Well isn't this special......George Santos will be running as an Independent....

[a kennedy]

Embattled former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., said he is suspending his plans to run for reelection as a Republican and will instead run as an independent, blaming the shift on the "embarrassing showing in the House" Friday.

The House on Friday passed a $1.2 trillion spending package that would finally fund the federal government through the end of September, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., filed a motion to vacate against House Speaker Mike Johnson – the procedure that led to the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

After Friday, "I have reflected and decided that I can no longer be part of the Republican Party… The Republican Party continues to lie and swindle its voter base. I in good conscience cannot affiliate myself with a party that stands for nothing and falls for everything," Santos said in a post on X.

1. To quote a famous talk show host...

Isn’t it past his jail time? I know the comment was made for Trump, but isn’t it ama8’g how many of them that could apply to?

3. I'm losing hope

That any of the congress coup planners will be indicted.

5. I have never had hope of that happening.

Even if by some miracle the orange one goes to jail (the worst that would ever happen is house arrest, but that won’t happen either), the coup planners never will. I knew our system is unjust, but I have lost a lot of faith I had in it.

I've lost faith in the system and in a lot of people, too. 💔

6. He should move to rural Georgia, he would

have a very good chance of getting elected. Hell they're dumb enough to elect MTG down there!

9. Maybe MTG could support him like she did when they needed his vote for McCarthy.

7. Please, if there is one decent bone in your body George...just fade to black. Sarah...a new friend for you!

Maybe there should be a fakes and wannabes party. It will be interesting to see how he funds any run for office.

8. Pretty sure that will help the Democratic candidate

10. Wait....isn't that what HE did?????

"The Republican Party continues to lie and swindle its voter base. I in good conscience cannot affiliate myself with a party that stands for nothing and falls for everything,"

OMG, shameless!!!!

This should be a billboard in his district.
