾˘)☝ here is a headline that can't ever be confused for news. >
  
  Ah, but if a Santos told a truth in a forest of lies, would anyone believe it? >
  
  I guarantee that the prior marriage was 100% fraudulent. USCIS should take a hard look at any visa petitions that were filed. >
  
  absolutely sham green-card marriage. the GOP should be pissed. revoke his citizenship and send him back to Brazil where he's a wanted man. >
  
  He's US-born. His citizenship can't be revoked, and he can't be deported.
  That's how it stands right now -- if he releases his (actual) birth certificate and it shows he was not born here, then I'll take it back. But the lack of immigration records makes me think he was US-born. >
  
  
  He's US-born.
  
  Was he? Why would you believe that? 
  
  But the lack of immigration records makes me think he was US-born.
  
  That's some bad faith bullshit. The only person who can publicize those records is Santos himself. >
  
  I don't believe it's up to Santos to provide those records. >
  
  It would be a breach of privacy for Immigration to provide any personal information like that. >
  
  FFS. Read your own source dude. 
  Literally says that you can only apply for your own data or for the data of those who give you written permission to access their records. 
  Why link to things you don't read? Dishonesty? >
  
  
  I'm not a dude, nor is it the 1980s. 
  I did read it. 
  What's keeping someone from getting permission from someone else? You think they're asking for notarized affidavits? 
  
  I'm really tired of hearing about George Santos. >
  
  Ok bro >
  
  This guy is a fucking cartoon character at this point. >
  
  A cartoon character with real congressional committee assignments. >
  
  I mean seriously who the hell is this guy and how many effed up stories are there about him? >
  
  I wonder if George Santos is even his real name lmao dude has more aliases than an actual bona fide spy. Regardless, he has either lived a roller coaster of a life and/or somehow is among the biggest pathological liars our species has EVER conjured up! >
  
  At this stage “pathological liar” and “republican” are synonyms. >
  
  I wouldn't be surprised to find out the woman was just Santos in drag. >
  
  The fabulous Kitara Ravache >
  
  I never wish for someone to break the law, but I do hope he has previously committed offenses that will be prosecuted. Let him spread his lies for everyone in his cell block. >
  
  “Good evening everyone! As you all may already know Pedro and I have decided to join our toothbrushes! Lol and a very few friends have been selected to share this special moment with us!” Santos wrote in a 2014 Facebook “engagement dinner” invitation. >
  
  He's mormon-ish, but with a sister-wife and a brother-husband. >
  
  ...and a very, very special dog.   /s >
  
  puts cash into pocket
  Hmm? >
  
  How can anyone be gay and also be a Reagan Rupublican. Reagan practically committed Genocide gay men. >
  
  How many mooches have we heard of this guy being unfit but no article on any consequence? >
  
  They’re setting the bar to a new low so going forward they can place anyone that can get the votes in office with absolutely no concern for the skeletons in their closets. Rape allegations? That’s so 2016, the left won’t even bother raising an objection when they hear giggles coming from the next gop candidate’s trench-coat. >
  
  I think they might be trending toward getting an inanimate object voted into office. >
  
  "Say hello to your new state representative, a framed painting of White Jesus holding an AK.  PS gay bars are now illegal." >
  
  Was the wife dying in the hospital? Cuz if so that’s just Republican male SOP >
  
  
  Vilarva, who has described his relationship with Santos in previous interviews, told The Daily Beast the engagement party “never happened” because he rejected Santos’ proposals.
  “He asked me 3x but I didn’t accept it,” Vilarva wrote in a text. “There was never a party [or] anything in regards to it.”
  
  Three time loser. >
  
  Man, I really wish this dude wasn’t politics related. Ffs >
  
  Then maybe hook him up with a CEO job. Then it will just be r/news >
  
  This guy is wilder than a Chuck Norris meme >
  
  I was just thinking of Chuck Norris memes, haha >
  
  I am convinced that George Santos is secretly Carlos Mencia. >
  
  He’s an experiment of how easily it’d be to get someone elected by being backed with enough dark money and following the grift script. 110% a spy/foreign asset. >
  
  Perfect fit for the Republican Party... lying will always get you ahead >
  
  I’m exhausted with trying to keep up. How is he not? >
  
  This just in: George Santos was never married and his “ex-wife” doesn’t even exist. >
  
  What even is his life >
  
  He’s the living personification of all their fears, but he’s on their side. Shakespeare couldn’t write shit this good! >
  
  They’re gonna be able to remake Catch me if you can but it’s about this guy this time >
  
  our government infiltrated by a fraud and nothing happened of it. >
  
  This man’s propping the entire media up with his bs >
  
  Just keeps getting better and better >
  
  It’s hilarious to think that there are people right now  hearing about this who have voted for him. >
  
  I’m still dumbfounded on how the Dems missed all this dirt on him during the election?? >
  
  Allegedly, there were some people (Dems or Reps) who had done oppo research on him and tried going public with The Times before the election. However, the Times refused because they don’t cover local news, and they thought he wouldn’t win. >
  
  I find it hard to believe that they didn’t think he wouldn’t win. All we heard for months leading up to the election was the “Red Wave”, so they definitely had reason to take every race seriously. >
  
  Okay people have been calling him a conman. But he is literally a conman isn't he? Like professionally >
  
  he did con a veteran out of $3000 he raised on gofundme to supposedly aid he dying dog so, yeah, conman seems to fit. 
  He conned his district into electing a fake and a phoney. >
  
  Why is there a new story about this guy everyday?? >
  
  It seems that he's spewing bullshit every day, so the press is scrambling to keep up with him. >
  
  What’s is this person, this person really got elected is more of a crook than trump. >
  
  All I can think of when I read all these stories about Santos's lies are: Why did this all come out AFTER the election? Where were the reporters? Wasn't there any opposition research? >
  
  There was. His opponents HAD the opposition research and tried going public with the Times. The Times refused on the basis of “we don’t cover local news” and due to the fact they didn’t think he would win. No one thought he would win. The reporters and media really dropped the ball on this guy. >
  
  Sheesh! >
  
  When I see the George Santos scandals, I think that I am legitimately in a reality show like the Truman show. The only reason I know I'm in reality is because not even a convoluted writer could make this shit up. >
  
  This fucking guy. >
  
  What kind of utter sociopath has a life full of so much deceit and lies and thinks they can enter the career sector with the most thorough public scrutiny. >
  
  Thing is Santos will likely face no consequences for his lies and theft. >
  
  Just your all-around swell guy.  Why did it take the Repubs so long to find him? >
  
  GOP fussed about "defending" marriage still? >
  
  Do… do you think he’s gay? 🧐 >
  
  He’s such a perfect Republican! They are all fucking train wrecks! >
  
  I’m starting to think that guy isn’t the most honest. >
  
  It's fucking disgusting how much air this person is sucking up, all this talk about a random GOP stooge put in place to distract the nation from the actual harm the GOP is doing with the house majority, gutting the ethics organization, proposing cuts to Medicare and medicaid. Fucking monsters, fuck the GQP and anyone still aligned with this "party". >
  
  I can’t tell if this guy is real life or not. And apparently neither can he. >
  
  At some point George Santos will be revealed to be a gaggle of weasels in a human suit masquerading as a person, they never expected to get this far. >
  
  vote for Pedro >
  
  This guy is so gay, he also has a blue check mark on Grindr. >
  
  Someone watched Bill Maher. >
  
  I guess you really can have it all >
  
  Wait. He was married? To a woman? >
  
  This dude took failing up too far >
  
  Okay…now I am kinda interested in seeing the documentary on this goddamn maniac 😂 >
  
  You mean the renowned mathematician George Santos who did groundbreaking work with imaginary numbers? >
  
  The (un)Talented Mr. Ripley is an unending source of deliciously ridiculous behavior. Where is Dickie Grenleaf!?! >
  
  This dude is so fuckin funny >
  
  After the 90 days "Partay" ... >
  
  There should be a tv show about him called the incredible adventures of George Santos. The dude has lived a life. >
  
  The fuckFace Republican shitHead. 🤮🤮🤮 >
  
  This is just peak Republican.
