New York House Republicans Stand With Serial Liar George Santos, Vote to Protect Indicted Criminal
NEW YORK, NY – Today, New York House Republicans voted to protect serial liar George Santos from expulsion – despite calling on him to resign.
“Today, New York House Republicans voted to protect George Santos’s seat in the U.S. House of Representatives,” said Jay S. Jacobs, Chair of the New York State Democratic Party. “Many of these Republicans have gone so far as to publicly call on Santos to resign or even be expelled from the halls of Congress. But, when push came to shove, these MAGA extremists fell in line with GOP party leadership, sided with an indicted criminal, and broke their promises to the Long Islanders who deserve representation. Shame on them. They are simply a collection of frauds.”
REMINDER: A motion to refer expulsion to the Ethics Committee only serves to protect Santos for the remainder of his term.
FYA: Vulnerable New York House Republicans have repeatedly called on Santos to resign – or be expelled – from Congress. Here are the receipts:
Rep. Nick LaLota (NY-01), February 27, 2023
Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (NY-04), February 25, 2023
Rep. Mike Lawler (NY-17), February 4th, 2023
Rep. Marc Molinaro (NY-19), March 2, 2023
Rep. Brandon Williams (NY-22), February 28th, 2023
