C'mon guys, he didn't say he was Jewish, he said he was Jew-ish.

Pathological liar, clearly needs help.
But also a fraud, he should step down immediately or be expelled. His win is based on lies. Is this what the GOP wants? |

Apparently, Santos says he will not run for reelection after serving one term.
You believe me, don’t you? |

Well, one congressman is trying to make sure there is.
Ritchie Torres introduces SANTOS Act to punish any members of Congress who lie under oath about their employment, military service or education.

A Santos Act? Couldn't the bundle it up with other stuff in a portmanteau Act - a sort of Santos Clause?

I would understand sanctions by Congress if his behavior was a surprise. But he was literally called out for being a liar during the election. It was easy to understand that he was dishonest. kicking him out doesn't help his district, but insults the very citizens who voted for him.....that they must be treated like children

Yes. The voters had a chance to evaluate his pre-election lying. They decided, don't deny their representation because you don't like their determination
ETA: And of course there will be more lies ...he is a liar. The voters judged his character and found it acceptable. Further, it isn't like he is part of the custodial staff there; his job just isn't that important. |

Just think about this: Santos could be the deciding vote for who gets to be the next Speaker of the House.

Let's try it like this:
I would understand sanctions by The Board of Surgeons if his alarming surgical death rates was a surprise. But he was literally called out for being a annoying doctor during his medical residency. It was easy to understand that he was annoying. Revoking his medical license doesn't help all the people he has killed, but insults the very patients who he wants to operate on in future.....that they must be treated like children. |
