Its official. Republicans are so embarrassing that even former Representative George Santos no longer wants to be a part of the party.
Santos stated on X that 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.
Link to tweet
Santos indicated that he intends to run as an independent in the upcoming congressional race in New Yorks 1st congressional district.
Santos was expelled from Congress in December of 2023.

The guy was ridden out of on a rail. By his own party.
And, we know with certitude that he's a serial liar. Why should we believe he's being truthful now?
