Here in the New York City area, Republican Rep. George Santos is in the crosshairs. The new congressman was caught embellishing his resume and life story, and now the drums are pounding, the hounds are baying, protestors are marching, and war cries ring throughout metro-area newscasts.
Santos is being targeted just as soundly in Washington, D.C., where the word has gone out that he is persona non grata. One New York news anchor claimed on Monday that Santos’s name and office hours have yet to be installed on his D.C. office door. Plenty of politicians are sanctimoniously calling for Santos to stand down, both Democrats and Republicans.
But one Democrat rep who is usually quite outspoken is oddly quiet, keeping a low profile almost as if she’s hoping not to be noticed while the debate rages on.
It’s important to note that what George Santos did — lying about himself — is not illegal. The entire argument for insisting he steps down is an ethical one. But the same cannot be said about one of the most egregious liars in the House, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). Omar didn’t just lie about her background; she lied in order to commit outright fraud.
Beginning in 2009, Omar engaged in a fraudulent marriage to a British citizen who is almost certainly her brother in order to obtain legal residency, assistance, and educational U.S. benefits for him. She did this while she was already married to first husband, Ahmed Hirsi.
Omar married Hirsi (the father of her children) in 2002 in a Muslim religious ceremony, which the couple did not register with the state. In the late 2000s, Omar (and sometimes her husband, Hirsi) were often in the company of British citizen Ahmed Elmi, who had come to Minneapolis.

Waiting to hear from Blumenthal.
Biden was going to be asked for comment but he was being arrested with Mandela while trying to keep corn pop from taking over.
Huh ... And Bathhouse Barry said anything about it?
Good find.
If I was McCarthy I would respond after questions about him...
“We will get to him and his problem later on after we solve the corruption issue within the White House.” “Most important is the obvious criminal activities of the President and his family.” “At the same time, we have issues to deal with all across this capital that are effecting the USA.”

LOL
*All* of them are lying POS politicians.
Santos just admitted it up front.
I would call for Santos’ removal from Congress once Ilhan Omar is removed and on a deportation flight headed to Somalia ... not 1 second before.
Big f’n deal, if you got all the corrupt liars out of Congress, there would be very few left , if any.

“Born in Kenya” is probably the only true item in that resume.
most welcome... makes me laugh everytime
The only reason this is being thumped so hard is that Kathy Hochul would appoint his replacement should he resign.
With the extremely slim majority in the House, that would be politically significant.
Aside from that, does anyone think that anyone in DC actually cares about congress people lying or presidents having classified documents in their homes?
She’s the one who married her brother.
Russian dis-information.
