George Santos Is Doomed

[g5000]

I didn't know Trump was gay.

Are you proud of your obtuseness?

The resignation of George Santos is an easy call, but Kevin McCarthy is protecting him because of the narrow Republican majority in the House.

More and more Republicans are calling for Santos to resign as more of his crimes, yes crimes, come to light. Santos did more than lie, he broke the law and it is just a matter of time before he is indicted.

The House vacancies clause says that when a House member resigns, the governor of the state must hold a special election.

Santos defeated his Democratic opponent 54.1 percent to 45.9 percent.

Even if and when Santos is indicted, there is no law which requires a House member under indictment to resign. Not even if they are ultimately convicted! So one wonders just how far into the gutter the GOP will follow Santos.

So let's get into his crimes.

First, the Santos campaign defrauded donors:

'We were duped': How George Santos raised money from wealthy GOP donors while lying about his resume

Congressman George Santos "duped" wealthy donors to contribute to his campaign. The lies helped his 2022 political groups raise nearly $3 million.

Wealthy donors received calls and emails from a man who said he was Dan Meyer, McCarthy’s chief of staff, during the 2020 and 2022 election cycles, according to people familiar with the matter. His name was actually Sam Miele, and he worked for Santos raising money for his campaign, according to one GOP donor who contributed to Santos’ campaign.

The Republican would also tout his business record that’s now in question, including claims that he worked on Wall Street, as a way to encourage donors to contribute to his campaign, according to financiers and party operatives familiar with the matter.

Brendan Fischer, a deputy executive director of the watchdog Documented, and Robert Maguire, a research director at campaign ethics watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, each told CNBC that the impersonation of McCarthy’s chief of staff could have broken the law.

“A person who misrepresented themselves as speaking on behalf of a candidate in order to raise money may have committed a criminal violation, and any other person who knowingly and willfully participated in the plan could also face criminal charges,” Fischer said in an email.


One wonders just how much of a cuck Kevin McCarthy is if he tolerates the Santos campaign impersonating his chief of staff.





Next, Santos donated $705,000 to his own campaign. The only problem is, he has no visible means of income for that kind of money. The most likely scenario is that he received money from straw donors illegally and funneled it to his campaign.

Who Is Rep.-Elect George Santos? His Résumé May Be Largely Fiction. (Published 2022)

Mr. Santos, a Republican from New York, says he’s the “embodiment of the American dream.” But he seems to have misrepresented a number of his career highlights.

Federal investigators are on the case. Santos's indictment is probably just a matter of time.

McCarthy needs to get out in front of this, or the GOP will continue to be the We Can Shoot Someone On Fifth Avenue party. No more red waves.

Well...you called it..kudos~

 

[lennypartiv]

Well...you called it..kudos~

Santos is gay, he's one of yours.

 

[EvilEyeFleegle]

Santos is gay, he's one of yours.

LOL! Do you really think that there are no gay people in the Republican party?

Santos ran and won..as a Republican. A liar..and a Republican--if I'm not being redundant.

 

[Dragonlady]

Liz, pocahontas, Warren has made a career out of doing what Santos appears to have done.

Until she resigns for her DECADES of lies, he should just stay put.

When the only defence you have for Santos is to lie about Liz Cheney and, Elizabeth Warren. You really do have nothing.

But lies are all you have so you go with it.

 

[Dragonlady]

Santos is gay, he's one of yours.

No, he’s not, Lenny. He’s a grifter and a con artist. He is definitely one of yours.

Santos couldn’t have been elected as a democrat because Democrats would’ve checked out his background and they would never let him run.

Republicans will let any piece of shit run for office if they’ve got the money to pay for it.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

I don’t like Santos because he is a homosexual.

But if we are going to ask one homosexual to step down from Congress, then they should all step down.

Let me know when the gay Democrats resign.

Huh?
Santos has been indicted on thirteen federal counts of fraud.
That’s why he should resign, moron.

 

[sartre play]

What laws did Warren break?

It's pretty sad you tards will defend even a completely despicable piece of shit like Santos just because he decided to put an R after his name.

Really fucking sad.

Most of them bend the rules to line their pockets, Santos was just to dumb to even cover his own ass.
The sad thing is that ripping us off is so expected, that he did not think he even had to put out much effort too get away with it.

 

[dudmuck]

Santos is gay, he's one of yours.

 

[g5000]

Santos is gay, he's one of yours.

Nope. He's a Republican, and Republicans elected him. Kevin McCarthy is protecting him even now.

Dipshit.

The bigots just don't get that. You may as well be speaking Greek.

 

[lennypartiv]

The bigots just don't get that. You may as well be speaking Greek.

But you're a bigot against a gay politician.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

But you're a bigot against a gay politician.

you’re such a loser to come with such dumb shit.

“George Santos IS the GOP!!”

Anthony Weiner anyone?

“George Santos IS the GOP!!”

Anthony Weiner anyone?

Santos belongs to the Republicans as long as they’ll have him. They can cut him loose anytime.

 

[lennypartiv]

Santos belongs to the Republicans as long as they’ll have him. They can cut him loose anytime.

I'm sure McCarthy is getting pressure from moral Americans to force him out.

I'm sure McCarthy is getting pressure from moral Americans to force him out.

I’m sure McCarthy will keep him as long as he needs his vote.

Update:

House Ethics Committee report on George Santos finds "substantial evidence" of wrongdoing​

​

Statement of the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Committee on Ethics Regarding Representative George Santos​

​

At the completion of its investigation, the ISC unanimously concluded that there was substantial evidence that Representative George Santos: knowingly caused his campaign committee to file false or incomplete reports with the Federal Election Commission; used campaign funds for personal purposes; engaged in fraudulent conduct in connection with RedStone Strategies LLC; and engaged in knowing and willful violations of the Ethics in Government Act as it relates to his Financial Disclosure (FD) Statements filed with the House. In light of the ongoing criminal investigation into Representative Santos, and the ISC’s findings of additional uncharged and unlawful conduct by Representative Santos, the ISC recommended that the Committee immediately refer these allegations to the Department of Justice.
