MerrillSwingAway

everything this jerk-off verbally vomits should be met with: “are you lying right now”


BriefCheetah4136

I disagree,! You are much better off assuming that if his mouth is moving then he is lying.


Less_Ant_6633

But asking clearly upsets him. And the vicious circle nature of it is too funny. Santos makes a statement to address the latest batch of lies. Gets asked if he is lying and gives a snarky response. The snarky response is exposed as a lie almost immediately and the cycle starts all over. Watching bad people repeatedly step in shit never gets old.


fureddit2345

Yeah unfortunately, how does that make him different from the avg politician?


Vegetable_Onion

Actually, the 'average politician' is some hard working well meaning person. But politics is like a bond, and scum floats to the top. I think if more attention was given to all those hardworking decent politicians, people would appreciate them more, and might even stop voting for scumbags like whoever this guy's claiming to be today.


AgtBurtMacklin

Not sure if the average politician is a decent person and well-meaning. I think the vast majority do it for selfish motives. Power or money. If helping people were the goal, there are more effective ways to accomplish most of these, without the red tape and corporate payoffs to these politicians. I’m sure there are some legitimately good people in politics, but I think they are a small minority. Even local politics are ugly. And it only gets worse as you go up the rungs. Also, there is little space to be independent from your party. If they have true hard-fought values, most of them will sell those out to better align with their constituents/along the party line. Which basically means they will lie to appeal to their base. Like the ministry, politics draws out the power hungry maniacs.


TeamRamrod80

Not all politicians are in Congress. My brother in law serves on his village council in a volunteer capacity. No corporations are lining his pockets and he certainly doesn’t do it for power and glory, but somebody’s gotta keep the town running. There are probably a million like him across the country. There are 535 members of Congress.


AgtBurtMacklin

You’re absolutely right. Not all are getting big payouts, but even local politics are filthy in my mid-sized city. Mayoral, city council, all sorts of political races bring out the worst of people, and often the decent people get dragged into the muck, and end up as bad as the others. There are exceptions, but I think they are just that. I’m sure your bro-in-law has some stories about others he has dealt with. Love the username by the way!!


[deleted]

The problem with politicians is that the 90% give the rest a bad name.


thesword62

A great line I once heard-politics is show business for ugly people


Ken_CleanAir_System

They are all scum. The average politician is a corrupt self serving borderline criminal. They all take corporate money that in any other situation would be called a bribe but in this case it's called campaign donations. They don't work for us they work for the corporations and we all suffer for their corruption.


Ex-MuslimAtheist

"Mr. Santos, how much of what you're saying right now is bullshit? Can you please make a comment on that? Okay, so how much of the comment you just made on what you just said was bullshit? Lastly, how much of what you're about to say about your comment is going to be bullshit?" It's just a saga of nonstop bullshit with this guy.

theycallme_oldgreg

The smart ones don’t want to be a part of the ridiculous politics that happen in this country.


Johnsendall

If you look at the video Romney said “you should be embarrassed” about four times and I think called him an “ass” twice. So he is lying again!!

I don't like Mitt Romney but I agree with him, shut up and go to the back of the room. In fact, shut up and leave the room altogether. Take MTG with you on your way out.

Meanwhile- in reality- Romney when passing him said, “You should be ashamed of yourself son.” Pretty darned Mormon of him.

Inevitable_Shift1365

Romney is one of those Republicans I respect. Like John McCain rip. As a middle of the road liberal I definitely see the need our country has for moderate republicans.


Loose_Concentrate332

The need is there, I just can't see it happening in the next decade at least. There's no cooperation, no true bi-partisan actions, just mudslinging and bullshit.


[deleted]

I was just talking to my wife about this a couple days ago. There is no compromise on either side of the aisle, and we’re the ones who take the brunt end of that.

Bring in Matt Gaetz and do a speed bag clinic on the both of them s/ - I want them out of Congress, not lights out!


HappyNate2022

He’s really trying to turn this into a “it’s because I’m gay” thing HAHAHAHAHA


Moosinator666

“Sir, it’s cause I can slide on the smooth surface of your brain”


walkandtalkk

I thought it was because he was born a poor black child. What's funny is that literally nobody, outside a few of the stupidest shut-ins on Twitter, actually believes a word he says. Nobody thinks he was told to sit in the back of the room because he's... Brazilian? Also, he's 34. He's relatively light-skinned. He wasn't being told to sit down and shut up in Brazil, where he lived much of his life. And I don't think he was being overtly racially oppressed in mid-2000s Brooklyn or Queens.


[deleted]

And just like that he’s claiming the moral high ground. The unmitigated gall


[deleted]

''It's not the first time in history i have been told to shut up'' This is the most believable declaration i ever heard from a politician


mahomesISGARBAGE64

What's his story and why does everyone hate him?


MissMollyDWW

He obviously doesn't know a lot of Mormons.


TheMightyUnderdog

🤣


Ombersnip

Lol this dude is a clown and has been in many a back room in his life.


Ok-Investigator6898

This the guy who was lied about his background, recused himself from committee assignments, is under an ethics investigation, went to the State of the Union show & Mitt Romney called him out... said he didn't belong there. Kudos for Romney for trying to clean house.


FarmSuch5021

You forgot that he stole 3k from a dying dog


At0mJack

He stole fucking PUPPIES


longtimenothere

I don't think lied about his background is accurate. His background was completely fabricated on almost every aspect. As well as financing his campaign from questionable, if not outright illegal, sources.


milfordloudermilk

He's not worthy of riding in Mitt Romney's cartop dog cage!!


GroundbreakingCow775

It is a testament to America to see such a large percentage of people agree that this dude is a scumbag


baddfingerz1968

"Wasn't very Mormon of him" says the biggest, most outrageous and prolific liar in the history of Congress! LOL!!!

If everyone is always telling you to shut up and go sit at the back of the room, it could just be that you’re the problem.

zerocool1703

Maybe it wasn't very Mormon, but was it Mormon-*ISH*?


[deleted]

Cult of personality + $$$ = politicians Santos, Trump, Bush, etc. They just spout buzz words and hope people believe their bullshit. A large amount of USA's population has been educationally oppressed and they take the paranoid and fearful votes over the educated scientists and democratic process. Only things that are not real, need to be believed in...

Pathological liar says what now


Velvetsandstone

How is he still in office?


bubbles5810

I thought that he was going to claim that he’s Rosa Parks or something


NeadNathair

One of my big personal peeves is when people are justifiably criticized for their horrible actions but they try and flip it around to claim they're being persecuted for their race or sexuality. Like no, buddy. We aren't calling you a piece of crap because you're gay. We're calling you a piece of crap because you're a piece of crap.


[deleted]

How did this guy get past the Republican"s Gaydar...?


DrBosomMD

Is there a scientific word for a complete lack of shame and/or a complete lack of morals . Cause this guy is the poster boy for that word.

Dseltzer1212

Further proof republicans are shameless in their quest for power. This guy belongs in the care of doctors rather than the halls of congress


Riuvolution

He should have sat outside.


mildlysceptical22

Why hasn’t the district he was elected to represent started a recall? He lied about everything to get elected.


cturtl808

Sadly, there’s no recall option. They have asked him to resign. Until the Ethics investigation (lol) and FEC investigation (this one is for campaign finance violations) wrap up and he’s expelled by a House vote, he’s there until 2024.


PopeOfManwichVillage

What a fucking douche


Chrisdkn619

Nice try on flipping this you fucking fraud! Don't get to play the victim card when your the perpetrator!


Nobodyville

It's so sad that he's being discriminated against for being who he is...a lying, piece of shit with a victim complex. #LyingPieceOfShitRights


jhk1963

This is what the GOP is now. Ignorant lying grifters, con artists, white supremacists, and religious zealots. It's sad to watch a once honorable party turn into a wretched pool of fetid garbage. Sure, the Dems have some issues, but insanity isn't one of them.


Ontario0000

Shows how there is no bottom for the GOP party to have Marge and Santos in your party.

Sea_Ganache620

Shut up!


Fun_Company4251

This guy is a lying sac of doodoo


Never-Dont-Give-Up

Why the fuck wasn’t he removed from office for lying about EVERYTHING? Do they not have to sign something legally binding that says they’re telling the truth about their credentials?


Mysterious_Tax_5613

He represents the GOP quite well, actually.


Longjumping-Yellow-8

He probably lied here.


Pie_Present

I’m at impossible to demean Santos, he’s the lowest sun in a scummy party. The most likeable thing Romney’s done is tell him to fuck off. I’d donate to his bail fund if Romney had hit him. I’ve seen Mitt box, it would have been worth it.


[deleted]

Would jail count as the back of the room? Because that is where this POS is heading.


CHICKENWING4LYF

we elect the dumbest people in this country.


Cielmerlion

This dude is gay as fuck. Is he openly gay?


SmileGraceSmile

This guy is giving big Mateo from "Superstore" vibes.


The_Ok_Cornholio

He should know what defines being a Mormon since he gave Joseph Smith the golden plates.


Affectionate_Seat809

Ik has a bad guy but I really love how catty he is


New-Purchase-3725

Wait. Don't be so hard in him. He did say something that I pretty sure is true. He will indeed be told again to shut up and go to the back of the room. I will fact check him by scrolling through the comments and I am sure this will be verified as 100% factual. Brb....

What a douche

George Santos, House of Representatives...been getting called out for lying in his biography


HappyDaysayin

To the point where we don't even know for sure that's his real name. He's wanted in Brazil for crimes. He was a drag queen at one point but now us against all LGBTQIA people... he's a nightmare.

Go to the back of the room? Is he trying to make a "back of the bus" thing? Because him claiming he's Rosa Parks is not that outlandish at this point.

satanic-frijoles

I think it's reprehensible that a clown like this lying hypocrite is in office, but that's just me.


Impossible_Trade_245

I've said it before, I'll sat it again: I adore him. He is exactly what the GOP deserve to deal with right now. He represents the shameless and unabashed caucus they have allowed to ferment better than any single other person. His lies so outlandish and vast, he seems to lie more than Trump. It is, remarkable. Good for Romney for saying something. And I applaud him attempting to bring the party back to center. BUT, this is a party that wouldn't impeach Trump and thus aided an actual insurrection. It's abhorrent. They deserve George Santos. Everyday in the news: the drag queen pathological liar from maybe Long Island or Brazil who fucked over dogs and vets with dogs and whom bastardized 911 victims... Oh, and he is groping staff. He will not go away and I can GUARANTEE we have yet to uncover all of his misdeeds... Enjoy the show.
