    Who's the "too"?
    Trump because Santo's isn't in office yet/
    Trump's lies never bothered you, then or now.
    Do Santo;s lies?

    No, I don't think Biden should resign, he came off the heels of the biggest most blatant liar in presidential history whose supporters actually believed them, then and now.

    I didn't ask about HIS integrity. I asked you if you thought he should step down for the fabrications he made? That it is something that should disqualify someone from holding office.

    Resign from ELECTIVE office, I thought that was a given.

    You don't think Biden should resign but think the Republican should not hold an office for the same type of lie? Care to explain that?

    Is this your first time learning that you can criticize someone without demanding that they be denied office? That can't possibly be true.

    And I answered. Tell me, if I look at your post history, will I find that you never criticized someone for lying unless you were demanding that they be removed from office? Lol, that's cute, but I don't buy it.

    I call out liars... I don't call out people who misspeak, unless they double down, turning it into a lie...

    Biden's misspeak on the economy in July really doesn't rise to anything on the new bar set for Presidential statements of dubious nature...

    McCarthy so far has been mum.
    Santos made it public that he'd vote for McCarthy for SOTH.
    And McCarthy supposedly needs every vote.

    I disagree with you about Santos and his lies need to be criminal
    To whom or about what would he have to have lied to make in criminal?
    Under oath obviously, the Feds?

    The guy covered just about every aspect of his life, personal, financial, educational and his citizenship is being looked into now along with his finances and those 100's of thousands he said HE lent to his campaign.

    Talk about creating a clusterf*ck for yourself.

    btw: He's an arrogant ,pathological liar is my conclusion after listening to him try and defend himself and I would be shocked if he wasn't sworn in and welcomed with open arms by Republicans.

    That is except for Margie Gangreene, she trashed Tulsi for her Fox interview with Santo for calling him out repeatedly on his lies and lack of integrity.

    Yep!

    Biden should finish out his term then go ride his bike somewhere and Santos should never be sworn in yet he will because most Republicans like the pathological kind of liar, Trump already indoctrinated them.

    Focus.

    'Types of Lies and Liars'

    Snip:

    1. Bold-Faced Lie

    With a bold-faced lie, a person tells something that others know to be a lie. This is like telling a kid that chocolate is bad when you are eating one yourself.

    2. Broken Promises

    A broken promise is failing to keep a spoken promise or commitment. These lies become more damaging when the person who promised something didn’t plan to keep their word in the first place.

    3. Lie of Fabrication

    This type of lie is telling other people things that you are not sure to be true. These lies can be very damaging if they end up ruining a person’s reputation because of rumors.

    4. Lies of Deception

    Deceivers try to create an impression that can mislead other people by creating a false impression or not telling all facts.

    5. Lying in Exaggeration

    When you exaggerate, you enhance the truth by sprinkling it with some lies. A person who exaggerates often combines untruths and truths to seem impressive to other people.

    6. Plagiarism

    Plagiarism is an act of lying and stealing at the same time. This involves copying the work of someone else and claiming it to be your own.

    7. White Lies

    I won't sugar-coat this: Santos needs to resign and go away! I'm a rock-solid Conservative, and I know that we need every possible vote to hold off the destructive force of liberal, 'woke' Democrats -- but -- NOT with a devious, deceptive creature like Santos! He is the kind of Republican that makes people hate Republicans (and by extension, all CONSERVATIVES).

    We who love this country and our Constitution are in a lifeboat right now, I know that... but if this Santos creep is in our Conservative boat, I want his ass thrown overboard.... Yeah, we need every vote -- I get that -- but we cannot have a thing like Santos in the House, supposedly representing us on the Middle and the Right. Doing so would give truth to the LIE that we on the Right support the election of scumbags!

    McCarthy already sold his soul to Trump for his own political career so seeing him remain silent on Santos is not surprising.


    'Did George Santos lie about everything?'

    The Republican representative-elect who allegedly made up his life story, explained.

    By Ben Jacobs Updated Dec 29, 2022, 1:24pm EST

    Snip:

    "Dan Goldman, a fellow representative-elect from New York and a former prosecutor, has suggested that Santos face criminal investigation for conspiracy to defraud the United States as well as filing false statements to the Federal Election Commission.

    In an interview with Vox, Goldman shied away from weighing in on whether Santos should be denied his seat in Congress. “I think the bigger question is not whether I think George Santos should be a member of Congress.

    The bigger question is whether Kevin McCarthy and the Republican leadership think that George Santos should be a member of Congress.


    A number of Santos’s Republican colleagues have expressed concerns as well. He has already been subject to criticism from several newly elected New York Congress members including Mike Lawler and Nick LaLota. One Republican member of Congress has come to his defense, though: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

    However, as of now, McCarthy needs Santos almost as much as Santos needs McCarthy.
    The Republican leader is facing a revolt among hard-right Republicans opposed to him becoming speaker of the House in January. With the slim incoming GOP majority, it means McCarthy can only risk a handful of defections for a position that requires a majority vote of the entire House. Shortly before the Times’s story was published, Santos endorsed McCarthy on Twitter.

    I’d say it dependas on the degree. Did they lie and say they had good grades when they didn’t? Or did they completely lie about even going to a college?
    Did they inflate the importance of their job? Or did they completely fabricate where they worked?
    It should disqualify him for the voters, but he won, and should be seated.

    Here is the WaPo "fact-checker", Glenn Kessler, stating that he wasn't going to tally up Biden's lies beyond 100 days:

    Biden doubles down on his lies routinely. I don't see you call them out when he does.
