Growing number of lawmakers say they’ll vote to expel Santos after Ethics report

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.

They'd be voting to expel him not because he's corrupt, but because he's embarrassing. Weirdly, they don't seem to be embarrassed by Trump.

Trump might wear a lot of make up, but he’s no Drag Queen

Nah, he just motor boats Giuliani as Giuliani is in drag.

They absolutely were, until they realized it was a losing proposition. Many probably still are, privately, but they know now that it's political suicide to express it.
