George Santos expelled from Congress: a recap of some of his lies
The House voted on Friday to expel the Republican George Santos, of New York, after a critical ethics report on his conduct that accused him of converting campaign donations for his own use. Subscribe to Guardian News on KZread ► bit.ly/guardianwiressub
He was just the sixth member in the chamber's history to be ousted by colleagues. The expulsion push is the latest chapter in what has been a spectacular fall from grace for Santos, a first-term lawmaker initially celebrated as an up-and-comer after he flipped a district from Democrats last year and helped Republicans win control of the House. Here is a look back at some of his claims which proved untrue.

Why is that? You don't believe in due process? Innocent until proven guilty? Congress is making up their own rules. You can't have it both ways.

"I've been a terrible liar on those subjects" What a sociopath. What he meant was "I wish I had lied better so I wouldn't be in this situation".

I'm going to miss the Jimmy Kimmel bit on Santos's lies the most. Brilliant Satire, that was just too real sometimes.

This man should never be allowed in politics again, Blessed Be.
I can't believe they would expel a former speaker of the house from the years 2000-2009 and 1980-1993
Can you imagine the elation of working and succeeding to achieve the best con of your life? Thinking you had it made but you got caught being greedy and then everybody found out and exposed you. It is all downhill from here. You only have jail to look forward to but hey, at least you will have a roof over your head until you get out of prison. Then what? Homeless within two years of your release unless you can find a sugar daddy. No one will give you a job so you had better be thinking of your next con and maybe you can get fresh inspiration in prison. Until you get caught next time and the next time and so on for the rest of your life.

If George hadn't invented the wheel, (and sliced bread) he would have been expelled long ago...
This guy is an absolute caricature.
It gets to a point where it's so ridiculous you can't help but enjoy the entertainment lol
Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y. you are FIREDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Pathological liar.
Dare I say a board game will come out of all his lies and chinanigins.

That's crazy. So you decided to investigate his resume after he became a congressmen. Why didnt the candidate running against him not look into him to blast him with his own lies? If he had been any other race 😏😏

Right. Blame the Democrats for the actions of a Republican. I can't wait to hear from you why Donald Trump being president was the fault of Democrats
It is a disgrace that he got to congress in the first place.
Does George Santos get severance pay? Does he continue on benefits? Does he get unemployment, etc.

So wait you are telling me that a US politician was expelled from Congress for lying? If that's the standard then the whole place should be empty along with the white house 🤣
A politician ousted for lying? Why are there any politicians left?
Bye crook. Get ready to say, do you want cheese on that burger?
I wouldn’t be too surprised if we find him in a few months at the White House as special advisor to the President in charge of sensitive operations.
He just can't stop the lies.

Um, more Republicans voted against expelling him then for expelling him, and if he thought changing to Democrat would work I'm sure he would've tried.
I’m not saying he should not have been let go; I think he should, but those standards should also be applied to Democrats as well. Let’s look at Biden next.

Nothing in house rules say we have to wait for a criminal and fraudster be convicted in court. If Santos killed 20 people on live TV we don’t need congress to wait for the jury conviction that could take years.
Man, that was humiliatingly. A lot of narcissists would not survive this. I wonder if anybody's watching over him, or if anyone even cares.
