Hey media:

Go expose and ruin 20 lying and or corrupt democrats first. After you do that I may have some interest in your character assessments of Santos. Until then fuck you. You are a nakedly partisan apparatus of the DNC.

A mildly aware American

Has he done anything illegal?

Anything 'illegal', not sure but it seems he lied on his job application...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Probably but we do not know for sure. They are looking into his campaign finances. That may turn up something.

Let me know when he has broken the law.

I suspect he is going to get the deep freeze treatment. No committee unless congress has one on investigating the tipping threat on Guam. If he doesn't like it they will throw him to the wolves, er, weasels.

Any way, vote when, how and where we say and you can earn your two year pension, tell all the pretty girls how tall, smart and handsome you are and then sneak the fuck off to the oblivion of your mom's basement.

I don't know how NY's Repub committee works, or doesn't, but they need to rethink their vetting and funding because this deranged doofus is going to leave a stain on the carpet.

Members of congress look the American people in the eye and lie egregiously, make millions from insider trading and fuck Chinese spies.
But Santos should quit? The people elected him.
If the people don’t like that he lied, they can fire him in 2 years.

I think the potential legal jeopardy has to do with his campaign fund.

People lie about their momma’s death all the time.

He lied about his mother's death? How so?

^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes. Apparently he also had a charge in Brazil. They will discover that in time. He apparently did work at a call center for Dish Network a few years back. He speaks English and Portugese so the calls from Brazil were routed to him.

It's complicated.

That boy's got "Democrat" written all over him.

Maybe he should get together with President Two Scoops and have a rap battle, see who lies the best.

The only thing I can figure is that he identifies as a Democrat. Shouldn't that make it okay?

I don't like that he lied and his actual performance is to be seen. If he has no integrity about his past, how can I trust him for his promises?

But I like what one commentator said. The easiest way he could make this blow over is to switch parties and the Democrats will then say it's no big thing and any Republican critics of him are just racist.

This reminds me of that skit maybe SNL where the person lies and somehow the repeating line after more obfuscation is, "Yeah, that's the ticket!"

How many corrupt Republicans just voted for that $1.7 trillion bullshit out of process budget 4551 page porcine bill?

We need more?

They've got Fetterman we've got this drooling doofus, it's on now baby.

Most of what he's done is sleazy but not strictly illegal.
However, because the want to get him, they are now trying to manufacture wire fraud and other charges related to his fund raising and loans to his own campaign.
Had he been a Democrat I doubt any of that would be brought up.
Just go back and look over Joe Biden's history of plagiarism, lies, and embellishments, that he continues to this day.
All that said, this guy's a sleaze and should have known he would be under a microscope, especially being from the area he lives.

Near as I can tell he’s only guilty of being a bad liar. I’d wager every politician is a liar to some degree. Santos is just not as skilled as Schumer. Santos may even have mental illness. Schumer is just evil. Which is worse?

He hasn't been sworn in, right? What happens if he withdraws/resigns?
