They have an ethics committee?
ALL politicians, both democrat and republican lie to get elected. Obviously not to his extent. 
It’s honestly the failures of the democratic party, the dnc, and the dccc. The opposition research is supposed to happen DURING a campaign, not a month and a half after the election is over. The only thing his democratic opponent attacked him on were a few pro trump statements. It’s a shame because it was a very winnable district for democrats. They definitely dropped the ball on this one. 
As far as having a way to remove someone for lying to get elected? There is a way, which is for his constituents to vote him out. His constituents voted him in an removing him any other way is unconstitutional and overturns the will of the people in his district. >

The information was literally published by the North Shore Leader weeks before the election. Democrats did nothing with it, and Republicans didn't care.
"His constituents voted him in an removing him any other way is unconstitutional and overturns the will of the people in his district."
It's not unconstitutional- he can be expelled from Congress. >

And it’s 100% democrats fault for choosing to do nothing with the information. Again, democrats blew it. No denying that. >

It's not 100% their fault. Yes, they deserve plenty of blame, but so does every single Republican who supported the guy and voted for him. >

Your average voter had no way to know that literally every part of this guy's history was literally spun from whole cloth.  They voted based on what they believed would be best for them with the information provided.  
The Republicans that deserve blame for supporting the guy and voting for him are the ones that did so while fully knowing this guy was completely full of shit, and the ones who continue to either support him or stay silent even after he has been exposed. >

"Your average voter had no way to know that literally every part of this guy's history was literally spun from whole cloth."
Yes, they did. It was published in the Leader which people do, in fact, read, and was available on Google searches.
"They voted based on what they believed would be best for them with the information provided."
Everyone I know in the 3rd District who voted for Santos calls Democrats "communists" and literally the only thing they care about is lower taxes (despite choosing to live in areas with some of the highest property taxes in the state) so if that's their definition of "best for them" then sure. >

Ah, the Ethics Committee...where ethics investigations go to die. >

Because 95% of congress is unethical. >

TIL some Republicans are aware of the existence of Ethics. >

Personally I think they are all aware of ethics, but put an extraordinary amount of effort into avoiding them >

Yeah, saying they are dumb is giving them a pass, I agree with you. >

You know, they can be dumb, evil, and unethical all at the same time. It’s their one talent. >

It’s all a dog and pony show. Republicans need Santos for the vote for speaker of the house they won’t abandon him. >

I know this guy is a bullshitter but does he actually have the balls to start this with this new term? Imagine that you’re about to start a new job and hundreds of your coworkers already hate you and want you out for being a pathological liar. So embarrassing. He needs Republicans to support him, and I’m not sure they will. >

The guy lied his way into Congress. You think he cares what anyone else thinks about him? >

No, no, he only ever claimed that anything he was saying was true-ish >

The goal of the Ethics Committee is find no wrongdoing by a member regardless of party. Unless its so egregious that they have to say something, which recommended punishment is usually a fine, strip of committee or recommendation to resign. The reason Republicans would want him to go before the ethics committee is to delay the eventual outcome after the House Speakership vote. >

How about we don’t seat this person ! >

Happy Cake Day! >

What are they on about? A lack of ethics is what makes this guy a Republican. Come on now. >

I love this, some republicans.  Why not all?  Where is the outage over this liar?  It's not fabrication, it's out and out lying about everything.   He's just another GOP Fraudster. >


Where is all the outrage over this liar?

With such a thin majority there will be none. >

Dude went above and beyond the normal lies one tells to get elected. They need to be removed or not seated, or whatever. Just go away >

Make some calls, says it's frowned upon, act like they're against it but they'll still push him through as Qevin needs his vote. >

Investigate what? Everyone already knows the guy is a fraud. >

And next month he’s going to be the “Right Honorable Representative” of NY3. He’ll get his 176K/yr job, platinum healthcare plan, full pension… even if he gets charged with something, found guilty and goes to jail… he still gets all that because the voters in NY3 couldn’t be bothered to vet this guy. His bullshit was out there, but only picked up by a small local paper. His opponent brought it up in the debate, but was ignored. This is all on the voters in NY3. They screwed the pooch on this. >


He’ll get his 176K/yr job, platinum healthcare plan, full pension…

He won't get full pension.
"According to Politifact.com, a three-term congressman would be eligible for $17,588 after six years of work upon reaching retirement age."
So he won't even get his pension, however much that will be, until retirement age. >

and what do you get for not showing up to any, even a single day, of work???? >

All I was trying to point out was that he won't get a full pension. >

I bet he’s not even gay. >

His wife says he’s not. >

I also blame the people in the 3rd district for voting for this person...it just reinforces the gullibleness of republicans... So Sad... >

It should be a crime to lie about your entire background as a candidate for public office. It should also serve as a wake up call that every candidate needs to be thoroughly vetted by the media. >

As they should. >

Why are we still beating this dead horse. The Republicans have been investigated for ethics countless times.  None have ever been found. >

PSA: don’t eat lead paint chips >

Show me just one example where Republicans were found to have ethics!  Just one! >

Weird hair with no sideburns, caked on makeup, creepy smile. He looks like a scary marionette doll or a mannequin. >

Or a Trump wannabe. >

He did have Trump signs in his office so there you have it >

“Some” and the majority don’t give a fuck so nothing will happen. George Santos is the perfect representative of what the GOP has become. >

“Some”, that’s a problem >

Yeah you can’t be yelling about corruption on the Dem side and let this kind of crap just slide when it’s on the GOP side. >

Let me guess; it's the Republicans who lost their seats in 2022... >

And their strategy didn't work in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The streak continues. >

Countdown till the ethics investigation is on the wrong side of this. >

The ethics committee is a fucking joke. Has anyone ever suffered real consequences from one of their investigations? >

I’m going to run as a republican and then fuck off and do nothing, then vote socialist policies in wherever I can. Good way to make money. >

Why wasn't this dude vetted before the election?
Why weren't his claims fact checked?
How did he get this far spewing all this bullshit? >

Because the public allows Republicans to act this way. >

The Santos grenade pin has been pulled. This is going to blow up big time and the question will be is if it goes off before or after he is in Congress. If it is when he is officially in Congress, the damage to the GOP will be immense. 
That is why this is so amazing to watch. Everyone knows this is just going to get bigger and bigger and when it goes off the damage will be unreal. Currently the grenade is rolling to the GOP leadership. Smart leadership would shut the door and try and limit exposure, but it looks like they are ready for it to go off inside their....House. >

This would require the GOP to have ethics >

Expertly tossed his credentials word salad, not 😂
