House Rejects Resolution to Expel New York GOP Rep. George Santos

HeadlineNov 02, 2023

House lawmakers have rejected a resolution to expel New York Republican Congressmember George Santos over his litany of lies and alleged criminal behavior. Santos — if that is his real name — has admitted to fabricating his educational background, employment history and religion. He faces nearly two dozen federal charges, including wire fraud, money laundering and theft of public funds. This is New York Republican Congressmember Anthony D’Esposito.

Rep. Anthony D’Esposito: “We have learned about countless lies, deceptions and 23 charges against Mr. Santos. It is in the best interest of the constituents of New York 3 and all Americans that he is expelled from the House of Representatives.”

Newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson joined 181 other Republicans and 31 Democrats voting against the measure. Maryland Democrat Jamie Raskin wrote after the vote, “This would be a terrible precedent to set, expelling people who have not been convicted of a crime and without internal due process.”
