The New York Republican congressman, fabulist and criminal defendant George Santos said he would not seek re-election next year, after the US House ethics committee issued a report detailing “grave and pervasive campaign finance violations and fraudulent activity” and recommended action against him.
“I will NOT be seeking re-election for a second term in 2024 as my family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time,” Santos said, calling the report “biased” and “a disgusting politicised smear”.
But after the report detailed his conduct, moves to introduce a new expulsion resolution began.
“Representative Santos sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House candidacy for his own personal financial profit,” the committee said.
Whoever stood for this chucklefuck in the district primaries should be shot with a ball of their own shit.
Well there is a mental image I won’t be able to unsee for a while. Not that I disagree….
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.
I heard he was going to focus on his dance career and many non profits.
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.
Lol. I can’t believe he was able to stay as long as he did. So bizarre.
Maybe he is in some kind of weird secret contest to see the craziest thing he can get away with. Him and trump both lol
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.
he’s gonna run for may of prison, watch.
There won’t be enough republicans who are willing to expel a fellow republican. The margin on their majority is very thin.
Hell, in the last vote to sanction him, more Democrats than Republicans voted against the sanctions. I don’t even know what the fuck that was all about.
I think the idea was “he’s innocent until proven guilty” and removing him would start a bad precedent of ejecting people for illegitimate reasons. But now there’s an ethics report from a bipartisan committee saying he’s a bag of shit so they can say they’ve done their due diligence and claim it isn’t a knee-jerk political decision.

Right? I’ll believe it when I see it next election cycle
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.
Fabulist is a wonderful word
