Do you think conservative icon George Santos is a good role model for men & women everywhere?

[supercutebutt]

Conservative powerhouse George Santos identifying as a male and a female.

George is the new face of conservatism. They identify as both a man and a woman, attracting Republican voters of BOTH genders! George is also a virulent racist, which is a cornerstone of the modern GOP. They recently flashed the white power hand signal on the floor of Congress. They appear to be the Republican Party's new standard bearer. Do you agree? VOTE!

Yes. "They" show that conservative women can do anything conservative men can do. :)

No. I am against this staunchly conservative individual.

I can't make heads or tails of George Santos.

No because George Santos is a white supremacist in addition to being a trans woman. I am against racism.

Lots of people are commenting but why so few votes? VOTE!

George Santos has lied every time he opens his mouth. And he has lied in most of what he has written. According to him, his mother died in the collapse of the twin towers, even though she was not even in this country. He has won every contest he has been in going back to 1513. But so Republican! Kevin McCarthy is slashing honest members of Congress from committees and replacing them with lying criminals. So he is a great role model for republicans.

[Dargil]

Schiff, Swalwell, Omar. Pardon me while I catch my breath from laughing.
Of politicians were not permitted to lie, they couldn't speak.

[supercutebutt]

@Dargil LOL!

[Red_Arrow]

@Dargil Marjorie Taylor Greene has lied, denied, disrespected and threatened for many years. When she threatened members, she was voted off the committees. Same with
Gossar. Most Republicans in Congress agreed with that action back then. Even so McCarthy made it clear he would "pay back" when he got the chance. And that is what he is doing. He is lying, saying he is trying to make the committees more honest (by replacing them with liars) but his own words for year show that the reason is payback against the Democrats. His actions against Omar appear to be because she is Muslim. Many of the rank and file Republicans ar unhappy with this, but McCarthy has made it clear that he has the power to do what he wants and can lie about the reasons if he wants. Catch your breath on those facts.

[Amy10223]

I agree 100%!!!

[Dargil]

She's one of my favorites.

[monorprise]

When all the democrats who told lies actually related to their Job in congress From Joe Biden to Schiff resign we can talk about politicians who told unrelated lies like George Santos.

Granted at that point we may not have many politicians left in office.

[Red_Arrow]

@Dargil Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the initial spreaders of lies that the Parkland and Sandy Hook shootings were made up and all the videos were of actors. She continued to call the grieving parents liars. There is no way that bitch should be in Congress. She also fed the lies that Trump had won the election that Biden won. All of those were proven false over and over in fact finding and in court. She is still claiming the school shootings did not happen, and the Republicans are putting her on a committee about homeland security, part of which is to protect school children which she obviously would prefer to be shot!

What makes the newly elected congressman a "conservative Icon"? Nobody voted for him outside of his district in new York.

Therefore puts him in the least position of 435 members of the house having never even been re-elected.
That is on top of being less supported than 151 to 500 other representatives with statewide or national support.

[supercutebutt]

Because all the jerkiest Republicans luv him and are protecting him.

[Opinion Owner]

@supercutebutt If we were going to throw politicians out for lying there wouldn't be any politicians in any office.

This particular new congressman's lies are inconsequential for his low office, so even if we the people of the other 434 districts did have a right to judge who represents their district, and we absolutist do not.

Said lies would not justify any action whatsoever, your past jobs or education are NOT qualifications for being a congressman. A position held successfully by countless people with no qualifications. It is mere credentialism to claim it matters.

If he runs for an executive office in charge of actual people there might be reason to care.
Being asked simply to voice to represent a his district doesn't require any such experience outside of said district.

[supercutebutt]

... and this is why nobody trusts you and why nobody trusts Republicans. You are corrupt people. :)

[Opinion Owner]

@supercutebutt
Well if you want to adopt said standard then at least you could get rid of Joe Biden who has spent his entire career lying, then start going down the list of top democrats who have done little better.

You know people with actual power, who lied about how they used and would use such power.

[supercutebutt]

Sure thing. And shouldn't you be out storming the Capitol for your cult leader?

[Opinion Owner]

@supercutebutt Never been to any protest because I don't beleive in it. There are far better ways to communicate today.

[supercutebutt]

Like your trolling on g@g?

[Opinion Owner]

@supercutebutt Yes on an internet form is a better way to communicate than standing out in the middle of the street holding a sign in my opinion.

Althou a better way still is to discuss the issue with different people. A public forum isn't about a public space but the ability to actually share ideas with other people.

I don't have many ideas that fit on a sign for which I care to discuss.

[Amy10223]

Definitely not. This guy seems to be a pathological liar. He should be ok since he's part of the GOP and they support him---but he might be ousted because of all the lies on his resume.

[Anonymous]

Nope, no one respects him and many Republican politicians are openly criticizing him. He is no more the role model for conservatives than AOC is for liberals.

[Texaskid1]

He is a great role model indeed.

He immigrated to the USA from Brazil and and is now in the highest ranks of our government and he did it by copying what all the other politicians do - lying his ass off!!!

Also, I doubt he is a white supremacist - the guy is from Brazil - one of the most mixed race countries on the planet. In Brazil the "OK" sign is a vulgar sign for vagina.

[supercutebutt]

George isn't into vagina.

[Texaskid1]

True but still , the OK symbol is not always linked to white supremacism. Anyways , there are other countries out there where certain hand gestures can have a different meaning that the US

[Lionman95]

Isn´t that the person that made up most of his bio saying he improved it slightly? Like claiming he´s anything you could come up with and not feeling guys about it. I don´t believe a word he´s saying.

[Lionman95]

Exchane guys and guilty don't what my went wrong that moment

[Emiliamazing]

I am very let down on how lies can simply put somebody like this in a position of power. Sadly, how do we prevent this from happening in another election, whether it's local state or federal?

[Emiliamazing]

And I did vote :-). I picked second choice from the top.

[inhua]

people are going to naturally follow who they want to follow. there's no need to cram certain figures down their throats

[supercutebutt]

Are you a natural follower of George?

[inhua]

no I've never heard of him until now

[exitseven]

He is a major embarrassment not only to America but the whole Republican party. It would have taken ten minutes to do a background check on him before they let him run.

[supercutebutt]

If they showed up on your doorstep dressed as a sexy conservative lady, would you enjoy a little romance with George?

[exitseven]

Nope, I think this guy should be put in a closet someplace and never heard from again.

[supercutebutt]

Tough but fair.

[goaded]

They did do a background check on him, and ran him anyway.

www.nytimes.com/.../...antos-republicans-lies.html

"The episode, which has not been previously reported, is the most explicit evidence to date that a small circle of well-connected Republican campaign professionals had indications far earlier than the public that Mr. Santos was spinning an elaborate web of deceits, and that the candidate himself had been warned about just how vulnerable those lies were to unraveling.

Fraudulent academic degrees. Involvement in a firm accused of a Ponzi scheme. Multiple evictions and a suspended driver’s license. All of it was in the report, which also said that Mr. Santos, who is openly gay, had been married to a woman. The report did not offer conclusive details, but some people briefed on the findings wondered whether the marriage was done for immigration purposes."

[exitseven]

@goaded this is why McDaniels must be voted out as head of the RNC.

[MikeInHawaii]

This whole question is nonsense. How is a freshman congressman, who has been asked to resign by his own party and denied any committee appointments, a “powerhouse,” or “the new face of conservatism?”

[lightbulb27]

there's always weird people. He is not representing me... but... as well, I'm not so familiar with him or her... or it, orwhatever.

[Part2603]

He's such a "conservative icon" that I've never heard of him! haha

[supercutebutt]

Do you live in a cave?

[Friendlybro79]

@Part2603 He's literally been on the news every day for a while now. He's not an icon he's a complete idiot and pathological liar which is why the Republicans welcomed him with open arms... But he broke the Cardinal rule. Don't get caught. So now he's being chastised by the same people that welcomed him. Why don't you google his name and then you'll know what is being talked about.

[Part2603]

@Friendlybro79 He's been on the news because your lefty bubble has memed him into the latest right wing straw man. Trump is an "icon" on the right. I like to think I keep my ear to the pulse of politics and I've never heard of Santos before. To be fair, I'm not exactly sure who the "interesting" people on the left are... But I wouldn't presume that like Maxine Waters is like the typical proto Democrat.

[Part2603]

Oh wait! Is this the guy that lied about his Jewish ancestry, but like the other way around? LOL! I have heard of him!

[Wallythewalrus]

I think it's a fucking riot when people start the, "he's a liar" argument. Seriously? That's the game you wanna play?

[supercutebutt]

@Wallythewalrus Wally going full walrus.

[Wallythewalrus]

Does my picture make my ass look fat?

[Friendlybro79]

@Part2603 You're not doing a good enough job learning about all sides of the news or barely paying attention all. If you're not sure who's who on both sides (not that you have to know everything and everyone) then maybe you're the one that shouldn't be commenting like you know what's happening or important lol. Also right wing media has been talking about him too. Yes he's that guy and he's an idiot. And how do you know the left has memed him up as the latest straw man on the right if you haven't heard of him?

[bigrook]

What makes this guy a conservative "icon"?

[Dargil]

I don't recall his being an icon, just a championship lier. Like Biden.

[supercutebutt]

You are just angry that Joe doesn't dress up sexy for you.

[Dargil]

Why would I be angry about that?

[supercutebutt]

Because you wish Joe got dolled up for you just like how George gets his makeup and dresses so perfect. You only like hot politicians.

[Dargil]

such as...

[supercutebutt]

[Dargil]

I was thinking more...

[Red_Arrow]

A lier is one who rests in a horizontal position, or one who lies as in ambush. If you meant liar, then you need to change Biden to most any Republican.

[Dargil]

@Red_Arrow. Spell check failed me.

[supercutebutt]

@Dargil... or maybe you are struggling with a cognitive impairment?

[Guardian45]

George Santos is a laughing stock, but more importantly a racist a liar and a criminal!

[loveslongnails]

Santos is a joke, but not as funny as being allowed to keep his seat. I've no idea why the district he's from isn't seeking a recall election.

[AngryCarl2]

He's the representative for Queens, what did you expect?

[supercutebutt]

He admitted he dressed in drag but denied being a queen.

[call_me_scar]

You mean they person who's name may not even be George Santos and is wanted for check fraud

[call_me_scar]

He's the eddie ibanez of politicians

[Keishio]

Can any debate in the states be had without race being mentioned?

[supercutebutt]

Maybe? But certainly not when congress people flash white power gang signs.

[Jerre]

Santos is a jerk, a role model only for liars and cheats

[supercutebutt]

Do you at least respect his white pride?

[Friendlybro79]

What about his Jew"ishness". What an insulting thing to try to play off.

[Jerre]

I don’t respect anything about the guy

[Friendlybro79]

I agree. Hopefully the imbecile will step down but he doesn't seem willing. What a joke

[msc545]

Lying racist idiot.

[Kelly6]

i voted for last answer

[jimmy2]

He should be recalled
