The House weighs historic decision on whether to expel George Santos

Embattled Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) is set to face expulsion from the House as soon as Wednesday, possibly becoming the first congressman in more than 20 years to be removed in a motion brought forth by Republicans from his own delegation.

All RINOs must be purged.

Is he the one who pulled the fire alarm during a vote a few weeks back? That guy should definitely get fired and put in jail for such a dangerous act.

No. But he claimed that he did it.

Nope. Votes are votes to Rethugs, no matter how ill-gained.

Santos is very much hurting the re-election of NY Republicans in swing districts, so they obviously need him to be expelled. However, they will need the support of other GOP House members. Will they get any?

The resolution is now being debated. Watch it on CSPAN.

republicans still won't expel trump from being their top choice as presidential nominee for 2024, so given the degree of corruption, treason, authoritarianism, etc, etc, etc they're willing to accept about THAT, any expectancy of "decency" regarding santos has LONG ceased to be a consideration.

It's about keeping power not ethics. The Repub house margin is slim as is so I doubt they will vote to give up Santos' vote

[–] WhoToTrust (993) 8 months ago

I essentially said the same thing.

[–] Filmtenk2 (3578) 8 months ago

We were right.
