Lying piece of shit and very credibly accused felon Long Island Congressman George Santos on Thursday added himself as a co-sponsor to a resolution censuring fellow Empire State Representative Jamaal Bowman for stupidly pulling a fire alarm in a House office building to stall a vote on the spending package a few weekends ago, CBS News’s Scott MacFarlane reports.
“The House of Representatives censures Jamaal Bowman, Representative of the 16th Congressional District of New York, for violating District of Columbia Criminal Code Section 22-1319 by knowingly causing a false alarm of fire in an attempt to obstruct official proceedings of the House… Bowman will forthwith present himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure,” reads the resolution as introduced by Michigan Republican Congresswoman Lisa McClain and passed on to right wing website the Daily Caller. Their article on it was printed late Wednesday, likely before Santos signed on as a co-sponsor, but they still mention him, saying the “misdemeanor count against Bowman makes him the second representative from New York during the 118th Congress to face criminal charges, after Republican Rep George Santos of New York’s 3rd District.”
That’s certainly one way to work a dude who meant well despite acting like a dumbass and will plead guilty to it this morning into the same sentence as another guy facing at least several decades in federal prison for a litany of felonies and defrauded the NRCC, stole people’s credit card numbers, robbed a homeless veteran whose dog was dying of cancer, so on and so forth. That’s some good wordsmithing there by the Daily Caller, however it’s not clear why they needed to bring Santos into this at all since, again, we’re pretty sure he wasn’t on board yet when they wrote it.
