Is this real? That would be hilarious as such a random lie.

I love how Republicans have elected the conservative meme version of Brian Williams.

Bizarre statement to make.

145 would be 1/3 of the current congress (so, he'd have less than a 2/3rds mandate to stay). 148 would be 2/3rds of the GOP caucus (i.e., "I want a supermajority of my own party to want me out before I'll resign). But both are higher than 142, and he doesn't specify 142 Republicans so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

From Reuters:

U.S. Representative George Santos, who lied about much of his resume and life story, will be removed from Congress if found to have broken campaign finance laws, fellow Republican and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said on Sunday.

"He's a bad guy," Comer said on CNN's "State of the Union" program. "It's not up to me or any other member of Congress to determine whether he can be kicked out for lying. Now, if he broke campaign finance laws, then he will be removed from Congress."

I'm not familiar with James Comer, so I'm just picturing James Comey with a fake mustache.
