The New York Republican congressman, fabulist and criminal defendant George Santos said he would not seek re-election next year, after the US House ethics committee issued a report detailing “grave and pervasive campaign finance violations and fraudulent activity” and recommended action against him.
“I will NOT be seeking re-election for a second term in 2024 as my family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time,” Santos said, calling the report “biased” and “a disgusting politicised smear”.
But after the report detailed his conduct, moves to introduce a new expulsion resolution began.
“Representative Santos sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House candidacy for his own personal financial profit,” the committee said.
How dare you criticize the son of the late Queen and grandson of Abraham Lincoln. You show some damn respect for his bravery in World War I and his Intergalactic Medal of Honor.
this man genuinely is a lying addict, his brain needs to be studied holy shit. like, theres no reason to lie - no one believes you. why do it? avoiding awkwardness?? we all know you have no chance winning an election again after the stars aligned for the biggest fluke in american history to land in one of the tighest houses in american history.
What needs to be studied is why people continue to vote for pathological liars even when their lies are totally obvious and directly related to their political agenda.

Well, clearly he’ll keep his word.
Right? I’ll believe it when I see it next election cycle
Fabulist is a wonderful word
As one of the few astronaut-ai researcher representatives, it will be hard to see him go. However, I’m glad to see he’s leaving to focus more on his efforts to keep the earth safe from Skeletor and the forces of Cobra.
This is George Santos we’re talking about. I’ll believe this once the election is over and he hasn’t been elected as a write-in or some bullshit like that.
He’ll probably find a way to get himself appointed to something anyway.
he’s gonna run for may of prison, watch.
