He didn't even go to a competent doctor for the Botox:
“[T]his expense was not reported to the FEC and was noted as ‘Botox’ in expense spreadsheets” turned over to investigators, it continues. The session took place at Mirza Aesthetics, a Manhattan medspa run by a doctor whose license was suspended in 2021 over breast and penile enhancements gone wrong.
Is penile botox a thing for any reason? Because somehow I picture this guy being obsessed with penis size or his inability to last longer than 3 thrusts or something.
the botox was to remove his penis wrinkles
I thought he wanted egg smooth balls tbh.
It was to go with his egg smooth brain.
Don't we all?
You didn't let me finish... would you suck THESE balls?
You'd need a lot of botox, given that he is a penis wrinkle.
penis wrinkles = prinkles
Think it was penile Botox?
I don't expect to ever find out.
Biish please, we're on the Internet. You will learn.
"A tiny needle is used to administer the Botox into the penis. The clinical impact is that the patient's erection becomes stronger, harder, and longer lasting"
Yeah, but I have no idea whether that's one of the places that George Santos got his Botox.
the giveaway is that when he smiles his cock doesn't move.
Living on the edge, man
House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest will introduce a resolution to expel George Santos from Congress tomorrow morning. So, the vote will probably be after Thanksgiving
Hate to a political hack here but I'm hoping he survives the vote.
It's going to be way easier to defeat him in 2024 than a different Republican... Plus the Republicans should have done this as soon as they found out he was a shit stain not a year before the election.
Edit nm Nyt is reporting he won't run for reelection. Get him the fuck out of Congress.
He stated today he isn't running in '24.
*Didn't see your edit =)
Now if only every congressman was subject to stringent financial oversight
You know, the kind that treats "not having a bank account" as a red flag
These motherfuckers run our country.
I mean, yes and no
Well, right, they're in power and everything but I'm not sure they're actually capable of running the country. All evidence points to the contrary.
Now I’m curious what OF account he felt was worth spending campaign funding for.
I don't get the outrage. I'm sure his campaign headquarters was just a little warm and he needed something to create a breeze and cool things off.
A place that only sells fans is where I'd shop as well. Nobody knows fans like a place that is for Only Fans, right?
Trump look-alikes
The public needs to know! For reasons!
Yes, I want to know and also as a member of the taxpaying public, I'd like access to the subscription.
That's what he looks like after cosmetic surgery?
This guy is just recklessly impulsive.
This guy is fuckin hilarious.
What a joke.
B-b-but Hunter Biden's penis!
What else would he have purchased on OnlyFans?
Just like us Fr fr 😭😭

And the department of justice goes "....."
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The House Ethics Committee has found “substantial evidence of potential violations of federal criminal law” by indicted New York Congressman George Santos, and are referring the matter to the Justice Department.
The committee, comprised of six House members equally divided between the two parties, unanimously concluded that Santos “knowingly caused his campaign committee to file false or incomplete reports with the Federal Election Commission; used campaign funds for personal purposes; engaged in fraudulent conduct in connection with RedStone Strategies LLC; and engaged in knowing and willful violations of the Ethics in Government Act as it relates to his Financial Disclosure (FD) Statements filed with the House.”
The ISC report found that in multiple instances, Santos moved funds donated to his campaign to his personal checking accounts, and used the money at luxury store Hermès, OnlyFans, Sephora, as well as for meals, parking, and to pay off his credit card bills.
His FEC reports included payments for Botox, a luxury vacation in the Hamptons, taxis and hotel stays during his Las Vegas honeymoon, and spa treatments.
In October, a superseding indictment added charges related to an identity theft and money-laundering scheme involving his campaign.
The ball is now in their court, but with a slim majority and a history of protecting their own, the House GOP may choose simply to wait out his term.
