[Anonymous]

McCarthy is such an embarrassment.

On the plus side - senators grift does shine a bright light on how people monetize running for office. It can apparently be a great scam.

does he have any staff now?

if i didn't know this was real life, i would swear it was a scene from veep

Sadly it is real. And republicans are defending this nightmare. If your representative is not condemning this fraud, they should be. He is a very unfunny joke.

They’re not condemning it because they agree with it. This is the GOP.

I don't think they agree with it - I think the problem is that they have the slimmest majority in the house and if they eject ol Catch Me If You Can here it's likely he'll be replaced with a Dem.

This isn't difficult to understand. They can't win if they play fair and with morals, so they embrace anyone who can help them keep power, even people who cheat or commit crimes, or mentally ill people who lie more than they tell the truth. Anyone standing by quietly is comfortable enough to accept what's happening. They're not hostages, they're participants. And now he's being rewarded with committee assignments. That's not just accepting him, that's embracing him, confirming that he's part of the family.

This is what Kvin McCarthy suooorts. Someone who scammed a veteran suffering from PRSD whose service animal needed surgery out of more than $3000 raised on his behalf by “Anthony Devolder” through a 2016 GoFundMe campaign.

Was just coming here to post this. It’s bad enough all the lies, and the theft of his roommate’s clothes, including a scarf he wore to a stop the steal rally (you can't make this stuff up!). But stealing from a disabled vet and causing his service dog to die because of it!!! You republicans sure know how to pick them.

I was really hoping that as Trump faded from the scene that the party would start to try to find its way back to some semblance of reality. I really dislike much of what Democrats are selling and would love to have an alternative. But it seems like the Republicans are too far gone. They've made me into a Democratic voter even though I don't really like Democrats.

He put this liar on committees? Low level committees apparently but what a slap in the face to small business and science. Here you go...you are so unimportant that you can have this piece of garbage on your committee.

[Anonymous]

The service dog/veteran story is crushing. The man has no shame and neither do Republicans who care lore about power than integrity and decency.

Asking sincerely...have you ever thought of trying to personally shape Republican Party policy to more closely match your priorities/concerns by participating in local or state politics, writing letters to your representatives at all levels, participating in groups that work to influence policy, etc? The country would benefit greatly from two parties tethered to reality, not just one. I think many of those that complain or opine here regularly would be better served by trying to actually change the aspects of our parties we don't like. And, yes, I have done some of things that I mentioned.

He's like a character from a movie. It reminds me of the Distinguished Gentleman, but even more over the top. I'm waiting eagerly for the stealing candy from a baby story

This is it, right? Is today’s GOP really going to tolerate a drag queen groomer in their caucus?

[Anonymous]

Color me shocked that Santos’s mother wasn’t even in the US on September 11 when he said she was in the South Tower.

Records show Rep. George Santos’s mother wasn’t in New York on 9/11

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/18/santos-mother-sept-11/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) has said his mother was inside one of the World Trade Center towers when they were attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, but immigration records indicate that Santos’s mother wasn’t in the United States on that day.

Also: he stole money from a dying dog.

Stay classy, Republicans!

Sadly, this will probably be the only thing that could bring him down. Not al the lies. Not stealing money meant to save the dying service dog of a veteran with PSTD. Not finance violations. But because he was a drag queen.

[Anonymous]

There is no proof he is a US citizen. And thus, not legally able to serve in the Congress.

[Anonymous]

I wonder how Santos is going to play off his being a drag queen amid the drag-hating right wingers?
