Why? 2 reasons, really:

1) A doctor lied for months (A FRIGGIN DOCTOR) and told the American public that the ingrate handicapped, Fetterman, is cognitively capable of sitting as a US senator which is insane. The guy literally can't understand when people talk to him.

2) As long as Santos votes with republicans, WE DON'T GIVE A F!!!! We got rid of 2 left wing scummy slimeballs in Suozzi and Zimmerman.

So all you left wing NYC lunatic liberal radicals, who hate cops and think more crime is good, can jump off a bridge. We're standing with George and conservatives.

With you 100%. They have a sitting senator in NJ (Menendez) who's corrupt as heck but somehow didn't get prosecuted. Fetterman has no clue what's going on, they have the squad trying to destroy this country without any negative news coverage, no-bail laws destroying our state to name a few, and now we suddenly need to worry about a guy who hasn't been truthful?


Newsflash to dems: ALL politicians are liars. All of them.

This is not reporting. It's supporting.
At least the democrats did the right thing with Cuomo.

Few things: I am still waiting for the mainstream media to REPORT on the Twitter files with frontpage articles. It's an absolute scandal. Or for the mainstream media to not make the border crisis into a GOP talking point or more recently, it's the GOP who's at fault. And finally, you're applauding the NYC Democrats for ethics and doing the right thing with Cuomo. I mean, are you serious man?

Great Example! Actually Menendez was indicted AND prosecuted for corruption which ended up in a mistrial (hung jury), he was never exonerated. For whatever reason they didn't attempt to try him again. He neither resigned nor was pressured to by the democrats to do so and is still somehow a US senator today. So any Dems acting high and mighty over Santos can spare me....

Well, let's see, is Cuomo still the Governor of New York? No? He isn't?

Meanwhile, you're defending "George Santos" because [insert whataboutism here]? I don't really think these two cases are comparable, but you do you

L.I. Rep.-elect George Santos lied about Jewish relatives fleeing Holocaust

Quote:
Contrary to Santos’ emotive claims, his grandparents were actually born in Brazil, not Ukraine, and could not have escaped the Nazis before and during World War II, the Forward, an independent Jewish news organization, reported on Wednesday.
Geneology sites say Santos’s maternal grandfather, Paulo Horta Devolder, was born in 1918, and his grandmother, Rosalina Caruso Horta Devolder, in 1927, both in Brazil, according to the Forward.
They may not even have been Jewish at all. Santos’s mother, Fatima Devolder, who died in 2016, had a Facebook page but never mentioned “Jew” or “Jewish,” nor common Jewish terms like Yom Kippur or Israel in either English or Portuguese, which is the official language of Brazil.

It's ironic that the party of "education" has the least educated electorate there is. The vast majority of minorities, your base, is less educated then even the most southern redneck Trump supporter. Your base makes up the most dangerous, least educated and crime ridden cities in the country.

Now what was it you said about education?

Btw, Blumenthal lied about being in Vietnam and your boy, Joe, lies all the time about his son "dying" in Iraq. Stolen valor is disgusting, but not to filthy shameless demorats. Even your own senators, like Sinema, agree. They are quitting the party.

GOP has the house. Get used to it. Gonna get ugly for ya'll.

I am not defending Santos. Not at all.



But do you know what it took for Cuomo to resign? Not his scandals like the nursing home deaths, or any corruption. No no no. It's "MeToo" that took him down. After YEARS. So don't pretend the Dems did the "right thing". It took them years, and on a bogus scandal.

I do think Biden thinks his son died in Iraq.

As the great George Costanza said, “It ain’t a lie if you believe it”.

But I don’t think the NYT ever believed the “Hands up don’t shoot”, “The Biden Laptop is Russian Misinformation”, “Trump supporters killed a cop on Jan 6 “ ….and all their other hoaxes.

A question:

Is Santos' seat one that was flipped?

If "Yes", then that leads to another question:

Why didn't these revelations come out before the mid-terms but only now, when the Republicans have a very slim majority in the House?

Because if this is a flipped seat and Santos resigns a special election has to be held, then the chances are good that a Democrat re-takes the seat thereby cutting the Republican majority.

Now, Santos' sexual orientation is being called into question, too:
