These politicians refuse to make any laws that will hold them accountable, just like in the Supreme Court, they want to do their own oversight, it's a joke!
McCarthy needs Santos or he wouldn't be speaker it is a front Santos is most likely a lookout for classified information and anything he can get he is a fraud all the way
Thank you! This whole situation with McCarthy & the Republican leadership keeping him in our Congress is outrageous, slimy and disgraceful. And yes I live in NYS and I am furious.
It's a shame that these mostly freshman lawmakers have to do this. This isn't about republican or democrat. This is about honesty and integrity and trust. I am SO disgusted.
Sadly it was always going to fall to the freshmen members. The senior members weren't going to let go of a Rep seat when their majority is so slim and they have a high chance of it becoming even slimmer when the seat goes to special election.
@@HumbleAstronaut He still has the majority but it will be only 3 instead of 4. If a Repub wins the special election it will go back to 4, but I think that's highly unlikely now - it seems obvious that a Dem would romp home.
Kudos to these freshmen legislators for their action. Where is the senior leadership when their experience, wisdom and counsel is needed to restore dignity, trust and integrity to congress?
The freshmen are naive. Give them a term and they’ll learn you need to lie and manipulate your way into another term. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have senior leadership.
Republicans are in charge of the House now. There's no integrity. MTG, Bobo & Gosar set the tone for dignity & you never could trust a republican in the first place.
Why doesn’t the law include a background check on anyone holding any office? I had to get one for my job at a warehouse. That should change. Maybe a psych exam too the way things have been going… Thank you for standing up for what is right!
No, not every congressional official is a fraud. Let's be accurate and identify the con artists in Congress and vote them out. Voters hire, voters fire. Let's do the work instead of just complaining and making jokes. This is our nation, let's take this seriously.
The Republican Party knew. The do a "vulnerability" report on all candidates and many of these lies came to light BEFORE THE VOTE. The Republicans chose to do nothing. Some members of that committee quit in disgust, but did not tell the public. Retired librarian
HEROIC????? Really? What exactly is heroic about following the established procedure to expel a member. How/why/when/where is that a difficult thing to do?
@@wizquinn8021 Obviously Santos district was fooled but McCarthy supported Santos and is now going to try play like he was fooled. He wasn't. Reports are already coming out that McCarthy had been briefed but continued to support Santos. What cards does McCarthy have to play? He made such Faust-like deals he may feel that he cannot lift an honest finger. He will support all and rely on Congressional members to sort themselves. Not the leadership we want from a Speaker. Even in a skirt and scarf, McCarthy can't come close to Pelosi's performance.
My respect for Mitt Romney went way up, when he spoke for so many people, that someone like George Santos does NOT belong in Congress. McCarthy will maintain his majority even if he expels Santos from the House. Something that should not be needed. McCarthy should never have allowed Santos to be seated. The man is a disgrace to not only Congress and the GOP, but to the human race as a whole.
McCarthy agreed to allow any house member to call a vote to oust him at any time. Dems need to do it every single day until he does something about Santos
Wait until Santos is gone, then vote to remove McCarthy as the speaker, then hold the vote while Republicans are in disarray, so Jeffries can be seated.
Thank you, you are brave folks speaking the truth about Georgie Boy!!! Thank you for your guts and the willingness to do the right thing.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is evidence that more long term members of Congress, who don’t speak up against Santos, should be replaced with new Representatives who have integrity and expect honesty from themselves and their colleagues.

Thankful that someone is finally doing something! Shame it's a group of Freshman that are doing this. Should have been handled by more senior Reps long before this.
We demand integrity, honesty, and confidence in Government. Politicians must be vetted by a group of psychologist before running for office. Too many sociopaths and psychopaths are in American politics. Con-men must be removed! We need to clean house.
And they should be made to take a series of Lie Detector tests. Just have them stay in a cell or hospital overnight before the tests so that they can't take certain med's that would allow them to get away with lying.
Santos needs to be investigated thoroughly and quickly and charged for whatever he's guilty of - rather than just getting to leave his overpaid government job he never deserved.
We voted for these ppl to work TOGETHER and help America to be strong, true and safe, "for the people by the people". Our lawmakers have shown us hate, confrontation, lies and disregard for their constituents and think they are untouchable and do whatever they want without any hesitation. Time for them to be held accountable and face the music!!
If you care enough to research all the lies Joe Biden has told throughout his career you would really feel violated. He has literally lied about his education, where he grew up, his qualifications, etc numerous times, got caught plagiarizing speeches, you name it. All politicians are professional liars, all of them.
@@Jess-kz2wn wouldn’t have mattered. Dude just lied about absolutely everything. Nothing that would’ve really shown up on a background check. That and the local media had done their checked and the GOP didn’t give af.
Well, not really. Big Tobacco and Big Pharma come to mind, along with others. Still, elected office is different. These individuals are elected to serve and swear and oath. More must be expected-and required.
Not convinced there is any integrity. More about the look. Seriously. McCarthy just blew it off because as bad as he wanted SOTH he is so weak and pathetic. It's all about how the public perceives the party.
And age limits, wealth limit (do you think a politician with $250 million has your interest at heart?), criminal background check, drug testing like it is done to most people, and financial monitoring as is done when one works for a bank job (but not its chief-suite level!)
SCOTUS for sure should have limits as they are not elected. Voters who keep re-electing these liars are the real problem. Voters have a choice though, that we don’t have with SCOTUS.
OMG WOW!!!! These are the kind of people that this country needs as their representatives , dignified and proud Americans. I commend their TRUTH about their own party
Thank You, and shame on the established leadership in the house to allow this to go on so long. Morels and ethics seem to be nonexistent for political leadership.
Santos should not resign. He should be _expelled._ Congress needs to have a backbone and laws that protect against this. It can’t just be with courtesy of the ones involved all the time. Like Trump’s taxes,..
I like Congressman Torres so much! Whenever he speaks, the message gets across in a clean and direct way. He's honest, smart, humble and a true professional... Just the type of Congessmen we need in Congress.

@@521tess It is not term limits. We need mechanisms to get rid of elected officials that cannot and will not uphold their Oath to the US the people of the US - domestic enemies. It it cannot take years to get domestic enemies out of office especially when they display conduct that is not in alignment with Oath to the US Constitution. More importantly - when voters of a state fail to hold their elected officials to the highest standards of national office - a mechanism to expel domestic enemies from Congress and the Senate needs to be in place.
The more his constituent asked him to Get Lost and stop representing their district, the bigger Santos ego became. How the hell Santos planning to serve his district when he chicken out to face them??
Never say never. It was the Democrats that got Democrat Al Franken to resign for a lot less than this. Before the Tea Party and maga cult started distracting their voters from their real authoritarian agenda with unimportant, and sometimes insane BS, the Republicans once had a moral code and were responsible for getting Nixon to resign because the majority were going to vote for impeachment. This was back when they still had respect for the oath of office that they swore to uphold to protect the Constitution and the rules of law of this country.
@garyallen8824 They shouldn't have done that and they regretted it. Things have to proceed in their proper order. Otherwise there is Chaos. The ethics committee is conducting an investigation and will submit a report. The house will then take appropriate action. They could, by two thirds vote expelled Santos from the House but it would be a violation of their own president to do that for behavior prior to his becoming a member. The Supreme Court would have to decide if it is legal. There should be some reluctance to expelling a member because it overturns the will of his constituents. Members might be expelled for being homosexual or being anti-homosexual. Franken resigned, he wasn't voted out.
@@marielynn3802 maybe we should burn it down, start over. My defense of Santos is not because I like him, it is because they have not proven he is guilty in a court of law. Once they can pick and choose who can serve or just throw them out, then why have an open elections. Our system is messed up enough. Convict him then throw him out.
What I find the most disturbing is the acceptance that politicians can lie. That should not be allowed full stop. I want honest people running our house , senate , and executive office otherwise how can you trust the government
That’s why I don’t vote anymore. Everyone lies or they don’t fulfill the promise, why have those people in power. If I vote it’s bc I’d rather have the better of two evils
@@janncoons7445 point taken...you are right...maybe uncorrupted politicians? 🙂 They're freshman give'm a couple terms they may fall in line...I hope not but power corrupts
Santos doesn't have the character or ethics to be given a laundromat job, sucking farts out of underwear. I'm still stunned that McCarthy pretends he's powerless bc Santos's constituents voted him in. Um, no - they voted in a college-educated finance wiz & volleyball superstar who could have taken it pro, had he not suddenly been stricken with the insatiable urge to serve his fellow man. And folks in his district might not even have voted for a guy who run the campaign under his real name. It's all still a big mystery because when asked, he went from running away & pretending the press corp didn't exist, to acting all peevish and wounded when they called out his lies, to popping off with sarcasm and sashaying into the elevator without answering their question. He's loving this, because he's earning big money (to do an "honest" job, even!) & getting more attention than he can handle.
She nailed it. "Elected under false pretenses." The voters bought his lies and elected him on that basis. Yet another example of how freakishly weird and scary American politics can be. Thank goodness that here in Canada our politicians are banal and boring.
I was thinking the same thing. Every time Santos says he was elected, I want to yell "no... they elected a college educated, Jewish man that worked for Citigroup, is successful in business, knows the pain of losing a parent on 9/11, has experienced the horror of a hate related mass shooting and raises money for pet charity." They wanted someone of that character to represent them and George Santos is none of those.
These five representatives give me the first breath of hope I've had. Godspeed and may your careers flourish! Agreed with an earlier comment: they should be the members of the Ethics Committee!! SHAME on the seasoned so-called "leadership" who do nothing but suck up for their own personal agenda, while selling our democracy down the river to idiots and con artists!
@@toddfarkman2177 You are defending a person lying about the college they attended and claiming that it isn't a reason to get fired from their job? Just checking.
@@Darbobski I'm defending State's rights and the rule of law. If a State wants to elect a Nazi wife-beater, that's their prerogative. Otherwise, our Democracy is a sham. It's one reason we had a Civil War.
@@toddfarkman2177Not “lying”. Lying all the time about everything. As much as your average congressman lies, it does not usually rise to this level and be so easily provable. How can anyone believe anything Santos says, unless you take that kind of behavior as being some kind “swag”, some kind of “being a boss” or some other bullshit like that.
@@toddfarkman2177 If the "Nazi Wife-Beaater" tells constituents that they are one and then gets elected, then you'd be correct. As it is, you are about as off base as you can be.
Filed with the "Ethics Committee?" In the repug lead congress? Hahahahaha!!! That's rich. They don't have "ethics." Look no further than Empty G, Boobert, Scott, Johnson, Gomert, Gaetz, McCarthy, et al.
All of those things that were listed that make George Santos sick, should also make Kevin McCarthy just as sick for allowing it to stand and never speaking a word.
Why is it easier to lie in Congress and not lose your job than ANY OTHER JOB IN THE COUNTRY?? This is absolutely ridiculous and disgraceful.
Yes, whose interests are being served?
Says a lot about the USA electorate.....yes disgraceful!
Because McCarthy would lose power and a republican losing power is scary to them

@@billh.1940 No. In saying that you to those who are trying to restore integrity to our Congress. Need I say it again?
@@marielynn3802 maybe we should burn it down, start over.
My defense of Santos is not because I like him, it is because they have not proven he is guilty in a court of law. Once they can pick and choose who can serve or just throw them out, then why have an open elections. Our system is messed up enough. Convict him then throw him out.
Hate to bust your bubble, but Congress doesn't have any integrity to restore.
This Congress Republican members are doing a good job great job thank you... Please keep it up Don't stop...
Thanks to these honest reps for standing up for right!!
What I find the most disturbing is the acceptance that politicians can lie. That should not be allowed full stop. I want honest people running our house , senate , and executive office otherwise how can you trust the government
If santos gets away with this, I’ll never trust congress again.
👍❤️👋🏻🇩🇰
That’s why I don’t vote anymore. Everyone lies or they don’t fulfill the promise, why have those people in power. If I vote it’s bc I’d rather have the better of two evils
Once people accepted that a President could publicly lie on a daily basis, what did you expect would happen next?
But he looking at sensitive information!!!!!
It’s a shame McCarthy has no integrity and didn’t force Santos to resign.
Thank you all.. it really shouldn't be this difficult to expel someone as despicable as santos.
Well presented. I hope they can pull it off.
MTG next please!
👏👏👏👏 you are all American patriots! Thank you
I would use a different term than Patriots Americans now seem to associate that with the attempted takeover on January 6th
That's their job.
@@janncoons7445 point taken...you are right...maybe uncorrupted politicians? 🙂 They're freshman give'm a couple terms they may fall in line...I hope not but power corrupts
@@janncoons7445 no “patriots” is exactly the right word. MAGA can’t steal that like they apparently did with our flag.
@@janncoons7445 not letting them take that word and twist it. I call those from Jan 6 traitors.
Santos is clearly a very disturbed individual and thus should not have access to anything that needs to be secret.
Yes, he is going to sell as soon as he can. 😮
Santos doesn't have the character or ethics to be given a laundromat job, sucking farts out of underwear. I'm still stunned that McCarthy pretends he's powerless bc Santos's constituents voted him in. Um, no - they voted in a college-educated finance wiz & volleyball superstar who could have taken it pro, had he not suddenly been stricken with the insatiable urge to serve his fellow man. And folks in his district might not even have voted for a guy who run the campaign under his real name. It's all still a big mystery because when asked, he went from running away & pretending the press corp didn't exist, to acting all peevish and wounded when they called out his lies, to popping off with sarcasm and sashaying into the elevator without answering their question. He's loving this, because he's earning big money (to do an "honest" job, even!) & getting more attention than he can handle.
Exactly!!
YET, Speaker McCarthy gave Santos this.
She nailed it. "Elected under false pretenses." The voters bought his lies and elected him on that basis. Yet another example of how freakishly weird and scary American politics can be. Thank goodness that here in Canada our politicians are banal and boring.
I am sure you have some cross members in the cloak room tonight
Yet a US president is not held to the same standards.
I like boring. If I want drama I'll watch a movie.
Edit:
Or maybe some hockey.
I was thinking the same thing. Every time Santos says he was elected, I want to yell "no... they elected a college educated, Jewish man that worked for Citigroup, is successful in business, knows the pain of losing a parent on 9/11, has experienced the horror of a hate related mass shooting and raises money for pet charity."
They wanted someone of that character to represent them and George Santos is none of those.
@@alienonion4636 you want boring? American football ...
Applause for members of Congress showing integrity and STANDING UP for truth, standing against fraud and corruption.
These five representatives give me the first breath of hope I've had. Godspeed and may your careers flourish! Agreed with an earlier comment: they should be the members of the Ethics Committee!! SHAME on the seasoned so-called "leadership" who do nothing but suck up for their own personal agenda, while selling our democracy down the river to idiots and con artists!
Very well said. Thank You.
The fact that Republican leadership in the House has allowed Santos access to classified information *scares the hell out of me.*
Exactly! It’s probably being used for something nefarious for that party!
MTG is on Homeland Security! That should terrify you!
Margie Traitor Green.
@@emmyo6678 Oh, it does.
Me too and they have all lied
You are also aware Trump had all the nuke codes?
Having people like MTG, Boebert, Gosar, Scott & Johnson all need to go.
You are right they are a danger to your country
You forgot to add Cruz to that list.
Forgot Gym Jordan
Add McCarthy, Jordan, Gaetz, Cruz, Rubio and Hawley to this list!!
Don’t forget Zinke and Rosendale , a crook and a loon.
Mr. Romney said everything which has to be said......more members of the GOP should speak out that clear as well.
Brilliant. Make every GQP member of the house vote NOT to expel Santos on record, so their voters can’t ignore such lack of backbone or integrity!!
Better late than never. I can't believe Kevin McCarthy gave him positions on committees.
He gave that 'creature' MTG position, so no surprise there, for me Geoff. Sad to say.
Thank you, Mitt Romney. 🙏 🇺🇸.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy also needs to be expelled.
CLASSIFIED INFO TO SANTOS!!!!! WHO SIGNED OFF ON THAT GENIUS IDEA????????
McCarthy.
That should apply to the speaker, Jim Jordan, MTG, Boebert , Lindsey Graham, Scott, Brooks, Hawley, and others for insurrection!!!
Amen!
Yes please
Maybe insist on lie sensing shock collars...
Expel all of them!
All Traitors
Yea this is amazing to see how he made it this far! Crazy
What else could he lie about? It's frightening.
Good for them! Hope they succeed.
It should not be taking so long. As Mitt Romney indicated, Santos did not "embellish", he "lied". He has no business being where he is.
LMFAO. Since when is lying a reason to get "expelled" from Congress.
@@toddfarkman2177 You are defending a person lying about the college they attended and claiming that it isn't a reason to get fired from their job? Just checking.
@@Darbobski I'm defending State's rights and the rule of law. If a State wants to elect a Nazi wife-beater, that's their prerogative. Otherwise, our Democracy is a sham. It's one reason we had a Civil War.
@@toddfarkman2177Not “lying”. Lying all the time about everything. As much as your average congressman lies, it does not usually rise to this level and be so easily provable. How can anyone believe anything Santos says, unless you take that kind of behavior as being some kind “swag”, some kind of “being a boss” or some other bullshit like that.
@@toddfarkman2177 If the "Nazi Wife-Beaater" tells constituents that they are one and then gets elected, then you'd be correct. As it is, you are about as off base as you can be.
Thanks to you all! Santos must go!
I thank these congressmen for being impeccable with their words and truth of who they are!!!
Congressfolk or Congresscritters. There are one or two women in the line-up.
Finally! There are members of congress who actually have a spine! It’s a pity for the republicans that McCarty is not one of them.
It Only takes one of them to dethrone McCarthy and vote in an honorable Speaker. Watch what they do,.....not what they say.
Exactly
So sad that McCarthy didn’t stand up to do this sooner. Oh I forgot …he’s only about the votes and his own personal power
It's hard to stand up without a backbone.
McCarthy will have to cross his fingers behind his back to proceed with somebody’s else’s wrongdoing .
VERY PROUD OF THESE CONGRESS MAN. GET HIM OUT
Finally, some damn leadership in the house. Thank you.
A shot of reality, sanity returns. Well done America.
Sanity? Lmfao 🤣.
America is a clown show, culture snd society.
It will last 2 seconds and the Bat 💩 crazy again.
You mean well done USA 🇺🇸 😊America is north central and south america
Filed with the "Ethics Committee?" In the repug lead congress? Hahahahaha!!! That's rich. They don't have "ethics." Look no further than Empty G, Boobert, Scott, Johnson, Gomert, Gaetz, McCarthy, et al.
Seriously.....it's about effing time.
If only that move could be extended in the whole Congress, and SCOTUS!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
YES!
Excellent Idea!
13 for SCOTUS, please.
And, "Root Out" MoRe of the Trumb•SCUM! 🐗
Thank you freshmen! We need new blood to represent us!
Now do M Traitor Greene.
All of those things that were listed that make George Santos sick, should also make Kevin McCarthy just as sick for allowing it to stand and never speaking a word.
Thank you Patriots 👍
No room for dishonesty.
Do the right thing. ASAP!!
New Hampshire 🇺🇲✌️
This GUY is going to get TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS..... INSANE!!
Yes, the recipe that KFC uses on the chicken.
@@HelenHumphries damn I want that
@@HelenHumphries 😂😂😂
I would not trust sanniman with a menu from chickycheese never mind classified docs do the congress wrap tacos in these documents and give out
McCarthy gave him the nuclear launch codes. Password is 1234ABCD
