Rep. George Santos didn’t need another round of bad news, but a watchdog group has filed an FEC complaint against the Republican, alleging numerous violations. (via MaddowBlog)

On his first day on Capitol Hill, the reception was far from warm. As House Republicans tried and failed to elect a speaker, Santos began the week sitting in the back row,But in the days that followed, as C-SPAN cameras kept an eye on the GOP freshman, Santos was seen interacting with other members.

“It is far more likely, instead, that after failing to win his 2020 bid for Congress, Santos and other unknown persons worked out a scheme to surreptitiously — and illegally — funnel money into his 2022 campaign,” the complaint reads. “The concealed true source behind $705,000 in contributions to Santos’s campaign could be a corporation or foreign national — both of which are categorically barred from contributing to federal candidates.

There were already questions surrounding the Republican and how he managed to loan his campaign more than $700,000, despite a modest middle-class income. It’s hardly a stretch to think the FEC, especially now, will take a closer look.

SpeakerMcCarthy Santos4Congress Crooks day 1!

Biden confused aid worker for border patrol agent in El Paso. When isn’t Biden confused.

Never trust a man who uses air quotes, not even a Republican.

Can anyone tell me if this is true? I thought I read someplace santos received campaign funds from a russian oligarch

Biden next he lied during campaign

Democrats are good ones to talk about ethics

OH....NOooooooo! You've got zip!

Birds of a feather…

The Republican’s Rosemary Baby

McCarthy literally won the speakers chair by one vote. One Santos vote. fraud

Wow...Just Wow...This from the Law and Order Party

Corrupt

Clean the swamp is their catch phrase. Start here!!

Think about the entire scenario. Who gave him 700,000? How'd he so smoothly lie? And wow, he voted for McCarthy! THAT was the goal. Follow the money and discount his vote because it was a fraudulent set up to install McCarthy and further MAGA rule.

CNBC. WARNING ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ They are the promoters of the Stockmarket system & their job is to spread Hope or Fear, depending on the plan of the aristocrats behind the scene. Don't be Data dependent, it's all manipulated info., just scripted to serve their cause. J. Cramer. Sellout!

F A K E N E W S !

This guy has to be one your guys

Sounds about right

Enough is enough. Do something!!!! Stop waiting around. We’ve seen how that’s worked so far. And with all this evidence? Seriously? 🤬

Goodness this guy and Joe win the Blue ribbon

What is your point? Did he sell secrets to China like Joe Biden has done. He only lies like a Democrat to play their game. He won! Cool game he played. Prison for Biden and Kamila Harris. Lock them up now!

Toss him to the curb ppl C’mon Kev.

For God's sake, the man needs to be out!

How did he go from stealing a checkbook to buy himself shoes to donating $705,000 to his own campaign? 🫤

Santos hannities more than Trump. Trump probably thinks he can use Santos as a distraction.

If this joker had a D next to his name ? Msnbc would barely mention this story. Now ? Big, big, big news. Santos is a lying joke. No doubt. The glee from the left media is audible. Loving this story. While ignoring more important things.

And?

Fraud.

Lock up that fake creep!

if this is what Congress has become, and we can see Boebert, Marj, Gaetz, Biggs, Gomer etc. are all KKK plus mentally ill, then just shut it down and start over with no money allowed, everybody can campaign.

He was only pretending to be that guy because that was his costume for Halloween! Wasn’t his fault people gave money instead of candy.

Didn't Biden have classified documents stashed in some closet at some university 🤔🤔he definitely has no right to have them, he was a vice president and Trump was president who has more rights than Biden did , how is fake news MSNBC going to spin this one around 🤔🤔🙄🙄

Right out of the gate he starts. Santos cannot help himself. He needs to go before the ethics committee is gone.

republican politicians are trash, corrupt trash.

Did you hear? VP JoeBiden took classified material to his UPenn office. VP's can't declassify materials and abscond with them. It's illegal.

Can he be fired before re-election?

Can we not deport him back to Brazil?

I don’t normally believe what has to say about, well anything really, but I’m inclined to believe this one. This Santos guy is diiirrrrtty!

Remove him from office.

Sounds like another anonymous sources story. A GOP donor. Sure it was 🤣

How does this keep getting worse 😂

🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

stellabystarlit Total aside and nothing wrong with this but Santos wears makeup. Anyone else notice?

RussianCollusionHoax continues

He's doomed. Not deserved, but the system won't allow a newbie to lie as the incumbents.

Who’s he pretending to be today.🤣🤣

Might want to look into this!🤣

Haha!! He’s garbage.

Why are you not covering classified documents at Biden Center? I'm sure you are aware of this. Who is telling you to censor the story. Some are said to be very sensitive classified documents illegally stored & Biden Center. Prove to us all you are not bought & for fascist puppets

Another big tough guy.

What country is he working for …not the United States

Why don’t you report on some real news?

This guy seems to be a bad news all over. How come such a terrible creature got elected in US? This shows that US democracy is a sham

Tear him a new butt Rufus. Good boy...🤓

Who is George Santos? Do we really know?

This clown shouldn’t be in office!

Seems like an ordinary day for a Republican

So is the GOP just going to ignore the situation? 😡

😂😂😂😂
