Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.) said in a post on the social media site X that he will introduce a resolution on Wednesday “to rid the People’s House of fraudster, George Santos.”

    The only reason they are doing this is because Santos stole money directly from the #GOP via defrauding their donation matching.

    Do not be fooled in to thinking the #GOP has any kind of morals or ethics.

    EDIT: @ripcord is a bootlicker that also doesn’t have any real morals or ethics.

    If some of the D’s want to get rid of Menendez, and some of the R’s want to get rid of Santos, can’t we just do like a prisoner exchange type of thing? One vote, both heads on the chopping block, one from each side leaves the overall total basically the same. The R’s can claim they only voted to kick out Menendez, and the D’s can claim they only voted to kick out Santos, we get rid of the two most blatant fraudsters, and everyone’s constituency is still mostly ok with it as long as the other side lost a guy too.

    Every crime is legal in the republican party, except stealing from the politicians stealing from Republicans.

    I thought Anthony D’Esposito was one of his many names for a second, so I was wondering if this was like a battle between multiple personalities or something.

    (Anthony Devolder is the name I was thinking of.)

    They need to let their donators know that they view stealing from a donator as completely unacceptable

    The only two House members expelled in the past 150+ years were both only removed after they were convicted of crimes (James Traficant and Michael Myers).

    There is a pretty long tradition in Congress that members are not expelled after indictment, only after conviction.

    Of course a strong leader pressures their members into resigning when faced with such overwhelming evidence of wrongdoing (Pelosi twisted Anthony Weiner’s arm so damn hard he probably couldn’t play with himself for months). But Qevin couldn’t do that, and neither will Scalise.

    If Santos had half a brain he’d be instructing his lawyers to negotiate the best possible plea deal… not grandstanding in Trumpian defiance. But I doubt that the House will vote to oust him prior to a conviction.
