On CNN earlier today, Rep. Bryon Donalds (R-FL) claimed it wasn't his job to ask for embattled Rep. George Santos to resign from Congress over his many lies, but previously had no issue with that when he demanded President Biden to resign.

Hypocrisy, Republicans know thy name.

"Specifically to George and his situation, that's something that's really not my place to get involved in because that's between him and his voters," Donalds said.

CNN host Victor Blackwell came back to it.

"You have not joined some of your Republican colleagues, and most Democrats, who are calling for George Santos to resign. Do you think he can serve effectively effectively?" Blackwell asked.

"About the growing list, no, I have not joined that," Donalds replied. "I don't think that's the job of another member of Congress to say or call for. I think that's something between him and his voters."

Blackwell pounded that nonsense.

"I will say you called for President Biden to resign and 84 million people voted for him," Blackwell said. "Congressman Donalds, thank you so much."

Since the calamitous vote for the Speaker of the House that took almost a week for the Republican party to complete, Rep. Donals is getting a lot of airtime

But like every other Republican before him, only Democrats are allowed to be criticized. Republicans can demand resignations or impeachments at will from them..
