Lying con man and symbol of the Republican / Seditionist / Christofascist party Rep.-elect George Santos (or whatever his name is) stands at the rear of the House chamber as the votes for Speaker are tallied. He looks forlorn and friendless as local and Federal prosecutors look into his financial disclosure statements and his trail of numerous deceptions. In addition, Brazilian authorities have revived a 2008 fraud case against him in Rio De Janeiro. He won't get sworn in until there's a Speaker elected, and depending on what investigators find, he may not serve his entire term.
