Santos' arrogance is sickening! He should be rotting in jail!
i totally agree just sick
If he hadn't had such support from his GOP friends, he would have been a lot more modest.
He and the bulk of this rotten to the core GOP!
IN PRISON WITH TRUMP
" Calm Down"
Christ, this is so embarrassing that we don't have the balls to throw out a proven liar - not only a liar, but a thief who stole money from a veteran that was meant for that veteran's dying service dog. What the actual f**k, America?
Of course Matt Gates defends Santos .
calm down, what 's embarrassing is watching you think you can steal elections
@@modi4473 He wants to make it sound as if he defends the process but it is not unlikely that he is going to face the same process, and when that time arrives he can use some buddies who are going to return the favor. Those people are seasoned and hardened negotiators and they do nothing for free. Call it an investment in his own future.
US is laughing stock of the world
@@modi4473Gaets talking about honor and doing the Right thing is Rich.
Santos thinks this whole process is a game, a charade, but what this clown is failing to understand is that this is a cause of his own doing. He brought this all on and HE is the reason this whole process is even taking place. No admission, no accountability, no regret. He maintains his ability to continue to mock and deface the value of the United State Congress's reputation.
Exactly, Mark. Not one drop of remorse or shame. The only thing he seems to regret is getting caught. He is definitely laughing at this whole thing and I suspect the testimonials from his fellow dirtbags cause Santos to feel he has some leverage.
Yep. But he's a pathological lying narcissist. He will never admit wrongdoing, nor is he capable of empathy so he doesn't regret his actions at all! He is LOVING this attention and he will drag it out as long as possible.
It’s a game to him because that’s all he’s ever seen them do is play games. This should be taught in the history class next year
I absolutely agree.
Actions definitely have consequences. I want to see Santos convicted criminally and thrown in prison where his disgusting azz belongs
I agree.
It’s no surprise that Matt Gates defends the criminal behavior of Santos. They are both disgusting so called human beings. I will never understand why the hell the people of Ft Walton Beach keep electing Gaetz
George Santos has no shame. He is a perfect fit for today's Republican Party 🤨
😂😂 ya biden-obama hiding cocaine found in the Whitehouse. Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.
I totally agree
Me too!🙏
My thoughts exactly…
100% todays Republicans do nothing ... when was the last time they even put forward a policy to help everyday Americans?????
Santos for prison 2023!!
George Santos's voice has the same effect on me that trump's voice has, makes me wanna hurl!
I'll see your Santos and raise you one Cruz.
@@mulemuleI’ll see your Cruise and raise you a Gaetz.
Don’t forget MTG 🤢
@@pic101 I fold! 🤢
I see u a Santos n raise u a kennedy
Thank you Congressman D'Esposito (my Congressman) for pushing this resolution and beginning to clean the house.
He made a very impressive speech.
No wonder American citizens are disillusioned with members of Congress! Get rid of Santos already!
its embarrassing that it even took this long
It really is and he should never have gotten this far.
GOP is a clown show
Society became even more pathological leading up to and during the pandemic and remains in an atrophied state. When will the courageous rise from our collective ashes to rekindle our humanity?
💯
I disagree. These sorts of things should be a very deliberate process for two reasons; first, it assures that the decision to expel is fully justified by gathering all the facts and information possible. Second, it leaves no room for the accused and his supporters to claim that the decision was made hastily (as demonstrated by the arguments made by the ethics committee in this video).
Kick out all of Maga in congress.
reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
MAGA = Treason
If you drive drunk when you’re arrested they take your licenses away. You still get due process to fight the charges in court. But you don’t drive home that night, you lose the privilege to drive because of your apparent lawbreaking.
In a similar way Santos has lost his privilege to serve. He doesn’t get to wait til the next election or for the conclusion of a court case to determine what his punishment should be in a criminal case. He has lost his privilege to represent people in government because he has falsely and illegally acquired it.
@matthewgoetter3127 good point!
You about to lose your job, George. If any members vote to exonerate your behavior, they are guilty, or are complicit in your illegal acts.
They would have to expelled alot of others on both sides democrats and Republicans for criminal act such as Pelosi tearing up state of union papers which is a felony the bribes and such that others taken include Kevin Mccarthy
They are only concerned in maintaining their Republican majority
Was he convicted?
@@mikeimpressionsreviews9831 your stupider than santos
@@mikeimpressionsreviews9831o, my friend, that due process portion is definitely proceeding independently of the expulsion. this debate n ethic committee investigation is inevitable process, to separate the governing body from the questionable, unethical n criminal actions of a representative so the fair, rightful business of the government can continue untainted. but, honestly , I think u know that already.
Having Matt Gaetz on your side in THAT warped side of the House is nothing to be prideful of.
Gaetz the guy who also should be expelled, who also is not concerned with his own behavior or Santos or any of the other Criminals in the House/Senate.
EXACTLY@@Vynjira-chan
@@Vynjira-chan McCarthy just told a reporter that what the Ethics Committee is investigating about Gaetz is even worse than what Santos did!
And Gaetz did not really help him.
Obviously not!! Finally, they did something right.@@m.b.d7001
Santos argument basically stating that he can't be fired from his job because he hasn't been convicted in a court of law. The dude is so out of touch with reality.
Right…the previous 5 were convicted-and I’m not convicted yet, so 🤦🏾♂️. lol -K. Santos did not say anything about the folks who resigned (out of shame and also those who chose to resign before they were convicted). Why hold a seat hostage?
calm down snowflake
Then we shall Wait until hes Tried,Found Guilty and Sentenced..either way Georgie gonna GO
@@1silv Because Santos is a PARASITE, he wants to suck all the money he can out of his position before he leaves.
He actually has a point, he has not been convicted. Anyone with a modicum of morals and ethics would resign, but he is a Republican and has neither.
This is why the swamp will never be fully drained. What a pathetic excuse for a government.
You mean republicans.
Gaetz talking about ethics is priceless....
Makes me get a little vomit in my throat. Morally and ethically bankrupt Matty wouldn't know a higher standard if it hit him in the largest forehead I've seen.
He thinks it's a 16 year old girl.
To him it's not unethical if you 'thought' she was 21 💁
Using the Churchill quote about voters get the government they deserve in the way he did was not only spitting in the face of Santos' district but his own. He never defended George, he only maintained Congress was acting in an unprecidented way and basically, "In Rep. Santos, you got exactly what you lousy New Yorkers deserve."
IKR? Gaetz’s pappy funds his son’s sick behavior too. Why the folks of Ft Walton Beach keep electing that disgusting POS is beyond anything rational
The people of NY has spoken and said “GET OUTTA HERE!
The fact that some still feel the need for a debate is sickening.
Gotta have something to take back to the home folks to show they're being "represented."
It is part of the House Rules.
Due process should exist for everybody, even for this turd as well, he certainly should get a full hearing discussion....and then will hopefully be expelled
Expel him and some of those others, like MTG, Lauren Bobert, Jim Jordan, the list is long.
💙 List will continue to grow as Nov 2024 cannot come soon enough ! 💙
What an embarassment to the US Congress.
Specialy for the Republican party, who hired street smarty pants morons. So in that case they can hire the criminals who are in jail.
I would've got tired of reading all of Santos' wrongdoing within that petition. The Lady should've called for a break.
I thought the same. She did persevere though and got through it. Good for her.
She’s the reading clerk that’s her job. Props to her.
@@blakekaveny You missed the humor in my statement. "All the wrongdoing" read like an entire book."
Debate? Get it over with! Kick him all the way to jail 🔒
👍
Brandon?
Seriously, stop wasting time. Get him out and start working on stuff for the American/world people. Stop wasting time on a dude that shouldn’t be there.
Clay Higgins speaking not to expel Santos is so predictable for the Republican Party.
Why Clay? I like "dirt" better. More fitting.
Dirt higgins. SANTOS has dirt on clay
" Calm down"
ALL These rUPUBLICANS HAVE NO SHAME. GODLESS DRIFTERS
Higgins is "Swamp man"
Matt Gates and George Santos both need to be thrown out of the house!
Hope they include MTG & Boobert!
If Santos isn't voted out, and congress continues in this manner. Dissolve the ethics committee, we shouldn't be paying these people to do nothing. It's ridiculous to pay an advisor and ignore his advice.
As a former Registered Republican now a Registered Independent no longer tell me about Republican Values, Family, Law, Women's Health and Rights or supporting any Republican Candidate who only care about Themselves and their own Political Views and not those of the People who have elected them into Office to Represent them and Support the Constitution.
Republicans except for a very few have proven that they have sold Themselves to the Highest Level of Who will support their own personal agenda and not those of the People.
Well said.
Did you have a stroke on your keyboard?
it was always a BS lie
How is today’s GOP different from any other time in US history? They have always been like this.
So a vote for Republicans, come towards the light!
Should live the rest of his conniving life in shame. Thankfully he won’t receive a congressional pension.
Take out the garbage. It's long overdue and smelling bad!!
Santos has committed heartless crimes against people. He must go!
This is our dysfunctional U.S. House.
House of Lunatics
Expel Santos Ravache Santos out NOW!
No
@@vickeyhoward8094 Right, the longer he is in congress the worse for GQP!

Sure, but lets hear you say that for Menendez too
@@dougcunningham1449 I feel sorry for such low IQ people like you who often breed to much and pass on the shoe size IQ.
I would like to thank Clay Higgins for letting America know that in the past no matter what you have done, sex ,lies, corruption or campaign violations the rule of Congress is to forgive and forget . Be a good Ol' boY
AND IF AT ALL POSSIBLE HIDE IT FROM THE PUBLIC
Clay thanks you
Mike Johnson certainly should be concerned, because Santos isn’t an insurrectionist! In fact, there’s about a half a dozen legislators that should be ousted according to the 14th amendment
147 in Congress.
SCOTUS will decide the outcome apparently.
The idea that the New York office of Elections isn’t watching this closely is ridiculous. The instant he is gone, campaigns to replace him will start.
HE IS THERE POSTER CHILD 😅
I doubt they will expel him.
Way to many words wasted in debate. The man does not belong in the halls of congress, plain and simple..1!!!
He was on unemployment! He’s wearing better clothes!!
Hypocrisy? Thats rich coming from ANY of the GOP
So, are we forgetting his own District pulled back there support of him long ago, and that according to them he no longer represents them?
Great point...
Bye Felicia
😂
Santos was an extra in “Friday”!
I completely agree with Rep Esposito...They should be held to a higher standard.
So many of our Representatives are guilty of crimes and their fellows turn a blind eye.
What did BIDEN DO!?
@@vickeyhoward8094”The Bible says to forgive & forget”! Right??? Isn’t that your quote???!!!
Sooo… Santos faces 23 criminal charges, 2 former staffers have plead guilty… heh, and Trump is saying, in effect, hold my beer.
Can’t resolve dismissing a liar, that’s why they back the Big Orange Liar.
Georgie Porgie seems to have all the established qualifications required to be a Republican congressman
A congressman* There, fixed it for you. I guarantee you there are countless others in both parties that are not as talked about doing the things he is doing, some not as aggredious, hence ignored or overlooked.

He is a true representative of today’s Republican Party
Isn't he though. I am actually surprised that the Republicans haven't unanimously voted him into their leadership. 😒😒😒🇺🇸
He's a slimy little worm. But we repeat ourselves.
Yeah, a bunch of liars.
as if the democrat party were an example today🤣
@@LucasHorst-zi3rlno democratic representative has been investigated for expulsion so ur exercise of "whatboutism" falls way short.
I am from NY I want him out
Marge and Lauren spent campaign funds on personal bills. They got off with a request to "amend" their reports.
Imagine if Republicans spent this energy on ousting another Republican with 91 federal and civil charges.
no, 91 felonies AND other additional civil charges
Watching the MAGA’s is like watching the Kardashians. You wonder how they’ve found fame, knowing it has nothing to do with talent. But, it’s still mind boggling to realize that they have somehow fooled enough people that got them the gig!! Lol
Congress must become humble - acknowledge the HOUSE, fraught with irregularities, indiscretions, illegal behavior and not accountable to any standard of conduct which is an insult to the voters and our global reputation. Start the clean-up and keep moving with ethics to preserve democracy.
He stole credit card info, from his donors!!!!!
Trump changed one time donations to recurring donations from his donors cc's
@@gigifrancis2460 I know this, why are you telling me this?
@@symptomoftheuniverse4149 I was just commenting on the similarities between them and some people don't know that
Every republican who want Santos to remain as a congressman should by their constituents be voted out in their re-elected.
George forgot the first rule of the GOP - don’t get caught.
He damn well forgot the second rule: Don't threaten to tell the world about our closed door misdeeds.
With the Democrats that doesn’t apply, Charlie Rangols, Bob Menedwz,AOC …my mistake it was Iliana Omar who married he brother to defraud immigration law, now there is no immigration law enforcement
They actually needed a DEBATE on this issue. That's NUTS? He should havve been tossed out on his ear. Gutless, gutless, gutless.
There's always a process to go through. Just like with the court and a trial or a hearing.
Again, the Republicans are wasting so much time on this embarrassing situation. We look like fools to the world. Get rid of Santos. I don't think we should ever allow a person with wrongdoing allowed to serve in his capacity. New Rules of Edicate required now a days. And the same for the oval office.
once again some brainless democrap speaks on something they have no clue about.
The GOP is the biggest clown car - just bigly.

I love the comparisons made by the teenager-dating congressman from Florida. So the crime of pulling a fire alarm and being indicted for fraud in the thousands of dollars is equal? Of course he is, he doesn't understand what an ethical choice is, he's never made one.
Let him stay as the poster child for the modern GOP, he’s no worse than the rest of them.
Can't wait for SNL this weekend. I wonder what their skit will be on Santos speaking. Lol. This is rich him calling others liars
Dont forget to strip him of his 'lifetime' medical benefits
If nothing else , George has brought both parties together. Finally.
💙 Nov 2024 cannot come soon enough ! Vote Blue 💙
Wot a circus. Santos has no shame.
To watch and hear MAGA republicans try to defend the indefensible is so precious!...."Due Process"....often used and Georgie has been extended "due process" more than any other congressional person. He repeatedly thumb his nose to the process and now wants to hide behind it?!? He will be getting his "due process" when he goes to court and face all the criminal charges he's incurred. I'm sure he will have a lot of boyfriends when he gets to prison.
Can you image if AOC did HALF of what Santos has done? They ALL would be having meltdowns and falling all over themselves to get her tossed out of congress!
Prison was always the day camp he was heading for... there he can shine with his criminal mind and wiles of being the temptress hiding beneath the surface.
hows it feel to have donald trump living rent free in your head? 🤣
This is literally the swamp the MAGA talk about.
@@troywarner9546 Who?
I think that it is a good thing for the people in Louisiana that the Louisiana congressman is no longer working on the streets as a police officer. I would advise to re-investigate every case that has been handled by this gentleman, because I never believe that this man, with the abysmal set of morals that he has, does have any clue what the word justice means.
Clay Higgins??? His ghostbuses conspiracy was epic!!! Unfortunately, he gets to stir up more trouble in Congress!!!
This is the reason some American believe bad behavior is expected these days and nobody should attack them. If congress can lie,cheat and steal why not everyone.
We need a high moral standard of elected officials, no matter what party ALL elected officials.
I'm a Dem but didn't think all the points by Republicans were bad. Still I think they're ridiculous hypocrites and wouldn't care whatsoever about any point they made today if this was a Dem. Vote Santos out.
I’m. Democrat and you sound like a liar
Sorry to inform you, but Republicans are fractally wrong. They're wrong about everything from every angle. They're bad and they've always been bad, since Eisenhower. What they stand for is royalty. What they want is authoritarianism. What they strive for is power. Everything they do is Machiavellian in nature. They have no values and no principles. They trick their voters into electing them. They are not honest and have no interest in doing what's best for the country. Those few of them that did have already been expelled from their own party. All that's left is the garbage.
I agree. Yes they were correct he’d be the first to be expelled without having participated in the civil war or a criminal conviction but we all know they’d be all over it if it were the other way around.
I have never known congress to have ethics. This is just another demonstration of the fight to stop ethics.
What a waste of taxpayers money. Just kick him out and put him in prison
Wait... They have to debate this??!!
The room looks pretty much empty, is this not part of the job they have?
Matt Gaetz sounds like he's practicing for his own expulsion hearing.
Hey if the Republican House actually expels him then they will at least have accomplished one thing. Chip Roy can cite that as something this Republican Congress has accomplished.
Good point! 😂
This should be such a slam dunk no brainer. And if they found rotting corpses in George’s house, they would STILL struggle and pontificate just as much. For the most part, our house of government is populated by gutless, self serving, privileged windbags. Come to think of it, Santos fits in perfectly.
Almost no Republicans have any integrity at all. They are a cult. G. Santos walks in the shadow of Donald Trump
Why are these people fighting so hard to ignore Santos constituents they don’t want him anymore now that the truth has come out he was voted in on false pretenses.
They will do anything for a single vote !!
Screams desperation!!!
Just because Santos has committed multiple felonies, the GOP sees no need to expel him. He fits right into their agenda. Hell, they should make him speaker. Nominate him for prez. They could do worse.
They WILL do worse.
Translation - let me stay to get that Monthly Congressional Check.
So, I just watched the special session of our Congress trying to deal with passing a resolution to expel Republican House Representative Santos for the list of charges accumulated against him by the House Ethics Committee.
Santos claims he can't be removed, because he has not been convicted of any wrong doing, and that the voters must decide.
Based on that, the argument in his defense, has been made that the decision to remove him from office must come from the voters in his Congressional district.
(That they voted him in, so it's up to them to vote him out.)
Well, I take issue with that view presented in parenthesis for this reason:
The voters voted in favor of a person that they were LED to believe existed, by lies presented by Santos regarding his own qualifications, lies that he has admitted to in the false fabrication of his qualifications.
Therefore, the person that the voters voted for DOES NOT EXIST. They did NOT vote for the existing person named Santos .... in fact they voted for a mythical somebody else, one that they were told with lies, who had a set of qualifications that met their voter approval.
Therefore, the voters in that district need not be called upon to vote out Santos, since they never actually voted him in, thus it should be the duty of the House of Representatives to remove the imposter among their ranks, the one named Santos.
And with that, I would throw him out and refer the balance of the charges found in their indictment of Santos, to the District Attorney of New York to be considered for criminal investigation and prosecution in the appropriate court(s) of law, depending on the standing of laws breached being Federal, State, Local, or any.
Just my opinion, and I'm no lawyer.
Vote blue💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
If any one of us did that we'd be put away for life and it would have happened months ago!
Party over Nation as always with the GOP. This is why you can't say the word "conservative" without hearing the word "con" as in con artist.
Santos should be kicked out of the Congress. He has not shame, he’s a stain and an embarrassing for Congress. He’s just a con artist. Lock him up!
Santos assasinated his own character, anyone speaking out for his expulsion is just trying to get him to see past his own denial. He's an embarassment and a thief
Only in the House could people spend days and days debating whether to send Santos packing. Just VOTE! Get it DONE and move on!
even Matt Gaetz rolled his eyes at George Santos, who if you are recall promised to step down if ethics violation were found. Hey George, "as if" they needed to keep digging. THEY HAVE PLENTY!!!! GO AWAY!
Bye, girl!!!
Good One!!!
How familiar: republicans defend the crook!
How is he able to not only look/sound embarrassed but actually sounds self-righteous?!!
If you would put Trump‘s name in instead of Santos, it sounds like the same argument. Only the GOP refused to make Trump responsible for his actions.
WTH is Santos talking about with his victim mentality argument?!?!😂. A Lilly pad for Santos lMFAO😂😂 what a mockery the halls of Congress has become.
I believe that Santos is not up for getting ousted because of what he did, but because he got caught.
Come on. You really think that every congressperson is secretly committing crimes at the level Santos was?
@@jonoaks9834 I’m not sure how you drew that implication from what I said.
@@1stlynn.c I "inferred" the same thing. How could you not see it yourself?
@@rickpedretti4538 Sorry, I still don’t see it. I’ve heard a few reports where he is being vociferously defended by others, as is also evidenced by those speaking for him today. In his interview this past weekend Santos himself pretty much said, “You think I’m bad? You haven’t even see the tip of the iceberg.” Pointing fingers at the “others”. It’s just my personal opinion. It doesn’t have to match what you consider to be truth.
"I will not stoop to that level" You already did!! Why stop now?
There’s greater chance for intergalactical aliens landing on the Capitol’s stairs today than republican finding enough spine to expel Santos.
WHY IS THERE ANY DOUBT THAT A CHEATING LIAR SHOULD BE KICKED OUT
Goodbye Georgina.
Most people would step down, that's why it doesn't happen often. MAYBE AMERICA SHOULD GET RID OF FIRE AT WILL EMPLOYMENT if congress is not held to the same standards as the rest of US
Could it be that something like this has never happened before, because no one has eve been so corrupt, so arrogant, and such a deceitful liar as Santos has been?
Santos has the biggest crock in the house standing up for a Man who has did a crime and he himself Geazt is a criminal also Johnson you need to come after Geazt to get him out of your Congress NOW immediately as well. Republicans are sick of Geazt and want him out of Congress NOW
VOTE BLUE AGAIN AMERICA.
Why?
lol. vote blue if you think sexually mutilating children is ok
I believe that the ones who resigned did so, because they knew expulsions were coming so if he was an honorable person he would accept the pettion signed by his constitutes and resign before they forced to expel him.
He wants the notoriety, and that's why he is continuing this losing gamble.
😂😂😂 this is hilarious
