It's not the conservatives rebeling. Conservatives are regarded as communists in the GOP these days.
Anyone paying attention to the GOP during the Trump admin saw that lying through your teeth meant nothing to the faithful. This guy just took that lesson and ran with it.Finally took a deep dive into this Santos guy....
The dude lied about pretty near everything. Pretty amazing....Mom died on 9/11...nope...had 4 employees die in the nightclub shooting in Orlando...nope. Pretty near endless list but those were the most egregious...if he said it it was a pretty good bet it was a lie.
Weren't the typical politician stretching of the truth
Guy has a mental problem...I'll diagnose him. This was always going to come out and a sane person would realize that. Wish it had come out sooner...

Yet the Republican leaders won't replace him. Democrats would kick him out or not even let him near the House. Another difference between the 2 parties.Finally took a deep dive into this Santos guy....

This is amazing, maybe Jeffries should get it until someone unseats him as the clubhouse leader?
This guy took it to a different level.Anyone paying attention to the GOP during the Trump admin saw that lying through your teeth meant nothing to the faithful. This guy just took that lesson and ran with it.
I think your right but with a slim majority it kind of changes the equation....don't think either party would be anxious to lose the seat. If there had been a "red wave" I think the R's probably toss him.Yet the Republican leaders won't replace him. Democrats would kick him out or not even let him near the House. Another difference between the 2 parties.
It also makes you wonder how red is his district. We both know Gaetz could be found guilty of the same here and he would still be elected.This guy took it to a different level.
Amazing that this guy made it through the election process without these easily disproved lies coming out. Even if the media dropped the ball you'd think his D opponent would have dug this stuff up. Kind of perplexing he got away with it...
He won in a district Joe won in 2020.It also makes you wonder how red is his district. We both know Gaetz could be found guilty of the same here and he would still be elected.
There was definitely a failure in the opposition research on this guy. Anyone responsible for the Zimmerman campaign should find another line of work.This guy took it to a different level.

That’s why I don’t think the civil war is over. Rather, it’s just getting started.
Thanks. I didn't know that.He won in a district Joe won in 2020.
The gutting of local news to corporate BS the #1 reason why with this certainly a relevant point as well.Whoever was in charge of "opposition research" in the Zimmerman campaign should never get another job in politics. How in the F didn't they dig this shit up?

George Santos' Democratic opponent calls for congressional probe as party plots district comeback
New York Assemblymember Dan Rosenthal, a Democratic moderate, is a potential candidate.www.politico.com
beat me to it. It really is incredible...There was definitely a failure in the opposition research on this guy. Anyone responsible for the Zimmerman campaign should find another line of work.
Agree. But as stated above...someone in the Zimmerman campaign wasn't doing their job either.The gutting of local news to corporate BS the #1 reason why with this certainly a relevant point as well.
It means gasp they'll have to pick between getting something done with Dems or playing games with the children.It seems like many of McCarthy's supporters are unwilling to budge because they are tired of the HFC always getting it's way by refusing to be team players.
This is obviously good for Dems but I sort of wonder at what point this becomes bad for the country. Country is going to need the house to pass budgets at the very least.
It was broke by a local source finally after I stand by #1 issue of the dismantling of our media but can't disagree with you either.Agree. But as stated above...someone in the Zimmerman campaign wasn't doing their job either.
These lies were so easily disproved...amazing stuff.
Like Herschel Walker being in the FBI? Heck just pick up his autobiography. Yet the R's still ran with him. For a much higher profile seat.Agree. But as stated above...someone in the Zimmerman campaign wasn't doing their job either.
These lies were so easily disproved...amazing stuff.
But Walker's stuff came out during the campaign.Like Herschel Walker bring in the FBI? Heck just pick up his autobiography. Yet the R's still ran with him. For a much higher profile seat.
Probably the race was so small nobody cared. Just didn't have the attention. Him being a gay Republican should have gotten some play though.But Walker's stuff came out during the campaign.
Santos lied about dozens of easily disprovable things but his lies don't get exposed till after the election? Incredible...
I just realized Santos ran in 2020 against Tom Souzi. I'm curious if he was telling the same lies then. The Souzi article in Wiki says:
In June 2020, Suozzi won a three-way Democratic primary in New York's 3rd congressional district with 66.5% of the votes.[35] In the general election, he defeated Republican nominee George Santos, a finance executive, by over 12 points.
Maybe I'm not clear on what the bolded term means.

Well the claim of being a Gay Republican should have at least gotten some bandwidth.Is he even gay and not bisexual?? He was married to a woman for 7 years.

I don't know how the HFC people budge either. If they allow Kevin a path forward and he becomes speaker they're open to retaliation. The HFC will be at that point neutered. They certainly can't trust Kevin in any further negotiations, he'll renege.
Anything short of McCarthy failing in his bid for the speakership, is bad for the HFC.
The next two years are going to be tough on Republican election hopes in 2024.
Drive-thru bank teller, probably.George Santos, a finance executive, by over 12 points.
Maybe I'm not clear on what the bolded term means.
Lindsey -Openly gay Republican
I disagree with Walsh. The second part is partially his fault. He put being speaker ahead of everything else and enabled this nonsense because he wanted their support.
