George Santos Promises To Resign 'If 142 People Ask'
Pretty sure it'd be easy to find 142 people willing to ask George Santos to resign at this point.

WASHINGTON, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Embattled U.S. Representative George Santos on Thursday told reporters he would resign from office if 142 people urge him to do so, amid controversy over his string of false claims about his work and personal background during last year's campaign for office.
"If 142 people ask for me to resign I will resign," the Republican congressman replied to reporters as he hurriedly exited a Capitol Hill office and entered an elevator.
Reporters were unable to ask him the significance of 142.
However, upon walking into his office during a separate exchange with reporters, Santos was asked whether he would resign, and he said, "I will not resign. I will be continuing to hold my office elected by the people."
Santos later clarified that he meant 142,000, as in the people who were hoodwinked into voting for this fraudster.
