    Like Trump, Santos never told the truth about anything, but remember that a majority of Republicans in the House, 112 of 222, voted not to expel him.

    He never once told the truth about anything at all. He lied to a reporter about what he had for lunch. He lied about where he got his hair done. He was incapable of even the slightest shred of honesty. He also stole from every pot he could reach into.

    There’s a reason it took conservatives a year of nonstop negative, embarassing press coverage before they did anything about it. They didn’t want to oust someone just for being a conservative.

    I’m honestly surprised it happened. I fully expected Republicans to continue to embrace his fraudster ass until the end of time. It’s weird to see just how far away they’re willing to draw the line, though. Like, it was known from the start that he was a fraud, and they were all onboard anyway.

      Don’t forget multiple felonies, including committing identity theft using information from donors.

    Of course when this clown shows up on Fox News, or OAN, touting his book or offering insight into government, no one watching will bother to remember that he was kicked out by his own party for wild fabrication and fraud.

      He’s definitely going to tell all cash in on the scathing secrets in a book for the low, low price of $24.99. Chapter 8 will shock you!

    No, to hell with YOU. The fact that your expulsion was at all contested given the evidence of your flagrant lawlessness should be a damning indictment of Congress itself. They’re so used to crooks that they don’t see a problem with adding another to their ranks.

    I simply don’t understand what everyone is so blind to. It’s like a blazing inferno of falsehood. Trump, Santos, DeSantis, Pelosi, Manchin, Sinema, ad nauseum.

    They’re all the same. Different brands, maybe. Different ideological camouflage, but the same. Why is this so hard to see?
