U.S. Rep. George Santos, who lied about much of his resume and life story, would be removed from Congress if found to have broken campaign-finance laws, according to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer

"He's a bad guy," Comer said on CNN's "State of the Union" program. "It's not up to me or any other member of Congress to determine whether he can be kicked out for lying. Now, if he broke campaign finance laws, then he will be removed from Congress."

Santos has repeatedly refused to resign, even as pressure has grown within his own party for him to do so. On Thursday, heMore than a dozen Republicans officials, many of them from Santos' district, which covers parts of Queens and Long Island, have demanded the resignation of the newly elected congressman. At least six of his fellow Republican representatives from New York have joined the calls for him to step down.

House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy has said he will leave Santos' fate to the Ethics Committee and voters.

Biden said he went to a black church

Slimeball Santos 🤢

Hold my beer santos socialistclowns 🫃🏻

good remove him and the rest of them that are corrupt we've deal with them enough at this point

Celestephase Spoiler: No he won’t.

I wonder who he forgot to pay being that they all lie about their life stories so for him to be singled out he had to forget about something or someone

So ridiculous. I once was walked out of American Express training class. Why? My resume hsd the wrong test if one college I attended so Thry said I lied on my application. Be this guy totally lies and gets to stay?

Does nobody fact check those guys ?

I don’t understand why santon liy is a big deal for republicans, most of them did liy about election and no consequences of that.

CHANGE THE LAWS!!!!!

ALL of his resume - we gotta stop w this “lied about some” nonsense

PaulDereume Well if Santos is removed will his vote be null & void for speaker of the house? When there is cheating involved there should be another count/vote for Speakers of the House.

What I find so hypocritical, is that all republicans knew trump was criminal and a liar! But, they voted him in and overlooked all his poor behavior, his lies before office, and while in office, he criminally used his charities money to buy a portrait of himself.

Speak to liers, your politicians are all liers, collect your manners by seeing others’ faults. It is high time for you to read Confucius analects to earn benevolence and moral sence.

Santos has ZeroSelfRespect He keeps humiliating himself and refuses to do the only decent thing left to do.

Let’s hope James Comer can’t be bought or threatened.

But hey its great to know that fraud is perfectly fine then.. cool! I might just go around pretending to own all these golf courses then.

Not the lies. Not impersonating McCarthy’s COS for donations, not for theft…

A 2024 Republican contender for president. Just needs to pay hush money to a pornstar and collude with the Russians.

But then he gutted the Ethics Committee with Santos’ help. These people are repugnant!

What's all the fuss, he is just your average Right Wing conservative Christian Republican. Everyone of them and their voters are hypocrites, liers, lazy and freeloaders. That's why Blue states support every broke as a joke Red State. Believe me I live in one.

He definitely did. He's republican

They have to make a movie of this, america Is done, close the courtin show over.....

Get in line Santos right after Blumenthal. Warren and Biden

Jorge, antes se pilla a un mentiroso que a un cojo.

janjan2892 Has his citizenship been confirmed yet?

Santos is an imposter and should be removed now.

I'm sure he did. It seems to me a guy who's a wanted man for embezzlement is not a good fit ! It should be more than enough to throw his azz out ! McCarthy will probably just put him on the ethics or budget committees though 🙄

TonyHussein4 I'm old enough to remember only Michael Cohen faced consequences for paying off stormy.

TonyHussein4 It won't happen..they'll say $700K is not enough to violated campaign-finance law

TonyHussein4 How long will it take to determine if he broke campaign finance laws? Anything less that tomorrow is unacceptable

What if Santis is not even a citizen for the required number of years?

How is it possible this guy is still around? If someone blatantly lies about their resume and history how can they be trusted in government. 🤬

ResignNowGeorge

Get rid of this farce

Didn’t I see a story about JoeBiden lying 21 times since being elected?

PaulDereume I’m sure their Ethics Committee will get right on this.

Don't expect the House Ethics or Oversight Committees to look very hard at this. Because Family.

Please let it happen soon.

Good! Get more lying losers out of these positions of power lol like why should he keep his job?

If he was employed at Walmart would he be sacked?

They should just throw him down the Capitol stairs and let the people tear him apart. Ancient Rome style

Get rid of this guy. Proven Liar, cheat, and criminal. One would get fired from the simplest of jobs for what he has done.

As he should be!

Exactamundo, not to mention his potential income tax evasion issues given his loan to his campaign compared to his stated assets and income

He should leave on his own. He hasn’t got a moral compass or he would.

Guy is a lying piece of trash. Reminds me on the orange doofus Trump.

Should ALL folks in congress live by the same standards?

The GOP's House 'majority' is so narrow, you know they are just going to continue to hem and haw, look the other way and screech disingenuous $!+ about 'lyin' Joe' for the next 2 years. Basically a 'rinse and repeat' of the Former Occupant's tenure.

I'm beginning to think that this Santos4Congress person might be fibbing.

Trash

MAGA speaker won’t allow it ! After all, his leader, Diaper D survived on lies! 🤷🏻‍♂️

he's got a plan... ...he's gonna register as a Democrat

Hasn’t Biden lied about his life story over and over

He will be removed from office when Republicans determine he is a liability to them and not a second before.
