its embarrassing that it even took this long

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?

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.

George Santos has no shame. He is a perfect fit for today's Republican Party 🤨

Santos' arrogance is sickening! He should be rotting in jail!

Santos for prison 2023!!

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.

Thank you Congressman D'Esposito (my Congressman) for pushing this resolution and beginning to clean the house.

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.

The fact that some still feel the need for a debate is sickening.

The people of NY has spoken and said “GET OUTTA HERE!

No wonder American citizens are disillusioned with members of Congress! Get rid of Santos already!

Expel him and some of those others, like MTG, Lauren Bobert, Jim Jordan, the list is long.

George Santos's voice has the same effect on me that trump's voice has, makes me wanna hurl!

Gaetz talking about ethics is priceless....

Having Matt Gaetz on your side in THAT warped side of the House is nothing to be prideful of.

This is why the swamp will never be fully drained. What a pathetic excuse for a government.

Clay Higgins speaking not to expel Santos is so predictable for the Republican Party.

Matt Gates and George Santos both need to be thrown out of the house!

What an embarassment to the US Congress.

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.

Debate? Get it over with! Kick him all the way to jail 🔒

I would've got tired of reading all of Santos' wrongdoing within that petition. The Lady should've called for a break.

Take out the garbage. It's long overdue and smelling bad!!

Bye Felicia

Should live the rest of his conniving life in shame. Thankfully he won’t receive a congressional pension.

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

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.

Kick out all of Maga in congress.

This is our dysfunctional U.S. House.

Santos has committed heartless crimes against people. He must go!

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

Expel Santos Ravache Santos out NOW!

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.

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?

They actually needed a DEBATE on this issue. That's NUTS? He should havve been tossed out on his ear. Gutless, gutless, gutless.

Way to many words wasted in debate. The man does not belong in the halls of congress, plain and simple..1!!!

I am from NY I want him out

He is a true representative of today’s Republican Party

His whole district wants him recalled! Every defendant of this dude is faqn pointless! He needs to go! And don’t respect Clay! I’m embarrassed to be from Louisiana to hear what I just heard!

🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳🫂🫂🫂🫂💙💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT FROM SCHOOL BOARDS TO THE PRESIDENCY IN EVERY STATE

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.

Hypocrisy? Thats rich coming from ANY of the GOP

George forgot the first rule of the GOP - don’t get caught.

He stole credit card info, from his donors!!!!!

Wot a circus. Santos has no shame.

Anyone that gave him money, should sue him!

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.

Georgie Porgie seems to have all the established qualifications required to be a Republican congressman

Sooo… Santos faces 23 criminal charges, 2 former staffers have plead guilty… heh, and Trump is saying, in effect, hold my beer.

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.

Can’t resolve dismissing a liar, that’s why they back the Big Orange Liar.

Every republican who want Santos to remain as a congressman should by their constituents be voted out in their re-elected.

The GOP is the biggest clown car - just bigly.

The American people what the same for all the corrupt politicians, beginning with Trump, and many more!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dont forget to strip him of his 'lifetime' medical benefits

Let him stay as the poster child for the modern GOP, he’s no worse than the rest of them.

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.

They will do anything for a single vote !!

If nothing else , George has brought both parties together. Finally.

I have never known congress to have ethics. This is just another demonstration of the fight to stop ethics.

Wait... They have to debate this??!!

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

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.

The room looks pretty much empty, is this not part of the job they have?

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.

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.

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.

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.

If any one of us did that we'd be put away for life and it would have happened months ago!

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

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.

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

What a waste of taxpayers money. Just kick him out and put him in prison

Only in the House could people spend days and days debating whether to send Santos packing. Just VOTE! Get it DONE and move on!

Translation - let me stay to get that Monthly Congressional Check.

Bye, girl!!!

Matt Gaetz sounds like he's practicing for his own expulsion hearing.

"I will not stoop to that level" You already did!! Why stop now?

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!

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!

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.

How is he able to not only look/sound embarrassed but actually sounds self-righteous?!!

As the entire world watches and laughs at all of America

Goodbye Georgina.

Todays Republican party:Where fame & fortune is their number 1 priority. Santos is a symptom of this Pathos,not the sickness itself.

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

How do you hold one accountable and not all. Our government is a hot mess. So sad! America the Great?????

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.

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.

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.

WHY IS THERE ANY DOUBT THAT A CHEATING LIAR SHOULD BE KICKED OUT

I believe that Santos is not up for getting ousted because of what he did, but because he got caught.

George’s lies on top of lies….is next level and completely unbelievable

How familiar: republicans defend the crook!
