Republican hardliners, George Santos shun White House welcome for new Congress

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Embattled Republican freshman U.S. Representative George Santos skipped his invitation to a White House reception on Tuesday evening and appears to have been joined by several hardline newcomers in snubbing President Joe Biden.

All first-time lawmakers were invited to the bipartisan reception hosted by Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, but dozens of Republicans opposed to Biden's policies were missing from the list of more than 40 registrants that was distributed by the White House for the event.

Among the missing were several who tried to block Republican Kevin McCarthy from being elected speaker earlier this month, before relenting once he offered them extensive concessions.

Those representatives were Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Eli Crane of Arizona, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, Andy Ogles of Tennessee and Keith Self of Texas. Their spokespeople did not respond to a request for comment after normal business hours.

You don't want them around Joe. They haven't been house trained.

1. And they want the WH and D's to negotiate with weasels like this.

Give them nothing! Bupkis!

[Justice matters.]

2. They don't belong anywhere near the WH or Congress.

3. The White House should have purposely excluded them from the invite in the first place.

They are common scum with no business being near congress.

It is beyond me why they keep reaching out to these fascists traitors. Give them some of their own shit back for once. Freeze them out.

4. Santos is going to go harder right than anyone else including the nutjobs like MTG

So he can suck up to them as any support he can get back he thinks will help him last to re-election and even help WITH re-election.
