Rep. George Santos has easily survived a vote to expel him from the House as most Republicans opted to withhold punishment as both his criminal trial and a House Ethics Committee investigation proceed.
The House republicans couldn’t even do one good thing lol
Or, and hear me out here, they heard that the investigative committee was set to release their findings in 2 weeks, and wanted that process to work itself out first.
I’ll buy this until those findings are released. If he’s not out after that, I’m going with “We have 30 Democrats who are as morally bankrupt as the Republicans in Congress.”
I’m thinking that’s why. He should be run out on a rail, but the other expulsions in our history came after convictions (Three were civil war shenanigans, two for crimes).
All I know is the DoJ doesn’t just willy-nilly charge sitting congress critters. They come with a howitzer of evidence.
Remember, Republicans are all bad people.

They are probably dirty AF too and probably need to go.

Lol I can’t wait to see this investigative committees findings… and the non-response from Republicans.

Seems like there’s already ample verified evidence known to the public. More than enough to vote him out.
I can only guess that they prefer a disruptive republican over whoever the GOP pick to replace him until the next election.

Politics draws bad people. The worst of the bad usually end up with Republicans for one reason or another, but it’s not always the case.
Blue dogs, AKA, Republicans stealing a blue seat.
