Republican fabulist George Santos has been expelled from Congress in an extraordinary vote after his long history of lying was exposed and he was hit with multiple criminal charges.
The Long Island congressman, who stole donor funds to spend on OnlyFans and Botox, fled Capitol Hill as he became just the sixth House member in history to be kicked out. (Snip) Santos stormed off the House floor minutes before the vote sealing his fate concluded. He warned reporters immediately after that the House 'set a new dangerous precedent for themselves' adding, 'to hell with this place.'

I DESPISE the Republican Party. A resume fabulist gets expelled while actual traitors and Hamas-promoting fascists are allowed to remain? Do they think Kathy Hochul will appoint a Republican to replace him? Can you imagine Democrats ever sabotaging one of their own for something this innocuous?

I see it's been done before, but how is this even constitutional? Rightly or wrongly the people in his district voted to have him represent them in Congress. Seems like they should be the only ones who could remove him. I see all sorts of possible future games that could be manipulated here if this is allowed.

Okay, Dems - we gave you Santos. Now, give us Ilhan Omar so the INS can deport her slimy little arse back to Somalia. The boys in Mogadishu can't wait to cut her head off.

Santos is a total fraud. His wiki page has the list. Check fraud in Brazil. Falsely claimed his grandparents escaped Nazi Germany. They're from Brazil. LGBT promoter. Same vein as Jesse smolett. Still, Menendez, the Bidens, The Clintons are far off worse criminals, guilty of treason.

Some if not most of the spineless hypocritical republicans voting with the democrats are the same cowards that couldn't muster the courage to impeach the treasonous Mayorkas a few days ago. So sick of these disgusting people.

The stupidity of Republicans is boundless. Santos may be a fantasist but he has voted the right way. With such a narrow majority it is insane to purposely reduce it by one.
I don’t think the governor of New York gets to select his replacement. There will be a special election, the result of which may see Santos replaced by a Democrat. Good work, virtue signaling Republicans.

Santos should have said he will quit when Menendez gives the gold bars back to Egypt...Menendez is still in the senate ?????? Wimpy Republicans proved they are content with one sided justice!

God bless those Pubbies!
They have no fear when it comes to taking on the big jobs - - to rolling up their sleeves and sweating the big drops - - all just for us.
Werll - - they can go home now - - and have a holly, jolly Christmas. The hard work is done - - and the few remaining trivial details can wait until the fun is done.

It would be nice to take out all the roaches at once, but sometimes you have to stomp one at a time.
From what I've been seeing he was crooked even by democrat standards. Good riddance.

What about "Fire Alarm" Bowman? I think he should be added to our ever-growing list of expulsion candidates.

First of all the alleged crimes against the "fabulist" Santos have not been adjudicated in a court of law. If being a fabulist is a crime, then half of the Congress and the current president of the United States need to be expelled from their jobs.
Second, this vote by republicans is the last straw for me. I am done with these staggeringly stupid, cowardly people. On what planet other than one inhabited by feckless republicans would a majority with only 4 votes, knowingly, happily, insanely vote to reduce that majority? Do these morons think that the democrats will now not target with God knows what accusations, the remaining 3 majority republicans? Any 3. And probably some of those that voted for expel Santos.
As to my congressman Nick LaLota and the other seriously dumb NY republican congress critters, you ain't got no Lee Zeldin on the ballot to help with this special election that the NYS democrat party is going to steal. It's already in the bag fellas.
We are doomed as a country not only because of the democrats. We are doomed as a country because there is a so-called opposition party of republicans that is so dumb and feckless it is nauseating. Done with them all.

Sorry for the second post but I am just insane about this.
So we have a democrat, Eric Swalwell who slept with a Chinese spy. But then, when he learns the FBI is on to her, alerts her and she flees the country. He should be tried for treason. Noooo. Did anyone ask he be expelled? Did over 100 democrats line up to demand his expulsion? Yeah, funny I should even suggest that. Heck was there even one republican that asked for his expulsion? Was there ever an investigation? Did the Ethics Committee do a report on a congressman that committed treason?
The guy is still sitting in Congress and shooting off his mouth. Hey speaker Johnson, how about bringing about expelling this traitor? A real, honest to God traitor. Not a fabulist. Nancy Pelosi is laughing her ample butt off as I write this. She is laughing so hard she can barely catch her breath. And Hakeem is right there with her.

and .... the Republicans put their majority at risk, how much sense does that make???
- Santos was only doing what the demcommies have been doing for years and years, so now it's serious enough that he gets the boot when the demcommies will continue to do what he was doing??? and
- never suffer any consequences for their illegal politicking and
- what about the fire alarm joker who got a feather slap across his you know what which was completely meaningless
- that.... does not make any sense whatsoever
- at least Mike Johnson and Steve Scalise voted against the expulsion

It is sad that so many don’t get it, #13. This was a reliable MAGA voter. First Repub these poor NY Repubs had been able to get in there, flaws and all. Now that seat is gone. We had Boehner drunk as a frickin’ skunk behind the Speaker podium and there was never a whisper of an ethics or moral example violation. The Dems and Uniparty McCarthy allies toasting one another tonight.

I'm not surprised. What is shocking that they didn't allow the court system to rule first. This sets him up for an automatic conviction as far as I'm concerned.

If I were a Republican member of Congress, I would announce that I am voting against expulsion, not because I think Santos is innocent, but because my colleagues across the aisle never kick out their crooks.
