Lieu (D-CA-33) 12/28/2022: Tweet – “These statements from @Santos4Congress in this CNN article show that George Santos continues to lie about who he is. @GOPLeader should publicly call for George Santos to resign.

Link to image   Link to quoted tweetAs a child of a Holocaust survivor & refugee, I find George Santos' false claims that he is the grandson of Holocaust survivors to be so wrong.

Long (R-MO-7) 12/29/2022: Retweet of @KimDotcom – “This video on the origin of Covid-19 used to be censored by Twitter. The US Govt is responsible for the creation of Covid-19.

Long (R-MO-7) 12/29/2022: Retweet of @SenateForeign – “It's been over a year since Biden haphazardly withdrew from #Afghanistan & it's clear it has once again become a safe haven for terrorists.

Mast (R-FL-18) 12/28/2022: Tweet – “The Taliban has announced that women won't be allowed to attend college. This is the same Taliban that promised to protect women's rights and the same Taliban that the White House said the U.S. could “work with.” We wouldn't be here if Biden hadn't botched the withdrawal.”

Reschenthaler (R-PA-14) 12/29/2022: Twitter thread – “Just like Biden's law school days, he's trying to pull the wool over Americans' eyes regarding his past performance. One look at his presidential transcripts and you'll see his time in the White House has been an abject failure. 🧵 On Day 1, Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline. Over 700 days later, winter heating costs are surging to the highest level in 25 years. Biden's solution? “No more drilling.” Link to image Inflation remains at a 40-year high. Families are making tough choices on how to spend their dollars. Who does the Biden Administration blame for this mess? Americans for “splurging.” Link to image Nearly 5 million illegal immigrants – including 100 terrorists – tried to cross our border under Biden. Cartels are trafficking illicit fentanyl into our communities. Has Biden cared enough to go to the border? No. Link to image On national security, Biden's standing as commander-in-chief has dwindled on the World Stage with the bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and China's rise to power.
