Former GOP congressman thinks George Santos should be a ‘pariah’

Former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh says Representative-elect George Santos of New York is a "total fraud" after Santos admitted to fabricating sections of his resume – including his past work experience and education – and has apologized but says he intends to serve in Congress.

  1. Santos committed fraud in Brazil to buy shoes for his boyfriend. He moved to the USA and married a woman only to divorce her 2 weeks before announcing his campaign. He also didn’t clarify how he received money for his campaign either. Green card fraud and campaign money fraud are minimum two things needs investigation

    1. None of that apparently matters to Republicans. As long as he says he supports Donald Trump, he’s going nowhere. Party over country, all of them.

    2. He doesn’t own any property (lives with his sister) and yet was somehow able to loan $700,000 to his campaign. Something doesn’t smell right.

  2. I think he should be removed. If anyone else lies on their resume they don’t get to keep their job.

    1. Are you seriously trying to spew hatred at Trump without having THE NERVE TO CHECK OUT THE VERY EVIDENCE THAT’S NOT ONLY IN YOUR FACE.. BUT THE ENTIRE NATION (EVEN WORLD!) TO SEE…???? HOW ARE THERE SOOOOOOO MAAANNYYYYY IDIOTS WHO WANNA BE THESE “FIERCE FIGHTERS”… (for the so called “truth”) and yet… Here yall are… refusing to look at or watch truth…. Just keep burying your head in the perverbial sand….. Does JOE himself have to come knock on your NOGGIN… AND TELL U… I’M SRY… BUT EVERYTHING THEY SAID IS TRUE…. 🙄🤔😕😏🤣🙄🙄

  3. The party of ‘religious values’ loves breaking the ten commandments on a daily basis. Such a pro-God party! So pro-God I’m tearing up.

    1. I hear he stuffed his gigantic dildo with quotes from the new testament, for a penentrating spiritual feeeeeeeeel.

    2. They also totally ignore the Christ’s directives in “The Sermon on the Mount”…caring for poor, sick, elderly, homeless……….

    3. The bible states be weary of false profits this is exactly what they where talking about but for some reason too many people overlook it because they are just as false so it’s fair to say the GOP is the party of false profits.

    1. Expel Santos for lying on his application for senate candidacy just like everyone else is for lying on employment applications.

    1. Absolutely has all the the credentials. Just give em the nuclear codes now. Nothing to see here at the circus.

    2. @steveo R President Biden had to drop out of the 1987 Presidential Primary because he lied about the number of acedemic degrees he had and his class position rank….. He has also has been condemned for plagiarism of acedemic work and parts of speeches…. It is all documented and even on you tube as journalists of the time discuss the situation. You are just not bright enough to know your own propaganda.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  4. If you lied to get any other job that would be instant grounds for dismissal. As he has now admitted to lying to get this public position then he should be instantly terminated and the position re-advertised

  5. “I’m not a fraud.” Fraud = a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities. … The guy just lied again!!

    1. @Harold Moore Biden claimed that he traveled 17,000 miles with the Chinese president. He claimed that inflation had ended and that the economy is the fastest growing in the world, while economic trends predict a recession. He claimed that he cut the federal debt in half. Actually, he was talking g about the deficit. While the deficit did go down after the rise in spending because of COVID, his actions has doubled it. He claimed that gas was $5 a gallon when he took office. He claimed that the Trump tax cuts benefited the top 1%. He has claimed that unemployment is the lowest in 50 years. He claimed that he raised social security payments for the first time in 10 years. Actually, social security has been rising every year, with the exception of 2016, since 2012. The only reason for the record rise this year, is because of a law, dating from 50 years ago, linking social security payments to inflation. Which is the highest in 40 years. He has said the border is secure.. he said that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was a success, that Congress passed his student loan forgiveness plan, and that the Inflation Reduction Act will bring inflation down. He claimed that he was arrested on his way to see Nelson Mandala and that his son Beau died in Iraq. Need I go on?

    2. @Harold Moore what a ridiculous statement. CNN, MSNBC and others lie so much it’s embarrassing. It’s not the Republicans believing those lies. It’s democrats unaware that they’re being lied to. That’s even worse. Staring at TV or online and just falling for every lie without looking further for some truth. Done even bring up Fox to me. They lie as well. Any media with an agenda towards any political party tells lies and push propaganda on their listeners. Everyone should research any news story they deem questionable.

    3. @SCOTT NIERLING All I said was “no law against it”. And now watching people lose their sh*t over it. LOL. The problem is we have ZERO direct control over Congress. WE should be the ones that write their rules of conduct, how they divie up the comities appointments, what pay they receive, pensions, ethics, and critically, TERM LIMITS. This country is the only Western democracy that does not have a system of national referendum. We desperately need one.

  6. “I’m a liar lying about lying”, should be the new Republican motto. Because, not one GOP stood up against Santos (if that’s his name….).

    1. @bowserlamont2538 
      So Santos a 100% liar .
      Warren has told a few herself.
      Only LIAR close to Santos is Trump .

    2. Repent…believe in Jesus. John 3:16 KJV – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
      Luke 13:3 KJV – I tell you nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
      John 3:3 KJV – “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

    1. @Butch Go After Donald Trump was elected president American politics became a joke. Trump has spawned candidates like George Santos, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Lauren Boebert, and to a certain extent some on the far left like AOC and Rashida Tlaib. However, there is a difference between the far right and far left candidates. For the most part the far-right candidates thus far have proven themselves to be huge liars about their past, their resumes or simply wackos.

    2. Did you totally forget what the BIDEN EMPRISE WAS ALL ABOUT??? ONCE AGAIN… HERE WE ARE WITH (WHAT TRUMP SOOOOO ADEQUATELY CALLED OUT AS FAKE!) a DISGRACE OF TRUE “NEWS”.. And merely covering up the TRUE NEWS… BIDEN IS A NON STOP LIAR… HAS A TOTALLY CORRUPT FAMILY (AND FAMILY NAME!) AND EVEN THO THESE VERY VIDEOS CONFIRM HE’S THE BIGGEST LIAR/EMBELLISHER OF ANY PUBLIC OFFICE RESUME
      ….. YOU CHOSE.. LITERALLY… A TOTAL LIAR… OVER A MAN WHO… EVEN THO YOU WANNA DESPERATELY REFUTE HIM.. TOLD THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH (WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS RUTHLESS TEXTS! REALLY??? LOL).. WHO THE HELL CARES! DONALD IS SOOO BEYOND YOUR CAPABILITIES AS THE TRUE LEADER OF THIS GREAT NATION… YOUR NOTHING MORE THAN A LYING FOOTNOTE TO OUR NATION’S BIGGEST DISASTER SINCE 2016…. I’M SO SRY FAKE NEWS CAN’T CHANGE THAT…. IF THEY TRIED… SRY FOLKS… THE NATION HAS SPOKEN…. PACK YOUR BAGS…

    1. No, he’s a liar, and a fraud. He lied to intentionally get something (votes, and a seat in Congress) – that is the textbook definition of being a fraud.

  7. The “Jew-ish” line had me rolling 😂. It shouldn’t be funny but my god, it makes total sense he’s in the Republican Party. The voters should be irate. Too bad they won’t because he has an R in front of his name.

    1. Maybe he needs two black eyes, since reason doesn’t work for him. Just suggesting. Or triple his dildo capacities to improve the depth of his reasoning.

    2. I doubt his grandparents are Jewish as Santos claims. Not Jew-ish, but Jewish. He also claimed that his mother had been in the World Trade Center the day of the 9-11 attacks. Another fabrication.

    3. DrJ2002– ” Jew-ish” line is NOT funny !! We are talking about the USA House of Representatives in Congress !! We are not talking about a new sit- com !!

    4. It’s not original. No surprise here: he stole that from a stand up routine. I’m pretty sure it was Bill Maher joking about coming from a split Catholic/Jewish household.

    5. @Faking a Nerve Religion in this country is a mile wide and an inch deep. What’s funny to me is when an atheist has to explain the Bible to an evangelical “Christian.”

  8. To say “everyone” lies on their resume is a falsehood of staggering proportions. If this is the practice among his peer group, then every last one of them should be investigated by their employers.

    1. I agree Luann. Lying on your resume may not be punishable in politics but when he leaves Congress, that’s where his troubles WILL start.

  9. If he lies so easily about his background and qualifications, how can anyone be sure his business dealings are all legitimate?

  10. I can’t believe he said with a straight face: “I’m not a fraud”, Kevin McCarthy “Welcome to the club George, your background and reputation will just fit right in with us”

    1. I can’t believe he said with a straight face: “I’m not a fraud”, Kevin McCarthy “Welcome to the club George, your background and reputation will just fit right in with us”

  11. “I’m not a criminal, I’m not some mythical being…” At which point the interviewer needs to ask “would you call yourself a liar?”

  12. Lying all the way to the top. Is this the way that the GOP wants to set standards for our young people. Teaching them that unscrupulous behavior is acceptable. What a shame

  13. Every journalist needs to ask Kevin McCarthy how he can, with any semblance of integrity and honesty, seat George Santos!
