  He’ll run in 2024 and the GOP will back him.  
  I just hope his constituents remember in two years
context: and will do nothing about him either. >
  
  The House Ethics Committee will be considering the case. >
  
  Ahh yeah… republicans “ethics” >
  
  Yet, they still party with gaetz and Greene and boebert… >
  
  And party leadership, notably the Speaker of the House, are out there making excuses for him.
  The GOP can’t afford to lose his seat, so anyone with any power is defending Santos (assuming that’s his real name), and letting those without any power pile on to try to save face for the party.
  Stories like this perpetuate the falsehood that the party itself wants to oust Santos, but if that’s what the party wanted, they would have done so already. >
  
  
  so anyone with any power is defending Santos (assuming that’s his real name)...
  
  Maybe we could see his birth certificate for starters....if he has one that didnt come from  Staples. >
  
  I'm amazed that anybody with a brain would look at a document from 30 some odd years ago and believe it. like he's lied so many times. >
  
  “He seems to be, you know, a nice guy. I read the stuff. Obviously I'm very disappointed that there were things that he said that weren't true," said Fallon. "I did mention that to him, and he said he's more disappointed than anyone."
  FFS! These people are leading the country! >
  
  “I talked to him about it and he said hes reeeaally sorry about what he did.  I think hes learned his lesson though, so he can stay, but I told him very sternly not to do it again.” >
  
  
  "He's under fire," observed Republican Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana. "So I made it a point to shake his hand, and welcome him to Congress. I gave him my cell and told him my staff would be at his avail as he tries to stand up his office."
  “I don't know what's true and what's not true," Higgins added of Santos's fabrications. "The media lies."
  
  Ahhh yes, Santos will become a hero to the GOP simply because their distain for the media. >
  
  This is basically it. Those statements are such an encapsulation of the current situation with the GOP.
  
  "There's a lot of criticism out there, so I offered to help him through it."
  "It's impossible to tell what's true and false, so I'm just ignoring it all."
  "Anyways, it's all lies because reasons and I guess he'll still vote our way."
  "Stop asking me for any other comments and please go away." >
  
  They just need his vote and that’s it. As long as he falls in line on every vote, they’ll let him be, or else they’ll toss him. >
  
  In fact, the party power loves having somebody compromised hold the seat.  If he doesn't do what they say at any time they'll dump him.
