The party of family values is at peak hypocrisy here.

So what will God boy Mikey do?

My guess is not much.

Maybe people who live on Long Island should quit voting. They gave us this guy and George Santos. The island seems to be filled with poor judges of character.

He had not only his mistress but his stepdaughter on his payroll.

If he's breaking the same rule for both of them it raises a creepy possibility.

Republicans are always proud when it's not a cabana boy.

Let's just skip to the part where nothing happens.

Republicans were forced against their will to get rid of even Santos.

Possibly in violation of House ethics rules? Didn't know they had those, but MTG is in office & she's gotta be somebody's mistress, it's just a question of two legs or four....

Democrats always over use their tried and true tactics such as Fanni Willis Atlanta DA or NYC DAs to gain power and corrupt others and then take a quick swag at actions of others. Nothing worse than Dem politicians claiming bad behavior of others when they typically and notoriously own bad behavior.

Maybe we need an administrative office of Democrat bad behavior. Hey the guy could be guilty of this but it is nothing compared to government in Chicago, SF, New York, Atlanta etc. Dems have ruined most big cities.

Just when you think the GQP has hit rock bottom, they grab a shovel and start digging.

Welcome to the age of trumpism where a candidate can be an absolute p.o.s. but if he yells his lies loud enough long enough all is over looked.

The party of family values and law and order is run by a collective adulterers, philanderers, misogynists, racists, rapists, pedophiles and felons as corrupt as the day is long.

When the evangelicals embraced the anti-christ I knew this nation was doomed.

"Rep. Anthony D'Esposito has not denied the allegations, instead claiming they are a distraction."

So very trumpy of him.

Just when you think the GQP has hit rock bottom, they grab a shovel and ~~start digging~~ kill their own dog with it.

If course, the naga morons flock to justify their scumbag house member.

It's almost as if all those values, morals and principals they claim to hold are BS.
