Rep. George Santos (R-NY), who has refused to resign from Congress amid a second round of federal indictments, took to X on Wednesday to attack the handful of Republicans who introduced a resolution to expel him from the House of Representatives and warn that he could ruin their careers over it.
"I look very much forward to seeing the anti American attempt by WEAK RINOs to oust me without giving me my right to Due process," wrote Santos, who soon after being elected was exposed for having lied about almost every aspect of his personal background from his education to his work history. "Remember if Im in fact ousted fascism will officially be well and alive in the United States of America and these members will be the champions of it."
"I do want to remind my dear colleagues who all but one have deep long troubling careers in politics that I will have a lot of time on my hands to return the favor in the most expedient fashion mankind has ever seen," he continued. "Im done with the hypocrisy and the projection coming from the same individuals for the last 10 months! #PolitcalWarfare does not scare me, I find my strength in God and with him in my life all is possible."
Santos was already indicted earlier this year on charges that he misrepresented how he was spending donors' money, fraudulently obtained public unemployment benefits, and lied to Congress.

(26,257 posts)Voters who voted this thug into office don't really deserve this sort of representation (but they did vote him in). When will voters start seeing the republicans for what they really are, that they really don't care about the voters themselves, but to enrich themselves at voter expense?

Democrats should take full advantage to paint these assholes as bumbling incompetents who do not deserve to lead. Theyre too busy fighting over power positions to bother with what YOU need, America.

(41,631 posts)When he presented his initial petition of candidacy for the election, he was required to submit a list of 1,000 signatures of voters living in his district. That's the law and every new candidate is required to do it.
Somehow his list of voter signatures has never been examined to see if they are real or plagiarized. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that that list contains many fakes. Perhaps the entire list is as fake as he is.

(7,395 posts)What's he gonna use?
Money he claims to have, but doesn't really?
A heritage he claims but has been shown to be really false?
A power and standing he claims, but doesn't have, especially now that his "friend" McCarthy is gone from power?
The "Truth" after having been shown to have lied many times?
So, Georgey boy, what you gonna do? Call the Ghostbusters?

Women often use it against each other, over perceived slights or just plain envy.
Men might use it out of rivalry, or because they felt wronged (typically, by paying a woman to do it - since they're considered more adept at these things).

*I just realized that "Trumpian" is now a word at least according to spellcheck, Wikipedia, and Dictionary.com. The man has certainly left his mark, but not necessarily the way he wanted.

By the way, when Santos says hell have a lot a free time to seek revenge, I doubt that. Hes going to be tied up with his own voluminous legal troubles then hell be in prison (hopefully).
Kick his ass out of the Peoples House!

(9,990 posts)They desperately don't want him around as a party poster child next year. He has been propped up as a reliable vote amongst a very narrow majority, but nevertheless indicative of the moral chasm that the Republican party has fallen into. These days Santos has as much political capital as a salted banana slug. I'd guess that the "RINO's" he threatens must realize they have more to fear from formidable Democratic challengers than from the non-existent caricature of a candidate that somehow slipped through tracks during the last mid-term election.

In the end, justice will be done, but not before he and those like him can create so much damage it'll be near impossible to recover.
