Republicans are so impressed by the cartoonish nature of his crimes; dude accepted literal gold bars. Clearly they see him as one of their own.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

He's giving former Rep. William Jefferson a run for his money.
(No pun intended.)
Tsk tsk tsk. Should have intended it. Always intend the pun or at least welcome it after the fact! 😁
Honorary Republican
The party of George Santos is ok with criminals doing crime?
You don’t say.
They want him to switch parties.
Won't happen. But Republicans do know it's free political capital to support him. Especially with Trump mired it legal trouble. It's not like NJ is going to elect a Republican anytime soon, and Phil Murphy is never going to appoint a Republican to replace him.
Won’t happen.
Yeah, heard that about Sinema, too.
EDIT: Evidently still hearing it.
Sinema didn't switch parties. Switching parties would require joining the Republican party for it to matter in the Senate. Sinema switched to independent (no party) and is still caucusing with the Democratic party.
She's literally telling prospective donors that, should she run for re-election, she'd appeal to Republican voters more than Dem ones.
She's a Republican in all but name and, with how much of a corrupt hypocrite she is, she'll fit right in once she makes it official.
It’s not like NJ is going to elect a Republican anytime soon
New Jersey has 12 members in the House of Representatives, and three of them are Republicans.
Yes, but a Senate seat requires more than the support of 25% of the population.
...for Senate. A Republican is not going to win a US Senate seat in NJ anytime soon.
Republicans: AHA! You keep accusing us of corruption but look at your guy here!
Democrats: oh shit, you're actually right. Lock him up!
Republicans: wait no
How unlikely is it really that members of a massively corrupt party is supporting a corrupt senator? Even though they're 'enemies', they're still on the same side of milking whatever grift they can while in office.
Party of law and order!
Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio and JD Vance being on your side is a REALLY bad look! I'm not saying guilt by association is a legitimate thing but..
I'm not saying guilt by association is a legitimate thing but..
I'll say it.
If there's 3 Nazis and 1 non-nazi eating lunch together, there's 4 Nazis sitting at that table.
Indeed. 🤔
We don't really live if a world that's this ridiculous?
Do we?
Do we?
What’s the opposite of ‘unlikely’?
Wtf is wrong with axios? Nevermind. Forget it. Moving on.
