Rep. George Santos tells GOP colleagues he won't serve on House committees

of New York will recuse himself from serving on House committees, he told his GOP colleagues in a closed-door meeting Tuesday, two Republican aides in the meeting confirmed to CBS News.

Santos was assigned to the House Small Business Committee and Science, Space and Technology Committee earlier this month by House Republican leaders. His decision not to sit on the two panels comes a day after Santos met with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Capitol Hill, though McCarthy has not disclosed what they discussed.

In the meeting of the House Republican conference, Santos apologized to his colleagues for being a distraction, the two sources told CBS News. An aide to Santos said in a statement that he is"reserving his seats on his assigned committees until he has been properly cleared of both campaign and personal financial investigations."

Posted 10x yesterday. Move ON!

Any chance this guy is D.B. Cooper - his background is as shady and mysterious. You couldn’t make up such a character?

Not good enough. He needs to be tried for election fraud via running under false pretenses, basically a form of perjury. Falsifying information on government documents is still a crime.

why does he look like

How else was he going to have time to be the first person on mars?

The jew lobby putting the clamp on his nuts. These only allow themselves to deceive in their name.

Resign now.

CHueyBurns You know like Lizzy the Indian and Dickie the Vietnam War hero.

CHueyBurns 🤣😅😆😆🤣🤣😅😆🤣😆😅 Is being delusional now a requirement for being a completely morally bankrupt Republican?

CHueyBurns Figuratively Santos is the fruit of MAGA Republican ideology. His election to Congress embodies all the principles of their political ideology which has established “ alternative facts” as fundamentally truthful. More Santos or MTG-like are in MAGA Republican leadership pipe

CHueyBurns Yep, he’s a liar. I’ll start caring when Elizabeth Warren stops pretending to be Native American.

CHueyBurns He's getting a deal or a threat to do this as most con men don't give up just like this.

CHueyBurns George Santos is a biopic waiting to happen. It’s bound to be a mini series on Hulu, like Drop Out.

CHueyBurns 🥱

CHueyBurns Hero. We love you Santos.

CHueyBurns Santos is proud of his lies and says he has nothing to hide. Who's the black guy smiling in the background? He appears to be having a good time.

CHueyBurns RepGeorgeSantos lied to be elected and should be fired, just like we would be for lying on a resume.

CHueyBurns keep up the pressure & make GS accountable

CHueyBurns Bye bye

CHueyBurns I don’t care….I don’t want this guy to go away. It’s like a case study in delusion. He goes away so does the circus. Look, you libs got Fedderman - can we keep this guy? We both have a useless clown we’re embarrassed by…call it even.

CHueyBurns He thought the white power sign would help him🤔

CHueyBurns Well, good luck with that

CHueyBurns

CHueyBurns '....because the NYT and the rest of you found out about almost all of my lies. Almost.'

CHueyBurns Such a blatant liar! Misrepresented himself at every turn. This is unbelievable. He should go to jail.

CHueyBurns The joke he makes of our government reveals the reality of its greatest substance. These people are puppets to what ever generates the most money. Stop pretending there is anything wholesome about it. He's as wholesome as it gets.

CHueyBurns Post hoc fallacy

joe and omar should step down too they lied

McCarthy looks nervous.

The voter’s put George in,they’ll have to vote him out. Why didn’t New Yorkers know who they were voting for? What does that tell you about New York? ***Could add few other states*** When America blinks an eye,they put themselves in a mess😜.

Even the compulsive lying, conniving ,thieving con man made a better decision about his fitness to be on committees than you Kevin. Think about that Kevin.

Clear everything up?!?!?! He’s a pathological liar. There’s no “clearing” things up. RepublicanHouseClownShow RepublicansAreTheProblem

What an embarrassment for the GOP. SpeakerMcCarthy had a chance to address this before Stantos was put on committees but, once again, had no backbone to stand up to his MAGA caucus. EliseStefanik should be ashamed for backing this fraud but there is no shame for this bunch.

Brought to you by Pfizer paidpartnership censorship

I believe that Santos was 'told' to recuse himself.

polialertcom 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maybe McCarthy got a tip off by the DOJ.

'He!' 'He!' You are the Speaker of the House and the Leader of the Republican Caucus. YOU ARE THE SOB WHO NEEDS TO CLEAR IT UP!

Remind me again. Who put this lying coward on a committee in the first place? We the people deserve better than this joke of a Republican Party

New Yorkers should unite behind NY03 voters and don’t vote for any Republican up & down the ballot(s) unless George Santos resigns SantosMustResign

Voters put him office under false pretenses. He lied to elected, par for the course with GOP leadership.

Republicans have no ethics.

So if dictator McCarthy did his job speaker Santos wouldn’t have been on the committee

'He's such an embarrassment, but he's my embarrassment, and he voted for me so he's not a great embarrassment and certainly not an embarrassment enough to resign...but still it was an appropriate enough thing for him to do.......and I love the guy no matter how he dresses..'

😂😂😂😂

Actually the right thing would have been for him to be removed you spineless piece of garbage

It doesn't matter in the UniParty swamp.

“He asked me if he could do that.”

I am quite sure it was 'Voluntary'

translation: 'Santos told me he's about to get his butt kicked in another big story, so I told him he's off the committees. Because it's either that or he resigns. And, you know, he can't resign because I need every last chiseler's vote.'

But voters did not elect him. They elected the persona he has fabricated.

McCarthy acting with blinding speed, nah, he needed to talk with his handlers first,

That’s a lot of clearing.

don't credit this coward. he had nothing to do with it.

So he has better judgement than SpeakerMcCarthy?

McCarthy is what Trump grabs.

It would have been an appropriate decision for McCarthy to keep him off committees until everything “clears up” (hint: it won’t - will get worse from here). But you can’t count on McCarthy to make an appropriate decision.

Why’d that take so long?…

“I would have had him on committees despite all of this, but it was appropriate for him to recuse himself”. Have I got that right Kev?

Clear everything up? The shredder’s working overtime, I guess.

House GOP eyeing backdoor tactic to block Rep. Ilhan Omar from Foreign Affairs CommitteeHouse Republicans are scrambling to find a legislative tactic to keep Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar off the House Foreign Affairs Committee, after failing to unify their conference behind the idea. Why do people feel the need to cater to this woman? She adds nothing of value to the Foreign Affairs Committee except opinions that spit in the face of at least one close ally, tinged with anti-Semitism. If the House of Representatives doesn’t get rid of this traitor, then it is clear that Washington is out of touch with Americans. Ilhan needs exiled from this country in my opinion
