He absolutely can still be found civilly liable for defrauding his constituents regardless of whether his activity was criminal. Please educate yourself before posting.
Over half of NY republicans are cool with this >

49% said he should step down; 26% said he shouldn't; that'd leave the other 25% in the undecided/no opinion category, as I understand it. >


that'd leave the other 25% in the undecided/no opinion category

Which for the GOP means “onboard with the majority” >

To be fair it means that for everyone. >

In other words, a majority of NY Republicans apparently don't care that this guy is a complete fraud. >

Based on the article, I get the impression that 25% are undecided?

If they are undecided at this point, given the flood of proven lies, then the lies are not a deal breaker apparently. Their unwillingness to take a firm stand against him with so much public info out there is a willful ignorance at best. >


The Siena College Research Institute poll, published on Monday, found that 49 percent of Republican respondents said that Santos should resign from his position, while 26 percent said the first-term lawmaker shouldn’t step down. 

I mean, he should step down, but then, when has the party of personal responsibility ever taken personal responsibility? They're all spineless. Hell, McCarthy even gave him Committee seats. >

And, McCarthy fund-raised for him. The Republican Party is 100% responsible for him. And, they do not care. >

They only care he got caught >

Why haven't the citizens in his district filed a class action lawsuit for fraud? Are they not allowed? >

They are not allowed to sue, because what he did is not illegal. >

I'm talking about civil suit, not criminal.
And isn't fraud a crime anyway? >

Not in a political office. 100 percent legal to lie. That’s a fact!
