"A complete liar!" "Resign!"

  Representative Santos from New York State has been deeply involved in a fraud scandal recently. He has admitted to fabricating key details such as educational background and work experience.

But Santos believes that "beautifying" his resume will not affect his good performance as a member of Congress.

  However, many members of the House of Representatives have expressed dissatisfaction with him, and some Democrats are gearing up to investigate him, and even his Republican colleagues have called on him to resign.

  On the 10th, two Democratic lawmakers submitted an ethics complaint against him to the Ethics Committee of the House of Representatives, saying that he failed to submit a timely, accurate and complete financial disclosure report, and urged the committee to investigate this.

  On the 11th, Cairo, chairman of the Republican Party in Nassau County, New York, said at a press conference with other Republican officials: "George Santos' campaign last year was full of deceit, lies and fabrications."

  Cairo accused Santos of disgracing the House and made it clear that the new congressman was not welcome at Republican headquarters.

"We don't think he belongs in Congress," he said.

  Cairo cited various false claims by Santos, including his previous claims of Jewish ancestry.

Cairo also told reporters that Santos presented a fake resume to the local Republican Party, which was also full of lies, including saying that he was a "star" on the Baruch College volleyball team and led his team to a "league championship."

  Other New York Republican local officials have also joined the call for Santos to step down.

Nassau County Executive Blackman called him a "total liar."

  De Esposito, a congressional Republican from New York state, said mercilessly: "Santos is incapable of serving in the House of Representatives and should resign."

  However, after the press conference, Santos made it clear to reporters that he would not resign.

Data map: McCarthy.

"Many people beautify their resumes like this" "Is he guilty?"

  The Republican McCarthy has just gone through 15 rounds of deadlock for many days and made great concessions to opponents in his party before he took the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Before the chair was warmed up, the scandal of Santos continued to ferment, forcing him to stand up and speak out.

  After several days of silence, McCarthy finally spoke out on the matter on the 11th. His response was very strong, but it was a bit "defensive" because he refused to put pressure on Santos to resign.

  McCarthy told reporters, "I try to do things constitutionally. Voters elected him. If there are concerns, he has to go through the ethics committee and let him go through that process first." He also said, "He will continue to serve in the House. "

  Members of Congress generally only leave office after being convicted.

McCarthy said, "What is the charge against him (Santos)? In today's America, that person is innocent until proven guilty." He also said: "If anything can prove that he (Santos) did wrong matter, then, we will deal with it at that time."

  Asked about Santos admitting to falsifying his résumé, McCarthy said, "A lot of people in the House, Senate and elsewhere have done that."

  However, McCarthy also said that Santos will not be assigned to important committees such as the Appropriations Committee, Ways and Means Committee, Financial Services Committee and Energy and Commerce Committee, but he does not rule out the possibility of Santos serving on other committees.
