A Republican-led effort to oust Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) from Congress failed Wednesday, allowing the embattled GOP lawmaker to remain in the House despite mounting legal and political troubles.
The chamber voted 179-213-19 on a resolution to oust Santos from office, far short of the two-thirds threshold needed to expel a member of Congress. Twenty-four Republicans voted to expel Santos while 31 Democrats voted to keep him in place. Nineteen lawmakers voted present, 15 of them Democrats.
No. We never could have. People like yourself are much too easy to stir up disingenuously. And the media will always criticize Democrats for not going above and beyond to stop Republicans. But never focus enough on just how bad Republicans are
Oh fuck off.
