A growing number of lawmakers are publicly saying they will vote to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), following the release of a scathing House Ethics Committee report.

Santos has survived two expulsion attempts, with some lawmakers who voted against ousting him earlier this month saying they were awaiting the panel’s determination.

Now, several of them say the New York Republican has had due process and they’ll vote differently next time around.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told The Hill in a text message that he would vote to expel Santos.

“The report’s findings are extremely damning and I would vote to expel,” he wrote in a text message.

    This timeline is the worst.

    It’s hard to believe that raising a voice the wrong way or using curse words could put a politician in hot water on the less fucked up timeline.

      That’s probably still true if you’re a Democrat. Remember the fit they threw because Fetterman wore a hoodie?

          I mean, Aunt Jemima® had it coming for a lonnng while. Even back in the 80s, I knew in my much smaller bones that something was off about that syrup brand and that poor lady wasn’t actually having a good time.
