1. Why do I see Marco Rubio when I see George Santos?

EWWWWWW.....

[SouthernDem4ever]

2. This is McCarthy's fault, he could get rid of him

But McCarthy also has no ethics.

[a kennedy]

5. And he needs his republican vote. 🤮

[SouthernDem4ever]

7. Of course, power/party over country

just the kind of people who DON'T belong in government.

[Igel]

13. No, McCarthy can't just say,

"Dude, you're expelled."

There's that Constitution thang to deal with, process, procedure.

I mean, there are needs!

Desantos doesn't belong in that seat. Yet our constitutional democracy has rules to keep it from degenerating into autocracy. If we're a nation of laws and not whims, let's follow the laws.

Otherwise, any notion of democracy is whimsical.

16. So you're saying he can't put it to a vote

on the grounds his district doesn't want him there due to fraudulent behavior? Is there nothing that protects us from these fraudsters?

[Ray Bruns]

3. Where were these 100,000 people on November 8th?

[Tom Rinaldo]

4. Some of them would vote again for the person who Santos claimed he was

But of course he isn't.

[FakeNoose]

8. Anyone can sign the petition - these aren't necessarily NY3 voters

I believe I signed the petition (or one like it) over a month ago, and I'm living in Pennsylvania.

[Igel]

14. That's absurd.

At the same time, it's possible that those there (physically) that want him yanked voted against him.

In other words, "My candidate lost, so I'll ask the winner to step down. I'm (D), and my (D) governor's sure to appoint somebody who thinks like me."

Were I a loyal (R), I'd want Santos to continue just to avoid that. Better a nullity than an opponent.

[No Vested Interest]

17. Informed voters will know that the state governor can not appoint a replacement for a Representative

to the US House of Representatives.

6. Is it just me, or is that shirt and sweater thing meant to suggest a clerical

collar?

He looks like something out of central casting for the sneaky villain.

[dalton99a]

9. He pretends to be a highly educated upper-class wealthy elite person

11. Thank you for that fascinating read. I must be one of the few put off by that

style. most likely the whole "clerical collar" thing.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

12. it does look like a priestly uniform to me also

[flying_wahini]

10. The longer they keep Santos the more the resolve against Kevin and his goons.

They deserve all the bad press it is bringing them.

[Evolve Dammit]

15. Dude ain't going anywhere. Until convicted. Let's see the Putin money trail DOJ. nt
