BREAKING: GOP Rep. George Santos says he won’t resign after New York Republicans urged him to step down over his lies.

— Embattled Republican Rep. George Santos of New York said he won't resign from Congress on Wednesday, rebuffing calls from fellow New York Republicans who denounced him in a press conference for lying about his background.

Republicans from New York's Nassau County called on Santos to resign, as did Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, whose district neighbors Santos' district. Santos represents New York's 3rd congressional district, which includes parts of Nassau County and Queens.

Cool. Now do Biden

So far he hasn’t lied as much as Joe or Schifty.

This can’t be his real resume…

Why only Santos? No other politician lied about his qualifications to get elected?

And Biden said he graduated top of his class when he was at the bottom

So what?

Everyone is calling his statements fabrications and exaggerations. Just call them for what they are BOLD FACE LIES and be done with it.

ThatShockratees Can I ask you WHY you didn't question any of his claims until AFTER he was elected? Too many people fell down on the job or didn't do their job at all.

GMAT 710.......HAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAH.........first red flag.....

So my resume ISNT the problem....

So what…. Biden lies to us Every DAY! Make him RESIGN!

Santos is fake like Melanie Trump and her so-called Einstein visa and foreign languages. 😆 🤣

A politician who LIES. Color me SHOCKED

Wow. Very fast. What about liar Adam Schiff?

Where was this deep diving hard hitting journalism when Elizabeth Warren claimed to be a Native American her whole life? Try to find her DNA test release video. Its scrubbed

Is he an American citizen? Is anybody investigating that?

GeorgeSantos even made up a GMAT score!

And adam shify claimed he had evidence that Trump worked with russia along with 100's more lies to the whole country. Fact is dems lie to all of us everyday SO call them out, They change elections with their lies

Summa cum laude ah ada dai la*de kabal naaye college pakam mazhai ku kooda odhungadha naai US congressman aagudhu Elam unala dhan GOP

Looking forward to CBS exposing Joe Biden's Fabrications!

none of this matters because he is now an untouchable.

Show George Santos some respect. He’s the only person ever to have won an Olympic gold medal in beach volleyball, the Little League World Series, a Grammy award, a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes.

Way to catch up!

I have no problem with this if it means that a Democrat was denied the seat. His lies are of no consequence to me, but Democrat policies are.

Missing Biden’s News?

Again, HOW IN THE HELL did this not get picked apart by opp research?

Just so we’re clear, the people of his district elected the guy who’s there not the paper. Not the one they ended up with who lied.

Now lets pull up Bidens Resume. Top of his class, first to attend college in his family....

hey CBS, now do elizabeth warren.

Everybody jokes about this being his real name. Can cbsnews actually verify that for us? Seriously 😳

Please compare to Biden’s lies about his past. Hypocrites

Hey. Heard about possible top secret documents being found in a closet in some office. You may want to assign a reporter to look into! Douchebags.

They’re called blatant lies

Incorrect claims or lies?

This looks like the resume of someone just out of school. And with Skills as the top heading, looks like someone who didn't finish school, or work anywhere, which is in fact the case. A real executive has a C.V. not a resume. And this is no C.V.

Doesn’t the media usually vet this stuff before the elections? Where was their reporting then?

Wow! What a scoop!!

Apparently, Joe Biden had multiple locations for the storage of his stolen classified material from the time he was in the Obama administration.

Are you calling for a raid of Biden's home for further classified documents he took illegally and why was the news not reported until this week when it was discovered 6 days before mid term elections. you are a news outlet aren't you CBS

Santos must know people check this stuff.

That is a Sales Job . Goldman Sachs Asset Manager . Did he sell anybody or attend? NYU as well, I attended a classroom . Its embellishment, not lying. You pick words carefully . Be careful what you accuse as what is said may be true but you percieve it wrong.

🤯

Who lists their GMAT scores on a resume?

Ignoring the lies, I don't think I would have even hired him as an intern with this sloppy mess...

It is funny how the news is just now finding this?

Why did this come out After election? Seems like news organizations would have taken a tiny peek into his past.

Surprised there isn't a section for aliases

Gave uncle Frank a purple heart when he was VP No vaccine available until he was president Al queda is gone from Afghanistan Got arrested for protesting civil rights

Seriously, someone has to find his parents citizenship docs (and his too)

Just wait……there will be more. Apparently he was hooked up gangsters.

Shouldn’t and LAW and his CONSTITUENTS have the final word? After all, it’s about LAWFULLY REPRESENTING THEM (not about Santos deciding there’s more grift there that he can personally benefit from).

If he worked at any fortune 500 company (or any company big or small) and falsified his résumé as much as he did, he be fired immediately. Something is wrong here……

Loser

Typical

Shocker!

Would the Democrats give up a seat if the reverse happened instead? ...NO

Santos knows his job will make him a millionaire so why would he resign? Besides, he's got plenty of lying company.😉

DanJack45260569 America is a fvcking mess

Not the Republicans that have been lying for 2 years about the election being stolen? Or the ones who plead the 5th during the hearings? Or the ones the ones saying the Capital insurectioners were just visiting like tourists? I know it wasn't them! 🤔

Why should he - If he does go all others that have lied must go also.

This is a decision not left for the alleged criminal to decide.He committed crimes with his campaign funds.He lied to get elected.I wouldnt trust this guy around insider nfo about our govt or congress because he doesnt work or represent New Yorkers-Its whoever funded this con!

Why is only Democrats do the right thing?

Lock him out of his office! GeorgeSantos

They do not resign Only Democrats so quick to resigning

What should be done is making his time in office a living hell and nightmare.

Old people and Latin people don't quite good jobs. Y'all just got to ride these 2 years out.🤣🤣🤣

His colleagues on both sides need to make his life miserable on the hill. Then he’ll leave.

Biden can resign first.

George Santos is a Pathological Liar

Curious how everyone except his constituents seem upset. Upon further review politicians lying to anyone listening is apparently not a criminal act because if it was all politicians would be indicted. When the folks in the 3rd district want to recall him he'll be gone

I neeeeed WL haha

Like I said he should of been checked out doing the election if it was so important! Why he wasn’t smear like other opponents running? I want to know who is responsible for not checking him out during the election!!

George. Do yourself a favor and take your republicans colleagues advice and immediately resign.

Rotten politicians!!

Now the liars want him to quit? this is the Republican Party rule if you can’t lie your out. The public elected him now they are the ones to get him out. Classic if we don’t like you we will kick you out. The next person to take over is a democrat who ran.

Why should he resign? He followed the same tactics that DT used to get elected president. Lie about everything. Your income, taxes, family, heritage, education, election finance, people you know then don’t, and lying about everything. That’s how you prove that you’re a republican

If our rag-tag team can beat his in the ski tournament, that'll wipe the smirk off of his face.

Can not be trusted

No Man Is An Island.

Who is his mob boss

Why should he when Biden and Sen Warren did the same thing and there still in office

How long is it going to take to remove this impostor? Why do these processes take so long in that country? I understand the need for checks and balances to minimise or prevent abuse of the judicial and administrative processes, but… My word! 👀😳🙄

If,if he was just a democrat.He would be their partys best.

Why would he resign when this is the first REAL job he has that can be verified?

Well colour me shocked…

Stick it to the Republican Party Santos! You should put to the floor of the House of Congress a vote of No Confidence in the Speaker of the House and ask the Chamber to vote on his removal.

I don’t know why we’re all shocked and surprised of his behavior he only did what Donald Trump did to become president politics in this country has become a fucking laughingstock of the world🤦‍♀️

Yeah... he was NEVER going to listen to his electors after he suckered them the first time.... This guy is playing zero sum game.

Resign at once

The needed his vote only to be discarded after he served his purpose. This is such a republican move, all of them are a den of inequalities.

Just vote him out!😎

That's because he thinks he's the messiah

Haul him out and lock him up

I won't ever leave If you want me to stay Nothing you could do That could turn me away Hanging on anyway Believing the things you say Being the fool Ain't that what you said? Ain't that what you said? Ain't that what you said? Liar Liar, liar

USrepublican, what are u going to do about GeorgeSantos

Then joe needs to step down too for all his lies

🥾

Guy - you have zero support from your constituents. Give it up already - you will get no where. Think you need to have a come to Jesus meeting with yourself before you want to serve the public.

Just following in the footsteps of lying Joe Biden.

Can he be fired

Kick him out.

He has that face you want to punch but you don't know why

Then kick him out. All politicians lie. Nothing new.

What he’s perfect for the job, maybe he’s the “Chosen One “ Considering he’s in a House Full of Liars

Why would anyone say all this and then keep saying it once caught ?

It would/should have been easier for him to have been properly vetted BEFORE the election. I get the feeling that all that was required was a warm body for this seat. Now we have to go through a tremendous amount of work to get rid of him.

I’m surely the rest of the republicans, are afraid to lead to the authority to investigate all politicians because of their liar síndrome and be not up to that position

He's just taking orders. He has no power over his own decisions..a paid pawn...

He won't be on any committees and we will pay him for nothing. Just like MTG.

DonMaryEllen1 Remember when he didn’t recognize “his” name?

Predictable response.

That’s fine it’ll be easier to find him when the charges are filed.

Hopefully, state and federal law enforcement can expeditiously uncover the evidence they need to indict, prosecute, and convict George Santos. That’s the only way he will be removed before the next election.

Looks like Santos is willing to allow his “stench” of unethical corruption to spread all over the rest of the House Republicans!🤔

OkayCharisse He needs to go 🤬

Birds of a feather…..!🤷‍♀️

Will the GOP kick him out of the party like they tried to do to Romney and Cheney? No. Lying is so on brand for the GQP. Snitching is the only crime. That and not going along with the herd.

Of course he won't. He's obviously an narcissistic sociopath who believes he's the model of personal integrity. Reminds me of someone.... santosmustresign

P.O.S.

Typical Republican. Won’t do what’s right. And he’s even wanted by the Brazilian government for crimes there. Boy what the you people are learning about life from these politicians.
