Some might say “Expelling George Santos set a good precedent”

I am one of those people. He is a conman and a criminal, end of story. This isn't some political gray area here.

In theory, yes. In practice, he had to be everything Republicans hated for them to vote against him. I don't believe his lies or suspicious finances were the problems.

The true things about him that got his party to vote against him were: he's gay, he's brown, he's done drag, his Wikipedia page doesn't have a birth place.
