True, it appears that Santos is a liar who cheated campaign donors out of thousands of dollars so he could fund a tacky, degenerate lifestyle buying luxury clothes and subscribing to online pornography. (Yes, Santos paid for something that is free, but I’m not defending him as a genius.) He’s been charged with serious crimes, and he’s probably someone I’d never let near my kids or borrow a ten-spot. But he hasn’t been convicted of anything. And Republicans, with a 14-seat majority, are in no position to be shedding votes. What’s the rush? Santos is up for reelection in a year anyway. Until then, why not just hold off on any votes related to OnlyFans?
Regardless of what color tie this charlatan wears, I hope everyone in this sub can agree that he has no place in government. He is a fraud.
This guy is embarrassing. Hopefully he does not get voted in again.
ALL Americans benefit when their elected officials show that they actually have a spine and some ethical standards. That’s the case regardless of which political party is involved.
Republicans be like criminals are A-OK as long as they vote for our side.
Quite literally the argument in the article. It’s shameless!
Yes I know some and they are firmly in a “the ends justify the means” mindset.
But he hasn’t been convicted of anything
It’s a pretty well-attested principle of conservativism that you can’t charge an office-holder, a future office-holder, or someone standing as candidate for office. Expelling him from Congress is the only way he can be charged, so of course that had to happen first.
I mean, otherwise it’s a perfect circle of legal immunity, right? Can’t expel a politician who hasn’t been convicted; can’t convict a politician who hasn’t been expelled.
guess democrats aren’t americans then.
