    Dan Goldman, an incoming congressman, NY 10, and former federal prosecutor, said in a statement that it’s possible Santos could be guilty of two federal crimes:

    conspiracy to defraud the United States and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission.

    He pointed to the past fraud conviction against Santos in Brazil, as reported by the Times, as an example of the “urgent need” to investigate his actions.
    “I therefore urge the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and the FBI to initiate an investigation into Santos’s apparent campaign lies,” Goldman said.​

    These are the ones who were part of the coup. No surprise those right wingers can't give a leader willing to fight for his country an ounce of respect.

    the same way they told everyone not to get the vaccine, yet they all took it no problem, no questions asked

    they play their audience and then laugh at how dumb they are as they check their bank account

    I've dated a Jewish girl and I enjoy a bunch of their food.

    I'm Jew-ish too! I never knew!

    The state of the Republican Party can be symbolized by Gov. Abbott one of their stars inhumanely dumping off immigrants, some with only T-shirts, in 7 below zero weather.

    A politician telling a lie is one thing, and basically expected and tolerated.

    A politician turning his whole life into a lie is something a bit different.

    No, that one's fine right here in the D&D.

    I bet there's even a thread to keep track of Matt Gaetz's beady-too-close-together eyes and his 5-head, and his predilection for trafficking underage girls across state lines.

    I expect my politicians to lie about what they are going to do once they get into office. It is normal on both sides and we all know this. Now some of us are hopeful the first-timers mean what they say while campaigning because they don't know how things really work once they hold public office. This guy would be fired before day one at any company. The problem is how does one determine what should exclude an individual after an election has been completed? I think Congress should get together and remove him.

    Agreed, not only should he resign but the top gop members should call for him to be removed....he literally lied about almost everything. I`ve embellished on my resume, but small things like a gpa bump but I didn't make up that I even went to school......this is the epitome of the gop right now, doesn't matter how ya got there, just that ya got there
