There is already a law like this in Oregon that makes it illegal to make false statements on a candidate's campaign literature about one's accomplishments (degrees, jobs, service, etc.).  There should be one in every state.
I learned today that Santos stated he had brain cancer. If this is true, sorry for him but if this is not true (which I'm leaning towards given the current lies), HOLY FUCKING SHIT. The guy isn't just a liar but has no empathy for those that suffer from cancer. >

Dude is most assuredly not well.  His lying is so blatant that it has to be pathological, he needs treatment... right after his lying ass is kicked to the curb. >

So how many full terms is he gonna serve? Reminder that MTG still has a job. >

I believe his district leans slightly blue as opposed to MTG’s which has a multi digit Republican tilt
He likely wouldn’t have won had the NY Democrats not shit the bed this year >

His campaign lies are the least of the issues.
Someone want to explain how this ponzi scheming bottom feeder who kept getting evicted for not paying rent suddenly raked in millions right before being propped up as a member of Congress?
And no...  I won't take his word for it. >

Almost like he was picked for some arbitrary reason and groomed for the position by a party who's quite frankly running out of sane candidates to run, and really just need predictable votes in the seat. >

The reason being he’s gay and conservative. Their first one!! Well second. >

Is he even actually gay? >

I’ve been wondering that myself >


"BIG NEWS: I am introducing a bill to require candidate to disclose under oath their employment, educational, & military history so we can punish candidates who lie to voters about their qualifications," he wrote. "It will be called the Stop Another Non-Truthful Office Seeker (SANTOS) ACT."
“George Santos pretended to be a Ukrainian, Belgium, Brazilian, Catholic, Jew, whose mother died twice — including in 9/11, whose ancestors survived the Holocaust and whose employees died in the Pulse mass shooting and who became a millionaire overnight,” Mr Torres toldThe New York Post. “It’s absurd. It would be laughable, if it weren’t so serious.”

You've got to work HARD to get an ethics bill named after you BEFORE you even start your first term in the House!
This would also affect asshats like Majewski in Ohio who pretended he was special forces. >

This is great, but we should extend it to everything congress does. It would be cool if we made lies on the floor of the house and senate equivalent to perjury. >

Yes, Please! >

Watch Republicans start spouting off about how this is cancel culture, slippery slope, blah blah blah >

They don't need to say anything they will have the house very shortly and can just make this disappear. >

There's no way that what Santos did should be legal. We need this law yesterday. >

Trump lied just as much! >

Hence, we need this law yesterday >

God, I do love a good backronym. >

It really is cleverly done. >

I have to imagine there is some office in Washington where Congresscritters go with their bills to get a good acronym-friendly title. English Majors need to eat to, y'know!
