  Someone needs to define "fraud" to this fuckhead. And I'm sure the people who voted for him are like, "But...but..."
context: Lied about his education, lied about his work history, lied about a Jewish heritage, lied about employees being killed at pulse shooting, lied about being gay, lied about his companies business, lied about being a criminal. There is nothing about this guy that isn't made up. If you can't claim a made up person isn't fraud I don't know the definition of the word. >
  
  After Trump, the word ‘fraud’ has no meaning. >
  
  Yeah, that's the infuriating thing about the Trump presidency. It's like words don't mean anything >
  
  That issue is much older than trump 
  "Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

  “I’m not a fraud.  I only fabricated my employment history, education, and religious affiliation to win votes.  Oh, and I committed bank fraud.  But I am absolutely, positively, not a fraud.” >
  
  At this point, I'm not sure I'd believe him if he said he's human. >
  
  Says one fraud to the other, is that it? Good lord, irony is dead. >
  
  The GOP killed irony back in the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth days. >
  
  “Fuck those bourgeois leftist elitists and their truth telling. It’s really all their fault I had to lie to cover up that I’m just a job hopper who couldn’t even last a full year as a customer service rep.” 
  
  Santos, basically >
  
  “I had to lie about how incompetent I am so people would finally give me a chance to show them what I’m really made of!” >
  
  The GOP is the party of lying narcissistic psychopaths.  They’ve normalized this behavior. >
  
  Tulsi gave the interview and ripped him for being a liar and a fraud. IDK is she GOP? >
  
  GOP-ish. >
  
  Right outta the Trump playbook.
  Believe what I say and not as I do. >
  
  and someone will say that about Biden. Recall when Biden got in trouble for saying hi uncle was a coal miner? and went on late night saying "yeah, I'd try all that crap"   
  George Santos isn't about Trump or Biden. That team mentality is why nothing ever changes. >
  
  No.  Biden is not a liar like Trump.  Why are you defending Trump here.  No prez has attempted to overthrow the us gov based on a lie like prez Trump.  Thats just not in question. >
  
  If someone is caught lying on their resume or about their qualifications, they get fired from their job. Why does this clown think he's any different? This guy is straight up setting precedent that politicians can lie, and if they get elected, get to keep the job.
  And the whole "I never claimed to be Jewish, I joked with colleagues about being Jew-ish" is just...wow. >
  
  It the flaw in our system. Since they are elected they cannot be fired for that. Total BS >
  
  I’m watching this from Australia with jaw dropping disbelief. Surely there is some legal requirement that would force him to stand down. >
  
  Nope, he’s elected not hired. Only the people can recall him with a vote >
  
  Recall elections aren't a thing for federal positions. It's up to the House to decide he isn't qualified. >
  
  Article 1, Section 5 is the governing part of the Constitution. They need 2/3 of the House to vote to kick him— that sadly isn’t going to happen with how much Republicans circle their wagons when under threat. >
  
  “Trust me.  I have lied about every other time I opened my mouth, but I am totally not lying now.” >
  
  Interviewer : You lied about X,YZ. 
  George: "I agree with everything you said, but we can debate my resume another time" >
  
  Define fraud then?...
  Define fake?
  Because by any definition most people have he certainly is both. >
  
  He claimed he's not a fraud and not a fake and that what he did was completely acceptable because he was simply embellishing which according to him is whate everyone does. And he did it because of he didn't then the evil main stream media would essentially call him a nobody bum so he had to embellish his past so they would do this. He was trying to beat the evil lame stream media with their own tricks....
  Yeah no for real tho that's what he said >
  
  Republicans take pride in lying while speaking to the media. Put him on the stand in a court of law, his story would change to “I plead the fifth.” >
  
  Probably didn’t listen to the interview with a “Republicans” call him out >
  
  The ol' sorry, not sorry... >
  
  So he did his mea culpa on that other fake artists program. Time to move on. The republicans love liars and cheats so he can go right back to business. >
  
  Did you watch the interview? Sure he tries his mea culpa. She quoted his public "I am Jewish" statement and calls it "a blatant lie and embellishment". >
  
  Isn’t Fox currently in hot water for spreading known lies for a different guy? And maybe some Lady in AZ? I’m not sure if this is a good time to take on a 1st year lying Representative. >
  
  Watch the interview. Seem like he thought he'd get kiddy gloves, but got knocked out. They called him a "blatant liar" >
  
  And it means nothing in the end. They get to hold him n the interview up as some kind of proof they call out their side but there are no real consequences for him or the party that backed him. Performative bullshit. >
  
  He’s an elected official. The people have to vote him out… what the heck can a talk show do other than expose him >
  
  Mate, your all excited about him being called a blatant liar by a party shill.  Everyone already knows. But watch it on tucker, they called him out! So what.. >
  
  Sure, Jan >
  
  Mutual idiot appreciation society. >
  
  This is all the reprimand he will get. They rubbed the puppy’s nose in it and now the GOP will move on as if it’s been fully dealt with. >
  
  Hmmm interesting, not a fraud you say?
  Lets look at the definition of fraud:
  “all multifarious means which human ingenuity can devise, and which are resorted to by one individual to get an advantage over another by false suggestions or suppression of the truth. It includes all surprise, trick, cunning or dissembling, and any unfair way by which another is cheated.”  
  You sold a lie to voters of who you were. You lied egregiously in so many ways that made voters believe you were fit for the responsibility of being in Congress. By lying, you took the seat from someone more deserving. Moreover, what about the donors that contributed money based on the who they thought you were? Isn’t that fraud?
  Oh yeah and theres reports that you also may have committed check and elder fraud in Brazil. So yeah… theres that.
  It’s time to realize that our society is slowly becoming a Kakistocracy. >
  
  
  FRAUD, n. The life of commerce, the soul of religion, the bait of courtship and the basis of political power >
  
  "I'm not a fraud, just nothing about me is real."
  He said. Without pause. >
  
  No need to adlib. *gets called a liar* "I agree with everything you said, but we can discuss my resume some other time" >
  
  Literally a fraud. >
  
  Note to self: if you want to get elected to congress, lie about everything. >
  
  He thinks he can explain it away by saying “I made a mistake.  I’m human.”  But it wasn’t a mistake.  He did it on purpose, and he got caught.  That’s not a mistake.  That’s called lying. >
  
  He went on a conservative show and got ripped apart. Ds and Rs need to stay on top of this blatant liar. >
  
  In case you still took Glenn Greenwald for a journalist, George Santos is all the evidence you need to disabuse yourself of that fantasy. >
  
  You should watch the Tulsi George interview. He is such a fraud. >
  
  It's pretty safe to say that if you're addressing anything on Tucker Carlson your probably a lying douche bag >
  
  The fact that he went on the Tucker  Carlson show says all you need to know. >
  
  “Just fraud-ish.” >
  
  You gotta love that George went on Tucker Carlson’s show, which famously had their lawyers tell a judge that reasonable viewers would know that what they’re watching doesn’t consist of “actual facts.” >
  
  He was invited to be on.... >
  
  Game, as they say, recognizes game.
  It's a pity their game is "Lie, with real consequences to American lives." >
  
  He’s fraud-ish >
  
  The very definition of a fraud. If I lied on my resume to get a job, sure as shit they would rescind the offer or fire me immediately upon finding out. >
  
  “Santos said his work history was “debatable” and “not false at all” but said the explanation would go “way over the American people’s head.””
  Or “I’m not a fraud. You’re just too simple-minded to understand that.” WTF? >
  
  And MAGA voters won't care because they've now devoted 6+ years of their life hero worshipping a guy who spit in their face, called and treated them like idiots, stole from them, etc. They like the abuse. It's practically a fetish at this point. >
  
  Narrator: He's a fraud... >
  
  Does New York not have recall petitions?  It's fairly annoying how some people out here in California keep trying to use them ad infinitum to get Newsom or any local DA they don't like recalled, but I do appreciate having the option just in case for this kind of situation.
  Edit: Hm, those might not apply to a federal office such as this, now that I think of it. [looks it up] ...yep >
  
  Newyorkers, get him out! >
  
  “Santos said his work history was “debatable” and “not false at all” but said the explanation would go “way over the American people’s head.””
  “I didn’t lie, you plebs are just too stupid to understand” - seriously, how are his constituents, which seem to be swing voters for a big part, not on the streets and demanding his resignation? >
  
  Because they voted for a Republican, and most “swing voters” are stupid AF. It’s why they are “undecided” when all evidence shows that the Democrats— despite their flaws— are the only rational choice for voting today unless you are a billionaire/multi-millionaire. >
  
  Of course he's not a fraud.  He's just an honest man who had countless lapses in judgement, each of which led him to commit an isolated act of fraud. >
  
  Of course? The link and video is 10 minutes of him getting ripped >
  
  I know sarcasm is not always obvious on the Internet, but come on. >
  
  Damn, way back when, I thought Tulsi might be a decent choice for Biden as VP. Geez...she's hosting Carlsons show? >
  
  Tucker been assigned to make sure no conservative is allowed to question this guy again unless you’re a dirty lib >
  
  That may be why they got "definitely not a conservative, honest" Tulsi Gabbard to do the interview. That way anyone who wants to dismiss it has the perfect excuse, and Fox can pretend to be "fair and balanced." >
  
  Except that you are >
  
  Fraud. A person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.
  "mediums exposed as tricksters and frauds" He literally fits the definition of the word lmao. >
  
  Did I hear him say he identifies as a Jew in the Tulsi interview?  That he is Jew...ish. (like someone would say the wall is green..ish) Dude is an idiot lol. >
  
  Made me think of this…
  Jon Lovitz- Liar >
  
  And my wife..ahhh.ahhh....Morgan Fairchild.. yeah that's the ticket.... >
  
  Nearly everything you said was a lie.  What?  We're supposed to think you're the second coming of Christ? >
  
  He’s lost ALL credibility. >
  
  His “life story” is the literal definition of fraud >
  
  Republicans you can trust!!! >
  
  Literally electoral fraud, an act which some Republicans claimed should be a capital offense >
  
  I'm not a fraud,  I'm fraud-ish! >
  
  It's not fraud when they do it. It's saying whatever they need to say to get power to own the libs & punch down on POC.
  /s >
  
  Fraud-ish. >
  
  Goes with   
  Nixon's "I'm not a crook"   
  and Clinton's 
   "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky".  
  America... >
  
  
  "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky". 
  
  immediately before this Starr defined "sexual relations" as PiV sex >
  
  This whole thing reeks of PPP malfeasance. >
  
  He’s eminently qualified to be the next Speaker of the House. Can I get a second? >
  
  The guy is scum, but I'm surprised his opponent in the election didn't do a little research. >
  
  acts like a duck, sounds like a duck...wtf....its duck...he is 100% a fraud, liar and PERFECT republican with those attributes >
  
  I need this guy to be gone from the scene as quickly as possible. >
  
  Both >
  
  And I am the real pope! >
  
  “I’m not everything that a clear review of the facts show me to be. Trust me.” >
  
  Republicans are okay with lying.  Their beef with this guy is that he got caught red handed. >
  
  Are his constituents still enamored with him? >
  
  Does he know the definition of Fraud?  Of course not. .no education! >
  
  Does he not know what the word fraud means??? >
  
  We may believe that this episode is the peak for how Republicans conduct themselves. I suggest that George Santos has now opened the flood gates. Resumes will be completely fabricated, the GOP will fund their campaign, and conservatives will happily consume their lies. Nothing to see here folks. Move along. >
  
  liar goes to a liar to talk about how he didn't lie, obviously a lie >
  
  He should just own it and be proud. That's the new GOP way. Then just call the left suckers. Smh. The Trump deceit snowball effect. >
  
  Typical fraud saying >
  
  Oh, well, if he said it on Ticker Carlson it HAS to be true. /s 🤣 >
  
  What, then, Mr Santos, do you call a person who cashes a check that does not belong to him, falsely claimed he once worked at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup and graduated from Baruch College? Let's just call a spade a spade, mister. >
  
  If I lied on my resume I would be fired.  Why is there no way to fire him? >
  
  Fraudie McFraud-face >
  
  Um, yes you are. >
  
  Soo... he didn't address them then? >
  
  Did his jowls shake while he said that, a la Nixon? >
  
  He had to go to his safe space huh…. >
  
  “the fact that I made up a false persona and embellished it with exaggerated details and manufactured deeds along with my fabricated background doesn’t make me a liar…..trust me this would just go over your head” >
  
  A fraud on a fraudulent broadcasters show claiming the he is not a fraud. Let me wrap my head around why this is news. The GOP is Fraud, Inc. >
  
  Even Carlson looks more honest by comparison. >
  
  Anyone remember,  "I am not a crook"?
  Brought to you by the guy who, 10 years earlier,  told the press,  "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore".
  If he'd kept the earlier promise he wouldn't have needed the later lie. >
  
  Not even 2 seconds of this has even been on Fox News, outside of this. >
  
  I wish I could believe the GOP has enough integrity to refuse to seat this POS, but I know better than to hope that.
