Remember how Republicans demanded Katie Hill be removed from Congress? Remember why? Her ex-husband sold nude photos to the Daily Mail, a British trash publication. Hill then sued the Daily Mail for Revenge Porn and was told as a woman she has no rights because her nude body is "a matter of public interest" and then following the revelation she had sexy time with a man (WHO! WAS! NO! HER! HUSBAND!) she resigned from pressure from the Rightwing Corporate Media campaign.
It's a fools game to expect Republicans to act with integrity or morality. Republicans care about one thing, getting into political office to exert power over the American people. The Republican Party is a collection of bigots, thieves, and wannabe murderers.
The Republicans have a scandal playbook they always break out that they crafted in the 1990's under President Clinton and honed to perfection in the post George W. Bush Era, against President Obama and the elected Democrats of that Era. Get the Democrats to resign through whatever means possible and never resign themselves, nor even acknowledge anything, no matter how serious.
First off, Republicans can always count on the Corporate Media beginning any resignation scandal with it's a BothSides issue. And worse, media types will always frame the issue as Democrats promised to be "transparent" and should be better than Republicans so this breach of decorum and moral failing by this Democrat is worse than any Republican scandal!
Second, conservatives will flood every social media platform with Whataboutisms and demand the Republicans play hardball for once because they are keenly aware of Republicans always cry to the media and the media is always ready to frame "scandals" from a Rightwing narrative.
Third, once the Republican denies everything (even and especially in the face of overwhelming evidence) he just sits tight and waits for the media cycle to move on to the newest thing and if that doesn't materialize then Faux News gins up the latest Rightwing Outrage over Dr. Seuss or Gas Stoves or whatever.
So, 'George Santos' is never going to resign. Period. He will serve his entire term.
- Boofer O'Kavanaugh didn't resign despite being a rapist and having his "baseball ticket" debt wiped clean (Mother Jones reporter Stephanie Mencimer says it was Kavanaugh's father).
- Clarence Thomas didn't resign after his drunken wife Ginni Thomas helped launch a Coup to overthrow the United States Government.
- Roy Moore didn't resign despite being a child molester.
- Dennis Hastert didn't resign as Speaker of the House despite being a child rapist and sexual predator, although Coach Denny did eventually go to jail.
- Mad Nazi Cawthorn didn't resign despite being an FSB agent.
- Matt Gaetz isn't going to resign.
- None of the January 6th co-conspirators will resign as they see a chance to execute their planned Coup using the undemocratic legerdemain of Senate and House to accomplish their long planned overthrow of the United States Government.
- There are dozens more examples at the State and Local level of Republicans being abject criminals and moral monsters and simply shrugging and staying in office.
So, the revelations about 'George Santos' keep getting worse; from stealing from a Veteran's charity for care for a dying cancer dog to lying that his mother died because of 9/11 when she wasn't even in the United States on that day. I suspect the his Drag Queen past will actually be his undoing because that is so Republican, too be offended by inoffensive gender bending, and ignore his crimes and lies.
But, as Donald Trump proved when he repeated his shameless lies about being at Ground Zero and helping people and first responders on 9/11, lying about that Most Holy of Republican Days illustrated conservatives don't give a shit about what they supposedly believe, everything a conservative claims as a fundamental belief of their ideology is really just a rhetorical cudgel to bash the left and attack Democrats.
This is on display currently with the Anti-Woke Rhetoric and is the core component of the Republican stance on resignations. You should resign, they never will.
Anytime a Republican appeals to jesus, ethics, morality, or law&order you can guarantee that Republican is a immoral, unethical, false christian, criminal. Republicans are everything they accuse The Left and Democrats of being. So, get used to seeing 'George Santos' vote Yay on the most Hard-Right, Anti-American Reactionary bills from this Republican House it's just he won't be invited onto rightwing propaganda shows to explain how, as a Jew-ish descendant of the Holocaust, whose parents fled Communism, and he's gay, and a star Volleyball athlete, successful immigrant who never bashed America and followed the rules for immigration, he just hates Gays and Immigrants and Jews and he can say this because; He is the Perfect Republican.
