Presumed innocent until proven guilty. I'm good with that principle.
Not even sure if I want automatic removal from Congress just because of a convention or something, it needs to depend on what that conviction is about
Ultimately, it should be the voter's decision. Not sure if there is a mechanism for the people in his district to "recall" him. This looks like it would be a good application of the "recall" procedure if there is one.
But "committee assignment" is not up to the voters. It's up to controlling party's leadership. This is where the party leadership needs to own up to the morals of appointing unethical persons to committee positions.

Most people don't even know who MTG is. And in about two weeks, when the media moves on to something else, nobody except the people in his district will know who this guy is.

Just when you thought...
Rep. George Santos also known as drag queen named ‘Kitara’ in Brazil over a decade ago
US Rep. George Santos reportedly dressed as a drag queen named “Kitara” while living in Brazil more than a decade ago as more details of the congressman’s convoluted identity continue to emerge.
Santos (R-NY), who’s reportedly gone by a number of aliases in his truth-challenged past, appears to be depicted in a photo in a drag costume from 2008, according to an article from the Substack site “The Handbasket” by reporter Marisa Kabas.
The latest look into Santos’ younger years was revealed to Kabas by Eula Rochard, a drag queen in Brazil and former friend of Santos.
Santos and Rochard met when Rochard was already an established drag queen in a Brazilian city next to Rio de Janeiro, according to the report.
“I think I met him when he was around 16 or 17 years old,” she said of Santos, who used to go by Anthony back then. “He used to hang out in my house while his mom was playing Bingo.”
Santos has reportedly used the pseudonyms Anthony Devolder and Anthony Zabrovsky.

Speaking of Frank Zappa in the other thread, I find this an appropriate tie-in.

To be fair, he does have his uses.
The next time you are having a really FUBAR time of it, you can look at yourself in the bathroom mirror and say out loud, "These days may suck, but at least I'm not George Santos."

Whereas he can look in the mirror and say 'Hey, at least I had dinner with Abraham Lincoln'

Lying Long Island Rep. George Santos finally admitted to dressing up as a woman in the past— though he denied he was a “drag queen” while talking to reporters at LaGuardia Airport on Saturday.
“No, I was not a drag queen in Brazil, guys. I was young and I had fun at a festival. Sue me for having a life,” the embattled Republican congressman said, in his first public response since allegations that he performed as a drag queen named Kitara emerged last week.
Santos, who is openly gay, had repeatedly tried to shoot down the reports of his cross-dressing past, which emerged last week after a photo from 2008 was posted online by Eula Rochard, a drag queen in Brazil and former friend of Santos.
A video also surfaced of what appeared to be the freshman rep clad in a black dress and sunglasses, boasting about performing as a drag queen at the Pride parade in the Rio suburb of Niteroi in 2005.
When contacted by The Post about the 2005 video, Santos responded in a text message: “Absolutely false and just another bit of nonsense from the pile-on effect I’m dealing with.”
Santos has been caught in a seemingly never-ending web of lies about his college education, employment history, ethnicity and other aspects of his life.
JWHT - but probably with a baseball bat.

That’s the 21st century version of “I didn’t inhale”.

I heard or read somewhere that he was also at the Last Supper.

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) claims in a newly surfaced interview that he was mugged in broad daylight a block from Trump Tower in Manhattan — and the crooks even took the shoes off his feet.
Seeking to demonstrate the impact of rising crime, the newly elected Long Island lawmaker told a Brazilian podcast that he was attacked on Fifth Ave. and E. 55th St. on one of the city’s fanciest shopping strips in the summer of 2021.
“They robbed me, took my briefcase, took my shoes and my watch. And that was in broad daylight,” he said, speaking in his native Portuguese. “I was leaving my office, going to the garage, getting my car, and I was mugged.”
The podcast host incredulously asked Santos: “They stole your shoes in the middle of Fifth Ave.?”
“In the middle of Fifth Ave.,” he retorted, pinpointing the spot of the alleged crime just a block from Trump Tower at 725 Fifth Ave.
Santos, who has admitted to lying about everything from his work history to education, also made a curious remark about the muggers’ race.
“They weren’t Black. They were even white,” Santos said, as if he might have expected the supposed criminals to be African Americans.
Aside from the mugging, Santos claimed that his Florida home was once burglarized because he “was attending a Republican party” on New Year’s Eve and that he was once the victim of an assassination attempt.
“We have already suffered an attempt on my life, an assassination attempt, a threatening letter, having to have the police, a police escort standing in front of our house,” Santos said.
Santos did not respond to requests for comment about the supposed incidents. Police told MSNBC they couldn’t confirm them without more details.
