Speaker Mike Johnson talks to Santos "about his options” as the boot gets ready




House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has been in contact with that lying Rep. George Santos (R-NY) ahead of a possible removal from Congress following a damning House Ethics Committee report.

Johnson spoke to reporters in Sarasota, Florida and told the press that he had “spoken to Congressman Santos at some length over the holiday and talked to him about his options,” [H/T ScrippsNews)

If Santos gets the boot in the butt, he will be the first member of Congress to be expelled in more than twenty years.

If he somehow doesn’t get expelled, then Congress is as corrupt as the Biden administration.

Regarding the prospect of an expulsion vote this week, NBC News reported that Johnson said “it remains to be seen,” adding that lawmakers will be discussing the matter when they return from the Thanksgiving recess on Tuesday.

Santos was elected to his first term to represent Long Island district last November and thus helped the GOP win a slim majority in the House. However, his finances and balderdash created controversy and multiple inquiries grew which soon pressured him to leave office, which he said, at the time, that he never would.

Now the lying congressman has been handed 23 federal charges including aggravated identity theft, [which Joe Biden also seems to share as he says that he’s the President of the United States of America], wire fraud, and conspiracy. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, which is yet another lie, I believe.

Earlier this month the House Ethics Committee [an oxymoron] released a report saying investigators discovered evidence that Santos violated the House rules and criminal laws.

The gay, Hispanic, Jewish, Catholic, called the congressional inquiry a “smear,” and after the House Ethics report was released, he said that he wouldn’t seek reelection, but pledged, “I will continue on my mission to serve my constituents up until I am allowed.”

Here is a list of a few of his alleged lies in no particular order:
1. He never went to Horace Mann H.S. in the Bronx nor graduate in 2008, after which he said he went to Baruch College and graduated in 2010, in just two years of a four-year degree.
2. He lied to campaign donors and used their money to buy designer clothing.
3. He lied to get unemployment benefits.
4. He committed identity theft using the names of donor on credit cards.
5. Lied to Congress with many inconsistencies on his financial statement.
6. He reimbursed himself for loans he did not make.
7. He claimed to have worked on Wall Street for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup—no such records were found.
8. He lied about founding an animal charity “Friends of Pets United,” but there are no records of that company.
9. Swindled a disabled vet whose dog was dying—Richard Osthoff in 2016.
10. His grandmother was not a Holocaust victim, which he claimed.
11. He claimed he had employees who died in the Pulse shooting in 2016—not true.
12. Claimed he had a niece who was kidnapped in Queens, NY but that there is not record of that.



If this guy doesn’t remind you of Joe Biden, I don’t know who would.

Anyway, Santos survived many attempts by his GOP colleagues to expel him from the House this year, but this time may be different with House Ethics Chairman Michael Guest (R-MO) bringing forth another expulsion resolution with a growing number of lawmakers saying they would vote to get him out of the House.

Getting expelled from the House of Representatives is very rare, only being done a handful of times throughout U.S. history partly because it requires a two-thirds majority vote to be successful.

Santos said in a long X Spaces conversation Friday night that he would not resign, saying, “[I’d] admit [to] everything that’s on that report” by doing so. Yet the liar also predicted that he will be expelled from the House if another expulsion resolution goes to the floor for a vote. “I’ve done the math over and over, and it doesn’t look really good,” he said.

He probably doesn’t even do math.
