There may be clowns in Congress, but George Santos is every day building the case that he’s the whole circus.
A growing number of Republicans are calling for the New York representative to resign, as his pile of lies (and potential crimes) continues to rise. Six Republican members of Congress have called for Santos’s resignation so far.
