Rep. George Santos says he is running for re-election, despite calls for him to resign and ongoing investigations at the federal, state and local levels.

"I am proudly announcing my bid for re-election for #NY03. This is about TAKING BACK our country and restoring greatness back to New York," heSantos' decision to seek a second term comes after he has repeatedly lied about his background, both before he was elected last year and since taking office.

In a statement Monday, Santos said that no one said he would win in 2022 because people said it was a safe Democratic seat. But, he said, he won by more than 8 percentage points. He beat Democrat George Zimmerman 53.8% to 46.2%. Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., expresses his support for former President Donald Trump ahead of his arraignment in New York Criminal Court on April 4, 2023."Not only won but made history as the first openly gay Republican elected to Congress," he said.

Santos’ campaign doesn't have much money to spend on his re-election at the moment. His campaign had just $25,000 in its account as of March 31, according to a filed Saturday with the Federal Election Commission. The campaign raised just $5,000 in the first three months of the year and spent $8,000 — all on refunding contributions to past donors.Monday,"I’m the Democrat who will replace Santos in Congress...The key to taking back the House is removing fraudster George Santos once and for all."

People must stop voting for unqualified candidates. We need resumes and qualification exams for public service candidates.

George lives and exists in an alternate universe!

Just shows how Americans love shit. Trump has been pooping on them for years. It's like ice cream to them.

Of course he is the political system is rampant with corruption and nobody is doing anything about it.

He will lose!

Will see how that goes, he's a Republican.

He belongs to jail not Congress.

pig

He isn't the worse liar in the government..

He has more moxie than TheDemocrats ! Remember when they said “I didn’t have sex with that 👩 “. Then got re elected?

George is so cool. Doing the Democrat grift over on the GOP. It's quite admirable.

Do Biden now....

Is he going to run another a different name and persona?

Says a lot about the system when a pathological liar doesn't get sacked like anyone else would.

He’s running out the clock to grift to the max. He couldn’t care less about his constituents otherwise he would have resigned awhile ago.

🤬

He’s got a better chance of seeing Jesus than winning his next election’

As H.L. Mencken said 'Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.'

IStandWithSantos

'On going investigations' means ain't sh** being done. Wink, nod.

Bet he claims the election was rigged when he loses. SMDH.

Why wouldn’t he? The only crime that’s truly unforgivable in today’s Republican Party is trying to govern seriously.

He learned the art of the grift.

Everything is so stupid.

WTAF is wrong with this freak!

Why are you giving Biden a pass for doing the same things?

Listen to the bell Santos or whatever your name is, it tolls for thee.

Sickening.. he should be expelled. Period.

Deluded narcissists gonna delusionaly narcissist

He needs 2 mandates, no? Or another year from the second. For pension

If we could elect Trump this phony can run & we'll elect him!

Total scum

No one underscores the absurdity of elected officials like this dude. Don’t they all lie? Like, seriously. Why is this dude supposed to be the guy who gets the speeding ticket at the Indy 500?

He learned from the democrats

This is exactly what happens when the news cycle drowns out frauds like this. America WAKE UP you are on fire.

The geeohpee way.

I spy another Loser.

If Long Islanders re-elect this crook, they deserve all the ridicule they will get for their decision.

Well, Trump is running also. What an we except from MAGA?

trump gotta trump.

Conman sees an opportunity to grift

Look at the lies others have told still in office

So maybe your precious democracy doesn't vote him in?

NewYork don’t make the same mistake twice. VoteGeorgeSantosOUT This pathological liar is an embarrassment

If we cannot make the necessary changes to our candidate vetting system to make it illegal for a candidate to literally make up their entire persona just to get elected, we are doomed. This man should never be allowed to run for anything again.

Only reason they do this is for fundraising they should make rules about how early you can “run for reelection”

and the fact he said he wouldn't, but, he's a congenital liar

So I guess he’s not running then.

stevenromo And he will win … watch!

This loss is going to be extra enjoyable.

george santos: i just wanted to let everyone know that bribe season is open and im taking applications

He previously said he would not seek a second term. Yet another lie.

Only in America, the 🤡 country
