The representative has been under fire for lying about his education and work history. He admitted to embellishing his resume and religion, called himself Jewish before pivoting to say he's “Jew-ish.”

Santos' colleagues in the House have called for him to resign over the lies, including former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who said Santos "hoaxed his voters." The Nassau County District Attorney in Santos' district launched an investigation into the representative.

Despite the calls to resign, Santos has said he will serve out his term.

    1. @Sue Howie you set the standard with your lies when you don’t take responsibility for touching & sniffing young children just like your hero Biden ..Democratic pigs !

    2. @ghost man scores  If you have any education, it’s easy to Google, tap the little mic, and just say, which president has lied the most. If you learn how to do this, you will be able to teach yourself how to get facts.

  1. I like the way that the smiling black security man runs interference fo Santos.
    I wonder if he’ll still be smiling when Santos can’t, or more likely, won’t pay him.

    1. … THE MOST INTELLIGENT REPUBLICAN ….. GOOD ON YOU GEORGE, YOU USED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WEAPON = THE LIES …… AND YOU WON THE ELECTION ……. IF IS ANY LAW, EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT SHOULD BE FIRED INCLUDING BIDEN AND KAMALA ………… CONGRATULATIONS GEORGE SANTOS

  2. No Honor! No Vote, Wake up, and be responsible for your vote because, we are to blame for every crook walking the halls of our government.

  3. He’s not going to be able to serve his full term. The only full term Santos is about to fulfill is his upcoming jail term.

  4. People everywhere are lining up to buy a copy of Santos’ new book “Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Telling The Truth But Were Afraid To Ask”

  5. give this man the attention he so desperately craves good job guys he’s getting all the attention he wants doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative

    1. @Eric Inman stream of consciousness is just fine. Only the very old insist on English the way they were taught. There are few standards to be held nowadays. Get used to it, and pine the loss, as many like myself do.

  6. The biggest issue here is that he’s in a position of power with the potential for lifetime monetary and health benefits based on fabricated accomplishments. Even fast joints do background checks, man.

  7. How can he do his job if you can’t believe anything he says. If he there for two years he will receive a check for the rest of his life. We shouldn’t have to pay a liar.
