Hey now! Congress just slapped him on the hand and convinced him not to run for reelection!
Meanwhile, the dems took out their own dirty laundry and got Al Franken out within two weeks of women accusing him of inappropriate conduct. And for the record, I 100% believe those women - they were in a position where they HAD to smile and go along with the joke. And it doesn't matter that society accepted his behavior back then - it was still wrong, and if he had been man enough to admit that, he might still be in the Senate today.
When people talk about cancel culture for 'old items that were acceptable then', I think what they're missing is that just because society accepted that behavior it didn't make it right. Back in the day, interracial marriage was banned and people who tried to get married were shunned. But most of society agreed with those laws and thought that it was reprehensible for races to mix. It wasn't right, and anyone who tried to defend their past behavior by saying that it was, therefore their support of it back then was okay should be 'cancelled'.
So, okay to go along with the norm at the time, but not okay to acknowledge that the norm was wrong once you know better, and to become better yourself.
And yes, some people do go overboard with cancelling folks for idiotic things & refuse to acknowledge that someone made a mistake, or that maybe THEIR view is the wrong one.

More to the point with Santos is the verifiable lying, cheating, and stealing. He's a criminal and his party looked the other way. No whatabout-isms necessary.

But John, he hasn't been convicted yet! And the whole 'innocent until proven guilty' goes 110% for Republicans!
We all know that Democrats are guilty of crimes from the moment they're conceived, so they get no benefit!

You're being very generous in your use of Moron here.
Morons around the world are insulted that you throw them in with the likes of these assholes.

Another vote to expel him tomorrow. I think he's now calling this "theatre", which as you know, was his occupation for many years after his retirement from professional wrestling.

If I were running for congress next year I would go hard with how Republicans had a plethora of indisputable evidence and chose to protect a complete fraud.
Including Santos.

Well he's finally gone after stealing from a fellow Republican and his mom. Even then, it took almost every Democrat in the house to vote yes to get it done.
Have to say I'm still confused why the Republicans held on this long - he would have been the perfect 'purity scapegoat' - this man is a liar and not to be trusted so we're expelling him from this august body. Because we have ethics. And so does Donald Trump!
Hahahaha, are you peeing your pants over that one? Cause you should be!

I’m kind of interested in hearing him dish on his fellow congresspeople. He’s already accused one woman of insider trading (along with Paul Pelosi). He said she was not involved in the stock market at all until she obtained a seat on the Ways and Means Committee. Interesting.

Chicken Little is a liar and a fraud so I'll just pass on whatever he "dishes". I doubt he'll even be able to find a publisher for his yet to be written and future imaginary NYT Best Selling book.
