So, the Republican leadership still seemed to be quite OK with Rep Santos serving on the committees.

It was Rep Santos, himself, who decided that he may not be fit to serve on the committees.

Looks like Rep Santos is also losing support in his home district....

"Looks like Rep Santos is also losing support in his home district...."

And from other recently elected House Republicans in NY state:

"I think it's obvious it's the right decision," said Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), who toppled House Democrats' former campaign chief in a swing-district midterm triumph two months ago.

Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-N.Y.) echoed that sentiment: "As I said, I think he should resign and focus on his defense. But, do welcome this decision."

They don't want any of his con artist stink on them.

Yes, this is my sense too:

You can be pretty sure that McCarthy forced Santos to step down from committees not based on what we already know, but on what he knows we're going to find out.

I don't know about stepping down.... dancing down steps Broadway-style, maybe?

That he was Paul Pelosi's real gay lover/drug dealer and the second hammer was his?

Unsurprisingly, George Santos's top staffer was at the center of the Hunter Biden laptop origin story.

Like Biden did in the 1988 presidential race.

Keep an eye on Santos that man would take candy from a baby.

Santos, knowing that he could never get re-elected, has decided to do nothing. He will show up for close votes but, other than that, he's going to be a no show. IOW: He's going to get paid by the tax payers to sit on his thumbs for the next two years.

One must give credit to the press gaggle that followed him everywhere and the late night guys. He knew that was never going to stop. Now he can hide in his office.

When he lesves Congress he could revive his drag act.

Why wait to leave?
He should just show in drag like Corporal Klinger every damn day.
Honestly that would probably own the libs better than most of the other failed attempts to own the libs by dying of COVID.

According to a 1985 study that would make him 12x more likely to be a child molester.

That's all of the GQP.

They aren't interested in helping America, only their donors.

Is that thing specific to drag queens or Does it include all gay men?

People who post "studies" like that see no difference between gay or trans or drag queens.

Of course they don't but if there's research out to there that shows homosexuals 12 times more likely to molest a child that might explain why so many cultures dislike homosexuals.

I'm not sure, but that poster might have been terminated with extreme prejudice.

#19 The person most likely to molest a child is the father of the child.

@ #21 well you know the only solution to that problem is for you not to have any kids.

For the record about 60% of molestation victims are the victims of people that they know but are not immediate family members.

I wonder what Stephen Colbert has to say about this?

I found the study.

"Using random-probability studies reported by three different sets of investigators, an estimate that about 4 percent of the general population is bisexual-to-homosexual was employed to generate relative degrees of 'dangerousness' of the various sexual orientations. It appears that at least a third of all the reported child molestations involve homosexual acts, while girls account for about two-thirds of children victimized. Those who practice homosexual acts are at least 12 times more apt to molest a child sexually, and with suitable corrections for bisexuals (who molest both genders), probably at least 16 times more apt to molest a child. A review of recorded cases of teacher-pupil sexual interaction indicated that of the 30 instances detailed in the literature, 24 (80 percent) involved homosexual acts. It appears that teachers who practice homosexual acts are between 90 to 100 times more apt to involve themselves sexually with pupils than teachers who confine themselves to heterosexual acts. (Author abstract)"

yikes.
