  Zimmerman (his opponent) went to the media with this info a few months ago and they wouldn't run it.
context: They’re probably more disappointed in him for admitting it…that’s not the republican way. >
  
  Exactly, if you just use alternative facts he has all of the qualifications that he says he has. >
  
  This is the real danger of the GOP running people like Herschel Walker. We are all so distracted by the crazed loon claiming that his toy badge makes him a real cop that we don’t notice the equally crazed loon who tells lies a little better. >
  
  This is the future of the GOP. >
  
  I assume Kevin McCarthy is going to put him on the ethics committee. >
  
  With Bobart, Greene, Gym Jordan and Gohmert. The dream team. Lol. >
  
  The GOP does not want to weight in on telling the truth there is no way they can win any argument about that when a significant amount of thier culture wars are based on lies. >
  
  Same reason they won't have debates. Can't have the enemy beaming truthspeak into our Fox zombies >
  
  Do you want to be a vampire or a werewolf? >
  
  If the GOP demands that Santos resign and not take his seat in Congress, then a special election would be called and there is a high probability that the Dems could win this seat back and thus giving the GOP only a three seat majority.
  For the GOP, power trumps morality every time. >
  
  Maybe McCarthy will dump him after he gets Santos' vote for speaker. Nah. I know that's never going to happen. He will probably even allow this crook committee assignments. >
  
  You'd be instantly fired if your employer found out everything you told them was a lie
  When the boundary between right and wrong is defined by the limits of criminal behaviour, society is in severe trouble. >
  
  In Politics, it’s not right and wrong, it’s Right and Left!
  Kind of joking, but also just making an observation about the degeneracy of democratic morality. >
  
  Let’s be very clear. There is no “both sides are the same here”. And it has been this way at least since the days of Gingrich. >
  
  Silence = approval >
  
  McCarthy has no principles. He’d let a con artist stay in Congress just to keep his grip on power. Speaks volumes that this is a man they want to be Speaker of the House. >
  
  I wouldn't be surprised if he was a guaranteed vote for speaker, and McCarthy literally can't lose a single vote atm. >
  
  Just one more excellent example of Republican corruption. They barely notice anymore. >
  
  The fact that they can’t unanimously agree to tell him to immediately GTFO tells you that there are already many others like George Santos within the party. >
  
  They’re enjoying this. They lie about everything so this is nothing but the truth being distorted. They will accept him back into the rotten family that they are >
  
  Presumably they’re worried about the precedent.
  While his case is a little more extreme than average, if every Republican congressman elect who had lied about something relevant to their position were forced to resign, there would be no Republican congressmen elect. >
  
  Lisa DesJardins of NPR said tonight that a Republican told her that they knew everything he said was a lie, but winning the seat was more important to them. >
  
  Yeah, I read a piece that said the same thing. Republicans were already aware of the falsehoods. It was like a in-joke to them. Not the first time Santos had run for office.
  Makes it more odd to me how the Dems didn't know.
