House Republicans are pinning their hopes on a last minute resignation from Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) to avoid what one top Republican said would be "tough votes" on expelling him.




...........................

Zoom in: Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.), the secretary of the House Republican Conference, said there is "quite a bit of debate, back-and-forth" among Republican about whether Santos has been given due process.

Another point that was discussed, she said, was "are we all going to play by the same rules," noting that Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) has not been expelled despite his own explosive indictment.

.........

The other side: Santos told reporters that Johnson asked in their phone call on Tuesday "how I was doing and if I had made my decision [on resignation]," and that he replied, "Yes, put up or shut up."

"All these members are pushing this. They want me to resign because they don't want to take this tough vote that sets the precedent to their own demise in the future," Santos said.....................................

1. Delightful!

The cur keeps barking, and hopefully will bite.

2. What a bunch of fucking cowards.

If Santos, or DeVolder, or whatever the fuck his name is, were a Democrat, he would have been executed already.

The ENTIRE REPUKE party is a bunch of treasonous, Putin dick-smoking scumbags. I hate all of them with a white-hot passion I've never had for anything in my life.

(sorry to sugar coat it. ...)

5. Completely agree

Repugs have lowered the ethics and morality bar so low, they can't even get rid of a self-admitted lawbreaker.

3. "the precedent to their own demise" - there's a powderkeg in the kitchen!

This guy has no filters, no clue as to what's reasonable, historically normal. No sense of shame, guilt, social or institutional norms. It would be ironic indeed if such an entity essentially blew up the Republican conference with his alleged knowledge of inside scandals.

7. We can only hope.

4. Maybe Trump can choose him for VP

6. I can't decide if Santos wants Trump to pick him as VP or adopt him as a son.

8. George Santos is a chaos agent ... why would he resign?

Why would he want to do something that would make their jobs easier?
He has been a waste of space since Day One.

9. Resign? As in: 'I was wrong. You got me. I feel ashamed.'

all the way!
