Newly elected House GOP member George Santos says Hunter Biden probe shouldn’t be a ‘priority’
NY Post ^ | November 14, 2022 | Victor Nava

Rep.-elect George Santos (R-NY) argued on Monday that lawmakers should avoid focusing on “hyperpartisan” investigations, including a potential probe into Hunter Biden’s business dealings, for at least the first six months of the new Congress.

Santos told Fox News’s Sandra Smith on Monday that he wants no part of divisive investigations into the president’s son, the origins of COVID-19, Big Tech censorship, the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago, the Justice Department’s memo on outspoken parents at school board meetings, or the crisis at the southern border.

Instead, Santos said that he wants to focus on issues such as energy independence and crime.

“If parts of our party want to go into these investigations, that’s their prerogative,” Santos said. “I don’t want to waste my time in Washington engaging in hyperpartisan issues. I want to come here to deliver results.”

“We can be part of investigations so long as it doesn’t clutter and sway us from the goal, which is making Americans’ lives better or not worse,” Santos added.

This guy may or may not be as bad as this implies.

He was at the ellipse when Trump gave his speech on January 6th.
He said Trump was full of awesomeness that day. Yes he’s a
homosexual.

He wanted an investigation into the 2020 election.

He thought 01/06 was a dark day for America.

He seems to support Trump and his MAGA efforts.

I don’t think he’s a full on RINO.

This justifies the need for full Constitutional reset. Civilians are not fit to govern and need to be retrained.

If they are serious, there are more ripe fruit hanging low on the tree than persimmons in Fall.

Right - because 220 Republicans cannot possibly tackle more than one issue at a time.

I am also afraid to hear what this guy means when he talks about bipartisan Energy Independence.

Well, this is what you get with NY Republicans. When I was in High School, our congressman was Sherwood Boehlert, R-NY. I read the Capitol Hill news in the local paper, and noted that Boehlert voted with the Dems far more often than not. Yet I visited him in his Capitol Hill office once, and saw GOP stuff everywhere. It was weird, but that’s NY Republicans.

Any Republic should prioritize the law over all else. Especially corruption. Can’t believe people here at FR are blowing off corruption at high levels. The Roman republic used to execute judges for corruption, now we blow it off to not get distracted about inflation, unreal.

Psst....this is what the GOP likes. Keep doing leftist things but once in a while make some noise about leftist things.

“pussies like you...”

And people like you, who operate on pure emotion are why the GOP can’t win against the likes of Fetterman.

“Biden must be removed from office & the way to do that is thru Hunter.”

Biden can’t be removed at all since we don’t have a large enough majority in the Senate. I think our reps need to stop focusing on fantasies and focus on things we can actually accomplish.

Heh heh. We thought we won the house.

As usual, they gave us just enough to not question the elections too hard.

I bet the direction doesn’t change one little bit. I bet it doesn’t even slow down, but I guess we’ll see.
