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.
He accurately represents conservatives. They truly do not see a problem with him.
Conservatives will not turn on him unless they are somehow forced to. And even then, they would find a way to frame themselves as victims.
I believe he was"saved" by a few people from both sides, the Dems wanted to keep him around until he was fully outed as the crook he is, as egg on the conservatives face. It’s not like expelling him would reshape Congress at it is, but having him fully accountable, rather than letting him slink into the shadows, might change the outlook of some voters.
