^* it has to be the same 142,000 people who voted for him to be their representative.

Easy enough, print up the petition and go door to door. If he still refuses to leave, sue him for breach of promise. Let's see how long he stays once he realizes his entire salary (plus for punitive damages) will be going back to the voters.

He later clarified on Steve Bannon's show (because of course....) that he would resign if every single person who voted for him renounced their support; not 142,000 people in general.

LOL dude is just trolling now, but he has way bigger issues on the horizon than resignation.

Hold up! That was George Santos in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics that did the Black Power raised fist salute? A recent unearthed bio says so. Wow

True, his career as an astronaut is heating up, plus his three part script for HBO based on his best selling young adult series that's v big in Zimbabwe is due soon. It's tough given how he moonlights as a super hero on nights. What a brave man.

Is he going to resign? Or will he try to have all of the 142,000 who told him to resign killed?

Yeah… a year is about a reasonable estimate for a somewhat complex investigation into his finances. If the stars align we could be looking at a perp walk on corruption/financial crimes at just about the time the 2024 cycle is heating up.

Hence the local GOP wanting him out ASAP.

will he still resign if 142,001 people ask him to? like does he require that exactly 142,000 people ask him to resign

I hope he doesn't resign. Then this can be the poster boy for Republicans and help Dem win back the Congressional seats lost.

I love how some GOP people are giving Santos a pass by saying “everyone here embellishes their record to get to congress.” That makes it okay? Lol. And it’s not like Biden or AOC who bent the truth, this guy lied about literally every material fact of his life, from heritage to religion to education to work history to etc.

I'm kind of surprised that this doesn't count as fraud or something similar. Americans spent their limited resources (votes, time, campaign donations) on a service that was explicitly advertised with lies.

It's like trying to buy a car that was advertised as a brand new jeep, and instead you get the tailpipe of a jeep that exploded in WW2.

It was an open seat because Suozzi wanted to primary Hochul and one of the fundamentals of election law is that you can only run for one seat at a time. He ended up finishing behind Jumaane Williams. Couldn't even get 100K votes even with his name recognition in Nassau.

It’s funny how McCarthy and Crew say that the people decided and it should be up to them and it doesn’t matter what’s in the press. What happened when members of the GOP decided they didn’t care what the will of the people was when they tried to carry out a coup d’etas and reject the lawfully elected President of the United States?

This is still achievable, given that voting is a secret ballot. There's no way of telling if the 142,000 people telling him to resign did indeed vote for him--in practice it would just have to be 142,000 registered voters from his district, which is achievable (if, for example, the Nassau County GOP called his bluff and organized an "official" "election"/pull).

But that's beside the point--even if that happened, he still wouldn't resign.

Please show some respect. This is the George Santos. The man who lost 8,000 employees to Alaric during the Sack of Rome, discovered the laws of electromagnetism, and saved mankind from the Mayan apocalypse of 2012. You should be thanking him.

McCarthy is a joke. "I try to stick by the Constitution. The voters elected him to serve," McCarthy said this week.

The voters didn't elect HIM. They elected a character he invented.

Trump won because of fortuitously-located rural voters scattered across the Midwest.

In NY, Republicans are trying to hold a bunch of House seats in like, D+3 suburban districts. Trump is not the best comparison.

Sure that would be great, but I'm not sure how something like that could be enforced without it also applying to much smaller offenses. For example if a candidate said they had a 4 year degree but really only had a 2 year degree + 1.5 years of credits towards the 4 year degree. Would the same penalties apply to them? Seems like they would b/c they said something that's not true. From a legal perspective how would you distinguish between them and someone like Santos? Then there's also the inevitable 1st amendment case this law would lead to.
