borenbears Countless politicians spread bullshit every day. But while Rs get called to answer for it, dems are like climate alarmists- almost zero accountability for their long track record of failures.

I can’t believe we have a liar in Congress.

If politicians started resigning over lies they’ve told, DC would be empty.

Truth?

😂😂😂😂 what a good comedian he is! 😂😂😂😂

Brazilian politician standard at its finest 🫠

Not to Biden it doesnt

Trust me, I see him as at least ones whose closet is out in the open. What about the rest of the congress who in public pretend to be high & mighty, but behind doors are crooked as ever. All politicians are criminals.

You tried to coup Brazil the first time, fire ants, second time, Dengue and Chikungunya, third try, George Santos, and we will keep delivering worst and worst plagues as long as we keep bothering us.

AP, I HATE “whataboutism” and think Santos is a fraud, but have you guys investigated ANY of Biden’s claims? I mean he IS the president. You should do some “investigative journalism. I know it’s been a while…

It's Kitara Ravache for you

'Carrying on'...doubtful he, or anyone ELSE in Congress is doing little BUT 'carrying on'

Anything on Pocahontas? No? Weird.

While he lies about literally everything?

If everyone in D.C. had to resign for lying... would there be anyone remaining?

The irony is so rich you could mend a suit of armor from it.

Not having a sense of shame is a cheat code in American politics

Why would he quit when he knows he will never be held responsible? He now has a cush job with a staff that will be doing all the real work so he can be another GQP mouth and vote how he's told.

And if you're looking for your spineless GQP 'leadership' to do the right thing here... LOL you're in for a surprise.

Irony found dead

Embarrassing.

The Republican Party at its finest !!

Geeohpee and the word “truth” don’t belong in the same sentence.

Had to double check this wasn’t a headline from TheOnion

And doing as little as possible.

Of course he is. He's shameless. Why do we count on unethical people to do the right thing? Congress should be able to remove anyone who shows themself unfit for office, including him and more than a few others.

The GOP shitshow endorses this freak.

He can’t resist the $174k salary for doing nothing.

That paycheck still matters.

As Santos his real name?

Didn’t know this dude was into comedy, as well.

😂😂

So there is no investigation into all the media’s dirt ?

He's in it for the pension and health benefits.

Conmen getting elected.. brilliant society!

Biden doing same but much worse.

Yeah, he was elected to lie.

If I lied on my job application…….

He’ll never win again. He doesn’t care. He just wants the pub now so he can join Fox News in two years

George santos didn’t get elected, the character he played who happened to have the same name got elected.

If this guy doesn't get shitcanned *and* punished for being a complete fraud then it will set a precedence for anyone to do it. In the regular workforce, he'd already be fired and forgotten.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED SAFEGUARDS LIKE RECALLS

I'm MAGA all day ,he should be removed, anyone who lies in an official capacity should be removed, if you lied on an application in the real world you would loose your job.

We know that NO DEMOCRATS ever lie EVEN once. Many of them lie all the time & their lies are about important things that affect Americans. Anyone who wishes to debate which side lies more is welcome to do so with me. I love robust & honest discussion & debate. Professor Rich ©️

I never thought the first Brazilian drag queen to serve in Congress would be a republican. Who knew the GOP was so woke? Woke WokeGOP

The voters didn’t elect George- they elected a fictional character!

What the difference between Santo’s and Biden

Having a liar in Congress is totally unprecedented. Congress is full of upstanding people like Joe Biden.

This under a government that routinely kills Black people during pretextual traffic stops.

He wasn’t even elected. The false version of himself was elected. Both appear to be variations bologna though.

His real name is Peter Brady and he's british.

He’s following the Trump model - if you don’t know the answer, just make something up. If you don’t have the qualifications, lie… And if you get caught? Just admit it and keep doing it. Honestly, it’s worked for Trump for years. Surprised no one else has tried it until now…

The first honest liar in Congress.

Why hasn't there been a re-call petition? Is that not an option here?

The press might have some credibility here if they asked the same question of Biden's many fibs. How did he get all that money from the CCP?

When a room full of lawyers can’t figure out how to expunge a liar of this magnitude you know it’s the system that’s broken. This ain’t Circuit City on your resume. The guy fabricated his entire life and work history.

The work: Earn a life time Pension.

He should. Joe Biden has lied far worse and he's in the White House.

Translation: 'I'm here to line my pockets for as long as I can'

Joe Biden has lied to me more times than George Santos has.

Can somebody tell me one politician and all of us history who never told a lie. Come on just name one politician will kept all their promises and everything they ever said was true.

Gop grooming another young liar to replace trump, problem is he’s a lot more intelligent and dangerous.

There's only one thing republicans will hear.

All politicians lie, at least he admits it!

Who would actually vote for him again?

He needs to resign

How can you hold Santos accountable for not telling the truth when the rest of congress, like Schiff and Pelosi, can lie with impunity? If he goes so should the rest of the liars

Biden breezily told a lie about homosexual marriage this week and he is running for reelection

how is biden then president he lied for 40 years and Biden takes the cake!! lied about education, his stance on gay marriage in past, his '94 bill causing imprisonment that was unreasonable for many blacks for minor possession of pot, his finances!!

Anybody else would have been fired, but sure, keep collecting your paycheck from taxpayers! smh 🤢

Santos has the GOP strategy all figured out. just lie, deny, and lie some more. eventually, everyone will leave you alone and every lie and crime you commit will be forgiven and forgotten

What a piece of trash

Actually admitting he lied to voters is better than most politicians these days…

George has just made a few mistakes.

The thing is, the real George Santos didn’t get elected to do anything. The fake one did.
