Speaker McCarthy has no backbone to stand up to blatant liars like George Santos, just like he refuses to stand up to his party’s blatant extremists who are holding the work of Congress hostage
Friend,
New York Representative George Santos has been indicted for thirteen felony counts yet somehow remains a member of Congress.
Why?
Because the House GOP and Speaker McCarthy have made it abundantly clear that they will go to extreme lengths to preserve their own power, day in and day out, putting politics over the people who elected them.
Speaker McCarthy has no backbone to stand up to blatant liars like George Santos, just like he refuses to stand up to his party’s blatant extremists who are holding the work of Congress hostage – refusing to pass needed spending bills to keep the government open, and instead attempting an unfounded impeachment of President Biden.
Democrats are working to prevent a government shutdown so that:
Thousands of federal employees keep their livelihoods
New enrollees can be approved for Social Security, Medicare, and SNAP benefits
Medical clinical trials continue to progress
And Republicans are clear – from refusing to kick a fraud like George Santos out of the House to putting MAGA extremists' agenda over the needs of working families – they will play games with people's lives if they think it will lead to political power. They will always pass the buck instead of taking responsibility for their irresponsible actions.
