Seriously, George Santos claims he never said he was Jewish but rather that that he "was Jew-ish."

This is ludicrous and offensive -- and also the lamest attempt to get out of a lie that I think I've seen.

He must step down.

@msignorile No... he must be THROWN OUT.
@QuickWeasel There is no chance the Republican House will impeach him for lying or even censure him.
@msignorile But we all know he won't.
@msignorile I'm an Episcopalian but i ate Chinese food on Christmas Eve and went to my friend's Hannukkah party... pretty sure I'm more "ish" than that guy lol.

@msignorile Do you know this whole story sounds like Joe Kent’s… who didn’t get his own company’s name right etc. he said he worked for a tech startup doing 5g.

Dems need better down race oppo research.

Luckily he lost by a hair but there’s undisclosed money too. View Quality of Disclosure

@msignorile But he won’t, will he? And the Republicans won’t do anything to kick him out either.

@msignorile Did anyone think to ask him what exactly that was supposed to mean?

Cause yeah.

I have to imagine his answer can't be good, and would lay bare some really, really bad takes.

@msignorile oh come on. You know Nancy Pelosi would swear a Dem in who did the same thing.

Nah, jk lol. No she wouldn't because Nancy Pelosi is the GOAT.

@msignorile that’s actually pretty funny. I mean…this is where republicans are. Lol.
