Santos previously used the name ‘Kitara Ravache when he dressed in drag in Brazil in the 00s.
Santos has previously sparred with Drag Race alum Trixie Mattel on Twitter and is believed to be a fan of the show. He follows many of its contestants on Instagram.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
However, Garcia, who represents California’s 42nd District, didn’t just come for Santos with memes. Yesterday, he sponsored a resolution to have the Republican fabulist expelled from Congress.
On Twitter, Garcia said, “When you lie about the Pulse massacre, 9/11, the Holocaust, your career, and you defraud people and voters, you don’t deserve to have classified clearance or be in Congress. It’s time to expel George Santos.”
Garcia told reporters outside Congress, “[Santos’] continued pattern of fraud and deception is especially worrisome to our own LGBTQ+ community, and it’s time we act and immediately expel him from Congress.”
A group of House Democrats, led by Robert Garcia, are pushing a resolution to expel George Santos from Congress.
But, it won’t be so easy: The resolution, now headed to the House Ethics Committee, could take quite a while to process. https://t.co/L5cVEYNpmr pic.twitter.com/RQX87hOGYn

As Republicans now control the house, it’s likely the resolution—if it even reaches the voting stage—will fail.
Quizzed about Robert Garcia’s objections to him, Santos told a reporter, “I don’t even know who Robert Garcia is.”
Santos has remained defiant amid the controversy and has maintained he won’t resign.

Last night Santos was interviewed on Newsmax. He again tried to downplay his lies and push them as résumé embellishments. Claiming to want to “set the record straight”, he said “I never lied. I never worked for Goldman Sachs or Citigroup directly, but I did work through direct contracts for those firms in the management of limited partners and general partners relationships.”

Until they perp-walk him out of the House chambers on any number of charges, I really am tired of hearing about Santos.

The Speech and Debate clause basically guarantees that will never happen. Santos obviously lied about his resume and the People elected him anyway. I mean, some specifics about some lies came out later and are still coming out, but he’s obviously been a problem since his campaign started. If you elect lunatics to the WH, there’s a chance for the US to course correct. There is no chance to course correct for the Congress. It’s not a game, it’s the government. McCarthy can only lose 4 votes, he’s not kicking him out.

Republicans are protecting him because so many of them are just as dishonest and criminal as Santos is. If he goes down, they may be next.
Also, that tweet is ::::Chef Kiss::::

The leadership is taking no action on him because their majority in the house is razor-thin and there are 20-30 members of their own party willing to burn it all down if they don’t get their way. McCarthy needs every vote he can get, regardless of what ugly toads he has to kiss.

In the name of truth, transparency and democracy can’t wait to VOTE OUT these GOP criminals in 2024.

Problem is, we never seem to vote them out. Every state seems happy sending people to congress that other states look at and wonder, “what were those voters thinking”. I’m a conservative from TN, yet it still amazes me that we keep voting to send Blackburn back to D.C.
IMHO, this is an issue on both sides of the aisle with any state that sends the radical party members to office instead of those who are willing to work together for the good of everyone.

Best freeze his campaign funded bank accounts asap.

O.K. Here’s me showing how big a conspiracy theorist I can be. I’ve yet to see this liar not be wearing a sweater in any pics. I’m thinking the loser is playing the entire country with a scam of everything he claims is actually the opposite. I wonder if the sweater is worn to help conceal the fact that he is actually a woman wearing a binder to conceal breasts. He claims to be gay yet doesn’t really seem to seriously support the gay agenda, so is he really straight. Of course, if he is really a straight female, then his preference of sex with men would make his character “gay”. If you flip every “fact” he states, his stories become believable. I won’t be shocked to see him expose himself some day as a total fraud who wanted to prove just how corrupt politics have become and how easy it is to join the corruption. It will be interesting to see what his voting record on key issues looks like. Is he really a Dem instead of his claim to be Republican? Will he be able to actually vote yes on Republican issues, if so? For the good of this country, I really hope my theory is correct because if he is the scum bag he presents to be, we’re just digging ourselves a deeper hole.

As I predicted, Santos is becoming the darling of social medial, the subject of phantasmagorical discourse, featured in memes about Drag Race and Real Housewives fanfics, exchanging witty barbs with Trixie Mattel, and filmed left, right and center while he stunts, snickers and spray-tans his way into positions of power and influence in Washington DC. And we’re all paying his salary.
We need that sh|tweasel out of our government.
