Representative George Santos became the sixth congressman in U.S. history to be expelled from the House of Representatives after many of his GOP colleagues joined a united Democratic caucus on Friday in booting him from the lower chamber. The final whip count was 311 in favor and 114 against, with two members voting “present.”
The indicted congressman’s ouster from the lower chamber will usher in an ultra-competitive special election in his Long Island and Queens district that the Cook Political Report has already rated a “tossup.” Once Democratic governor Kathy Hochul sets a date for a special election — likely early next year — local party officials

Biden is a proven pathologic and chronic liar. He had to drop out of presidential race in the 80s because of all his lies. Blumenthal lied about his service in Vietnam. He was never there. Menendez is under indictment. No one is talking about expelling them. Jerks.

He should have switched parties- the democrats never kick out any of their crooks.
Dems are the party of crooks, GOP the party of the stupid.

Now that we’ve shown you how it’s, the Dems need to deal with Richard Blumenthall. The original “Mr. Stolen Valor”.

In the lying phony department, Santos couldn't hold a candle to Adam Schiff, Jeremy Raskin. et. al. or, as we all now know, Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger.

Never would have been expelled if he had a "D" behind his name.

The GOP is disgusting. Nearly all of our 'Republican' officials are simply Democrats, plain and simple.

As long as we're listing candidates for the next round, let's add Ilhan Omar and AOC.

The Republican establishment PREFERS to be the minority party. They work in league with the Democrats to expand government power.

At least 1/3 of the GOP members of Congress do not represent Republican base voters.

This is what happens when you don't do a background check to screen a candidate before putting them on the ballot. This is how you get a nut job or con man on the ticket that is a major embarrassment to the party.

Exactly why I'm no longer a republican. Most republicans are actually democrats.

Santos gets the boot but Fire Marshall Bowman, House Insurrection Instigator Trashida Tlaib, Presidential Paraphraser Adumb Schiff Head and "Some People Did Something" Ilhan Omar are still stinking up the joint. Like a bad case of mold. Also don't forget the grandmama of them all Mad Maxine Waters aka Aunt Ester from Sanford & Son. All of those corrupt losers should've been shown the door a long time ago. Republicans show us once again that they are the party of stupid.

This all came about because rinos had a temper tantrum over Mike Johnson releasing the J6 video, and to hamstring him in the future. Everyone does realize the rats will steal this seat, right?

Johnson proving to be a wimp. Today they do this and then go home. This was their big achievement.
I don’t always like Charlie Kirk’s take on things but he blew a gasket over this. He laid out what a solid vote for MAGA Santos has always been. His voter approval with his constituents better than most. Is he a clown? Yup. So are a lot of House members. McCarthy is busy raising money and is working hard to see every MAGA running for office is defeated. He and the democrats are laughing themselves silly over this move today. They just reduced their own power.

Republicans are retarded.
They don't need the democrat party to ruin them they are perfectly capable of ruining themselves.

This probably won't make much of a difference because the way the Republicans are going in the House, they'll be in the minority at the next election.
