Quote HistoryQuoted: Since the GOP is the party that loves losing, yes. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/01/ohio-rep-max-miller-calls-for-embattled-new-york-rep-george-santos-to-resign https://nypost.com/2023/01/11/ny-gop-rep-nick-lalota-calls-for-george-santos-to-resign Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: BTW, are they really an R if they want to remove one of their own and replace him with a D? Since the GOP is the party that loves losing, yes. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2023/01/ohio-rep-max-miller-calls-for-embattled-new-york-rep-george-santos-to-resign Rep. Max Miller, a Republican from Rocky River, is joining a group of New York congressional representatives in calling for Rep. George Santos to resign from Congress. “I believe voters have the right to hold government officials to the very highest standard of honesty and trustworthiness,” Miller said in a statement Thursday evening. “The people’s representatives must respect the need for transparency and candor with Americans. It is not okay to fabricate or lie for political gain.” Miller’s statement also refers to claims, apparently false, from Santos that he is of Jewish heritage and descended from Holocaust survivors. Santos since has backtracked, telling the New York Post he is “Jew-ish.” Miller, meanwhile, is a member of one of Cleveland’s most prominent Jewish families. “This is especially true when the lie seeks benefit from the murder of millions of Jewish people. I do not believe George Santos can effectively serve and should resign,” Miller said. https://nypost.com/2023/01/11/ny-gop-rep-nick-lalota-calls-for-george-santos-to-resign Freshman Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY) joined other New York Republicans on Wednesday in demanding Rep. George Santos (R-NY) resign, calling him “unworthy of the office.” “What he’s done is disgraceful, dishonorable and unworthy of the office. I think he should resign,” LaLota told Axios on Wednesday. The Long Island congressman added that Santos’ antics since arriving in DC under a cloud of controversy stemming from his lies about his religion, education, and employment history underline the need for him to step down. “He hasn’t shown any remorse, he hasn’t corrected any of the behavior. He still has antics like showing a white power sign on the House floor. It’s not appropriate for our conference, for our country,” LaLota said. Sad but true. I just laugh when the Neo-Cons talk about honor. |

Is this only going to be for national politicians or can we bring it to the state level also?
https://michiganrisingaction.org/2020/01/28/fact-check-gov-gretchen-whitmers-broken-promises/ THE FACTS Broken Promise: As a gubernatorial candidate and governor, Whitmer has repeatedly promised she would “Fix the damn roads.” Outcome: As governor, Whitmer vetoed $375 million in spending that was appropriated for roads and bridges. What Happened: During her campaign, Gretchen Whitmer often touted her call to ‘fix the damn roads’ and simultaneously called the idea of raising taxes to do it, “ridiculous.” Fast forward to Whitmer’s first budget cycle as governor where she proposed a 45-cent gas tax increase that was opposed by both parties in the legislature. After the legislature appropriated $375 million for roads, Whitmer vetoed it along with other critical services – and diverted additional road funds to transit in hopes to negotiate for her failed tax increase. https://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/news/whitmer-didnt-raise-gas-taxes-but-not-for-lack-of-trying Whitmer didn’t raise gas taxes, but not for lack of trying She dismissed the idea she would raise taxes by 20 cents per gallon, then pushed for 45 cents FACT CHECK: While it’s true Gov. Whitmer stated she wanted to “Fix the Damn Roads,” she scoffed at the notion she was proposing a gas tax increase during the 2018 election. Whitmer stated: “That’s ridiculous and you know it” when her opponent said she would be proposing a 20-cent gas tax increase to fund her promises. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Every American and politician should want that dude removed. The fact that every Republican isn’t on board with it is the problem with politics and it absolutely goes both ways. I agree but why would the repubs get on board when we know the dems would not and have not called for their own members to be removed when it was found out they were liars. As I recall the closest the dems got to calling for someone to be removed was when the dems of VA wanted the former Dem governor to step down after his black face issue. They said he was DOA and no one would work with him. He did not step down and the dems worked with him. It has to be a two way street and despite Santos's lies he was elected by the people of that district and only they should be able to take him down. |

U.S. Representative George Santos, who lied about much of his resume and life story, will be removed from Congress if found to have broken campaign finance laws, fellow Republican and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said on Sunday.

There are three ways to get rid of him, and only one is very likely; a recall election in his own state, impeachment by Congress or to simply wait and elect somebody else next time, the most likely outcome.

I hate the idiots that pretend there are some moral standards left in politics and would use that against their own party when the very top of the Democratic Party is filled with people with far more significant lies. |

Who does he get replaced with? A far left democrat, I know same same, correct? Are his lies any worse than their lies? Better question how does he vote? Does any of it really matter if he votes the right way? |

https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2023/01/15/gop-rep-bacon-on-santos-if-it-was-me-i-would-resign
Representative Don Bacon (R-NE) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” he would resign if he had been caught telling lies like Rep. George Santos (R-NY). Anchor Jonathan Karl said, “I have to ask about George Santos. His lies are so numerous that they’re easy to lose track of. I want to tick through just a couple. He claimed that he was Jewish and the grandson of Holocaust survivors. He claimed to have attended Horace Mann Prep School in the Bronx. He did not. He said he graduated from Baruch College in the top 1% of his class, and he was the star volleyball player on the team, volleyball scholarship. He never attended the school. He claimed he worked for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup and didn’t. He said his company lost four employees at the Pulse nightclub shooting. He did not. He claimed his mother’s death was somehow tied to 9/11. This also appears to be false. There are many more. I could go forward. Should he resign? I mean, should he be in Congress?” Bacon said, “If it was me, I would resign. I wouldn’t be able to face my voters after having gone through that. But this is between him and his constituents, largely. They elected him in, and they have to deal with him on that. But I don’t think his re-election chances will be that promising depending on how he handles this.” |
