For the same reason he went after Trump instead of Pelosi. He believes he is another “profile in courage” like Liz…aka virtue signaling.
Actually he is a weak sellout seeking the approval of the WashPo and NYTs.
Not to say Santos might not have to go if it is proven he committed a felony.
The Biden plagiarism issue gets bandied about yet he paid the price for it. He had to withdraw from being a presidential contender. I dont recall Trump bringing up plagiarism during the lastcelection he just wanted to go on and on about Biden cowering in his basement.
So on one hand we have posters saying that the Republicans week long farce of electing McCarthy to speaker is a sign of how Republicans engage in independent thought and actions which is to be celebrated but now when Romney shows individual thought and actions that is a sign of Romney not being a true Republican.
Next the narrative will be Santos is being unfairly singled out and a lan should be judged just on what he does today. Which means if he lies today, tomorrow is a new day so the previous lie is forgiven.
My bet is that campaign finance irregularities will take Santos down. Until that happens, there will be no floor to the rationalization, minimization, and dismissals.
A four vote margin, with a quarter of his caucus interested only in burning it all
down puts McCarthy over a barrel. He/they need Santos.
Completely agree and as I have said I totally get why McCarthy is waiting for that. If the situation was flipped the Dem speaker of the house would wait as well.
Seems as a leftist you have no understanding of not supporting someone just because they have an R after their name. Most leftist can’t think for themselves they just support whoever they are told to support.
