this man genuinely is a lying addict, his brain needs to be studied holy shit. like, theres no reason to lie - no one believes you. why do it? avoiding awkwardness?? we all know you have no chance winning an election again after the stars aligned for the biggest fluke in american history to land in one of the tighest houses in american history.

"Instead, I plan to declare my candidacy for the Imperial Senate, representing the planet Naboo"

Whoever stood for this chucklefuck in the district primaries should be shot with a ball of their own shit.

This is George Santos we’re talking about. I’ll believe this once the election is over and he hasn’t been elected as a write-in or some bullshit like that.

He’ll probably find a way to get himself appointed to something anyway.

"as my family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time"

Bo-ho. If you had not done what you had, press would not care to investigate. But in typical Republican asshole manner, he pushes his family in front of him as the "victims".

How dare you even try to hold me accountable! I was told we weren't doing that anymore.

How dare you criticize the son of the late Queen and grandson of Abraham Lincoln. You show some damn respect for his bravery in World War I and his Intergalactic Medal of Honor.

As one of the few astronaut-ai researcher representatives, it will be hard to see him go. However, I’m glad to see he’s leaving to focus more on his efforts to keep the earth safe from Skeletor and the forces of Cobra.

There won't be enough republicans who are willing to expel a fellow republican. The margin on their majority is very thin.

I like how when federal congresspeople do wrong by their constituents, or even break the law, there's no way for their constituents to recall them and our federal legislature isn't functional enough to expel people who lie, incite insurrection, and have relations with underage people. Seems really healthy. There is no democracy in this country.

GOP, party of law, until one of their own is breaking the law, then they'd rather maintain majority rather than expel one of their own.

Lol. I can't believe he was able to stay as long as he did. So bizarre.

George Santos should already be in jail for his pervasive fraud.

Fabulist is a wonderful word

But he will keep any retirement benifits from having been in congress
