Santos was indicted on 13 criminal charges and has lied about his education, his employment, his residence, his religious background, and more.
The House of Representatives on Wednesday is expected to take up a resolution to censure Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff for his role in investigating former President Donald Trump. The resolution, sponsored by GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, might not make it far. Democrats are likely to call to table it, and would succeed if they get enough Republican support.
But one high-profile Republican in the House, serial liar George Santos of New York, released a video this morning supporting the resolution.
“Congressman Schiff abused his power to pursue the Trump campaign and its campaign staff,” Santos says in a video posted to his Twitter account. “This abhorrent behavior is unacceptable for a member of Congress,” he said, adding: “We must preserve the integrity of the U.S House of Representatives.”
As CNN reports, the resolution claims Schiff “exploited his positions on HPSCI (House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence) to encourage and excuse abusive intelligence investigations of Americans for political purposes.
