Well...you called it..kudos~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.www.cnbc.com
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.www.nytimes.com
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.
Santos is gay, he's one of yours.Well...you called it..kudos~
LOL! Do you really think that there are no gay people in the Republican party?Santos is gay, he's one of yours.
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.
Santos is gay, he's one of yours.
Huh?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.
Most of them bend the rules to line their pockets, Santos was just to dumb to even cover his own ass.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.
Santos is gay, he's one of yours.
Nope. He's a Republican, and Republicans elected him. Kevin McCarthy is protecting him even now.Santos is gay, he's one of yours.
The bigots just don't get that. You may as well be speaking Greek.Huh?
Santos has been indicted on thirteen federal counts of fraud.
That’s why he should resign, moron.
But you're a bigot against a gay politician.The bigots just don't get that. You may as well be speaking Greek.
you’re such a loser to come with such dumb shit.But you're a bigot against a gay politician.
Santos belongs to the Republicans as long as they’ll have him. They can cut him loose anytime.“George Santos IS the GOP!!”
Anthony Weiner anyone?
I'm sure McCarthy is getting pressure from moral Americans to force him out.Santos belongs to the Republicans as long as they’ll have him. They can cut him loose anytime.
I’m sure McCarthy will keep him as long as he needs his vote.I'm sure McCarthy is getting pressure from moral Americans to force him out.
Funny how Santos can be indicted which he deserves but a deranged crooked thieving bastard like Trump couldn't as POTUS.Gee, here's a surprise:
George Santos announces he won’t seek reelection following damning Ethics Committee report
