Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.) on Monday suggested there are enough votes to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) from the House amid the controversy that surrounds Santos in his mounting legal battles.
Asked on NewsNation’s “The Hill” if a measure to expel Santos would pass, D’Esposito said, “I think there is an opportunity for it to pass, because I think we have an opportunity to set a new precedent.”
If we could set a new precedent — especially from individuals in the House who have tried to fight the status quo — that the House does not welcome liars, fraudsters and people who have made a mockery of the institution.
Okay, so get Santos out, then do Bobo, Marge, Gaetz, and Gym Jordan.
Don’t forget that piece of shit Tuberville. Way to fuck over our armed forces with two active conflicts going on in the world. Despicable.
Big agree, but that particular snake’s in the Senate rather than the House.
Correct. We can look at this as a possible snowball in healing our nation.
If the Republican Party had any sense of shame left, he would have been gone months ago. They don’t, though, so this jackass is still making headlines.
It’s at least better than the hyper silent behavior they’ve exhibited over the last 12 R-Congresspeople to have allegations
This is the best summary I could come up with:
D’Esposito, alongside a group of New York Republicans, moved to force a vote on expelling Santos last week, marking the second attempt this year to eject the embattled first-term lawmaker from Congress.
has given any reassurances to not kill the legislation, D’Esposito said he spoke with the Louisiana Republican before he presented the bill last week.
Santos admitted earlier this year to embellishing parts of his background while campaigning, but he has reiterated he will not resign despite his legal troubles.
In an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity last week, Johnson said Santos deserves “due process to play itself out.”
And so if we’re gonna expel people from Congress just because they’re charged with a crime, then — you know, or accused — that’s a problem,” Johnson told Hannity.
