The embattled congressman isn’t running for reelection after the panel found “substantial evidence” of federal crimes
The House Ethics Committee has found “substantial evidence of potential violations of federal criminal law” by indicted New York Congressman George Santos, and are referring the matter to the Justice Department. Santos announced that he will not be running for reelection in 2024 shortly after the committee released its report.
“If there was a single ounce of ETHICS in the ‘Ethics committee’, they would have not released this biased report,” he wrote, adding that he “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.”
…
The ISC report found that in multiple instances, Santos moved funds donated to his campaign to his personal checking accounts, and used the money at luxury store Hermès, OnlyFans, Sephora, as well as for meals, parking, and to pay off his credit card bills. His FEC reports included payments for Botox, a luxury vacation in the Hamptons, taxis and hotel stays during his Las Vegas honeymoon, and spa treatments.
This guy is just recklessly impulsive.
Wait a minute, you just gave me an idea.
Has anyone seen Roger and George Santos in the same room together?
It’s my favorite characterization of Santos. He’s just this weird, hedonistic, impulsive sociopath.
Fake names, scams, costumes, it fits way too well.
(edit: and that time he had a baby that wasn’t his “yet”. He was clearly caught mid-scheme or something)
I absolutely love American Dad. The one last night was the two parter where Stan thinks he’s Noah lmao. Fucking genius and I was laughing so hard I was crying in parts.
