JUST IN: Embattled New York Republican Rep. George Santos has voluntarily recused himself from serving on committees temporarily, according to multiple GOP lawmakers.

Santos made those comments during the GOP's weekly closed-door conference meeting Tuesday morning. Santos noted his presence was a distraction, those in the meeting said. He did not answer questions from NPR as he left the meeting.

On his way out. Bet the door hits him.

Finally an ounce of decency from a con artist.

Santos needs to recuse himself from ever again being in Congress 1 more hour.

It's a start.

Let’s please make sure someone fact checks this

Me either...

Had to recuse Himself after a meeting with the head provoker. Interesting Very Interesting.

Oh, come on. It’s not like he married his brother. Or engaged in insider trading. Or believes Guam will tip over. Or tried to get Twitter to censor journalists. Or had sex with a Chinese spy. Or told his supporters to get in people’s faces and make sure they aren’t welcome.

He should not have stepped down

Anyone think Biden will step down for being a lying politician?

They know something we don’t know.

I guess admitting he performed in drag was a step too far for the GOP

That's too bad. I was so looking forward to watching him humiliating the party who put him there.

That's dumb. The dems cheat lie and they there delinquents in office. Clinton,wiener,range, Mendez, I could go on an on..conservatives need to keep own and unto dems what they do to us.

Clip from committees

He's lying.

Indictments are coming, and the GOP knows it. Santos is not stepping down 'voluntarily'. That swindler doesn't have an atom of decency in him.

The beginning of the end for liar Santos, or whatever his name is.

Until he's 'cleared' That made me spurt my coffee.

He shouldn't have

History is filled with terrible people. Even today they continue to garner attention/headlines, because we humans are drawn like moths to the twin flames of drama & conflict. We can't allow ourselves to ignore them, we can't turn away and therefore we are forever plagued by them.

foxnewsalert FoxNews HouseGOP SenateGOP newsmax_twitts OANN TuckerCarlson seanhannity IngrahamAngle Of course he recused himself. Committee assignments would mean he’d have to work! It’s all about attention, book deals and movie rights. The joke’s on us!

So he’s a liar and doesn’t do shit. Got it.

the dude snaked up now he will snake back down

'Voluntarily' ... yeah, right. McCarthy clearly finally took some action but put it on Santos to make a statement so the rabid mob doesn't go after him.

George Santos is ELECTED to SERVE his constituents. Recusing himself from committees deprives them of representation. Santos should SERVE as long as he is in office unless otherwise censured!

So, the conman has agreed not to waste his time on the unproductive work of legislation so he can stay free to grift more.

SantosMustResign resignnowgeorge

Does this mean he's gonna get a job?

This is almost certainly not voluntary.

Republicans always do the bare minimum. McCarthy & Co. still get his vote.

lol

The rule is established. Liars must step down. Joe Biden must resign now.

Thanks! Progress on earth with laws on it amidst the DOJ investigation & everything! I also saw something briefly about George Santos having met with McCarthy recently. So that seems key here, as also a sign of sanity existing via then no Committees for this SNL icon!

Nah, something about to go down; not buying this. All that 💩 that was thrown, something must’ve stuck with the FEC.

How many days does this fraud and chronic liar have to remain in office to get a lifetime pension and healthcare? The ultimate grift.

Is Senator Warren stepping down for claiming she was an Indian her entire life to get privilege and positions?

He needs time clear his names

He caved

He’s like Costanza at Play Now. Why should I leave and get half when I could get it all. Gets his own bathroom as well.

Every other profession on Earth--commit fraud and get fired. In the GOP, commit fraud=become a hero, get promoted and make 200k a year+. The GOP is a crime syndicate.

Guess he'll be working on the Penski file all day.

Voluntarily my ass

Voluntarily? How can you know that for sure? Just because he said it doesn’t make it voluntary

GeorgeSantos DON'T DO IT! Your constituents can recall you if they feel you've failed them! In the mean time REDEEM yourself by working hard for them!!

One in the win column, he should immediately be fired from Congress and sent back to whatever lying rock he crawled out from under.

So now he will be collecting a salary and benefits for doing nothing?

the santos fiasco is honestly one of the funniest things that's ever happened and it's very fun

“voluntarily”

Is he really? Or did he just, like, say that?

He's not embattled, he's a fraud who's backing needs serious investigation.
