An associate of Republican Rep. George Santos fretted about the congressman being made into a bobblehead. The private anxiety came to light among pages of text messages released by a House committee. One of the lighter moments in the damning House Ethics Committee report on Santos concerns an associate of Santos' fretting with a congressional staffer over a bobblehead. "If there was a single ounce of ETHICS in the "Ethics committee", they would have not released this biased report," Santos wrote on Twitter. And yes, if you want to, you can still buy a Santos bobblehead from the same company that has made ones depicting Anthony Fauci and Sen. Bernie Sanders sitting at President Joe Biden's inauguration.

A former aide to Rep. George Santos says one he paid one of the lawmakers' deputies at least $1,050. The ex-aide told House investigators the payments were part of a bid to land a job with Santos. Derek Myers, who was fired by the New York Republican, shared the details with the Associated Press. Burra did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, and he declined to comment to the AP. Myers discussed the payments with House investigators probing his allegations of workplace sexual harassment after he was terminated in February, the AP reported.

The group was seen flooding the hallway outside Santos' room in the Longworth House Office Building on Tuesday. "We are not comfortable with the lies, and the deceit," said the woman, who was wearing a shirt from the nonprofit organization Courage for America. After Burra went back into Santos' office and shut the door behind him, the people gathered outside started to clamor for a response. A spokesperson for Courage for America told Insider that 45 constituents from New York traveled to DC together to try to meet Santos. On Tuesday, Courage for America tweeted that a letter with close to 1,500 signatures from Santos' constituents was delivered to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
But Santos is clearly a problem for House Republicans. But three days later, Miller — who actually represents Ohio's 7th district — became the eighth House Republican to publicly call for Santos to resign. said Republican Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina, who said that Santos "seems nice" even as he appeared unaware of the extent of his controversies. At a press conference on Thursday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries pointedly declared that Santos was "an issue that Republicans need to handle." Santos and Ocasio-Cortez briefly spoke on the sidelines of a gaggle of GOP lawmakers on the House floor on Wednesday, January 4.
