  He couldn't stand the heat and got out of the kitchen.  Next step is to get him out of the house.
context: "Santos announces he is stepping down the Science, Space and Technology Committee due to a conflict of interest, as he invented NASA." >
  
  And stepping down from small business due to him having a small business 🥕 >
  
  I would hardly consider Amazon, the company Santos is best known for having found, a small business. >
  
  He actually clarified later that he was referring to the Amazon rainforest. He is from Brazil, after all. >
  
  
  Santos, who has admitted to fabricating key parts of his background since his election in November, said he would remove himself from his assignments on the House Small Business Committee and the Science, Space and Technology Committee, in a closed-door meeting of House Republicans on Tuesday.
  Santos told the meeting he will step down because “he’s a distraction,” according to a Republican lawmaker who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private meeting. >
  
  Just from the committees. He and the GOP would never give up his seat voluntarily. He'll have to be indicted (and maybe convicted) before that happens. >
  
  He's staying on until 2024, GOP know if he steps down from his seat that it'll get filled by a Democrat. Recent poll found 3/4 registered voters in his district want him gone. >
  
  That doesn't make them Democrats now. It's still a republican district, they just see he's a bullshiter. >
  
  It’s historically been a dem district that they flipped. Another reason they don’t want a special election because a dem would probably win after all this malarkey >
  
  Getting a paycheck from the government to do nothing. It's everything George was hoping for. >
  
  Bet he had his fingers crossed when he told them. >
  
  now let's do MTG and Gym >
  
  And bobble head Boebert >
  
  forgive my ignorance, but don't tell me Bobo Head is on committee too..? >
  
  It's the reign of King Kev where stupid is elevated and grievances are currency.
  Yes. She got herself put on the oversight committee and natural resources committee.
  Oversight was a primary goal of the sedition caucus in getting McCarthy elected >
  
  Well that's something, at least.  Now keep on steppin, Mr Santos. Or is it Mr Devolder, or Mr Zabrovsky, or Ms Ravache. Whatever. GTFO. >
  
  When George Santos, a pathological liar, has more integrity than McCarthy.
  GG Gop. >
  
  I wouldn't bank on integrity from him.  He seems to be more engaged running from journalists or bribing them with baked goods. I am guessing he just doesn't want to work, and this is a good excuse. >
  
  If this is accurate, I am thinking that certain Republicans “suggested” it to him because of the too obvious hypocrisy >
  
  Why the fuck was he put on any in the first place? >
  
  The fact that he was seated on any committee says all you need to know about Kevin McCarthy. >
  
  I bet he was asked to and allowed to step down to save some level of dignity (He has none!). >
  
  Apparently nothing left in his closet. >
  
  Seems like a fantastic deal for Santos. He will keep his seat (along with the Congressional paycheck) and have even less work to do. >
  
  Well that is one way to hide from reporters, so, he is pouting in his bedroom about the mean adults!
