Our distinguished House Speaker voted against expulsion.
they’re on the same payroll
Ripping off some Republican Congressman’s mother. 😄
More than half of the Republicans voted against expulsion.
Just before the vote was about to begin, Max Miller of Ohio, one of Santos’ Republican colleagues, sent an email to the full Republican conference, writing that he and his mother were victims of credit card fraud tied to Santos’ campaign and that he would be voting to remove Santos.
“Neither my Mother nor I approved these charges or were aware of them,” Miller wrote in the email obtained by NPR. “We have spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees in the resulting follow up.”
Can’t imagine a more appropriate way to miss the point.
“It’s not a problem until it touches me”
“I didn’t care until he reached into MY wallet.”
Given how long he was allowed to remain, I find little satisfaction in finally seeing this headline.
Hey, that’s neat, wasn’t really expecting that. It’s still an absolute joke that he lasted this long, though.
I can’t believe they would expel the only Navy SEAL to ever walk on the moon and win the World Cup twice! This is an outrage!
So now that he’s been expelled, will he be charged for fraud, like many times over?
He already had 23 charges, yes some of them are for fraud
Great! Thanks! I can keep up with all The Deplorables.
Looks like Santos will be starring in The Departed 2.
Already been charged. He’s been out on bail. There was a whole thing about having to reveal who it was that actually paid his bail.
Bye Felicia!
I remember reading Santos implied he had kompromat on some of his colleagues. I wonder if he’ll release it now.
Also, whatever happened to the baby he apparently took from a colleagues office? No, I’m not joking.

I’m sure it is with his volleyball trophies!
Someone has that, but it sure isn’t Santos if he implied that he has it.
That’s just more grift. Trying to prevent expulsion with vague threats.
Hey that’s not his fault! He thought it was complimentary…

Members of the House of Representatives voted 311 to 114 this morning to expel New York Republican George Santos from Congress.
Among other lies, the 35-year-old Santos falsely claimed to have been a volleyball star at Baruch College, to have worked for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, and that he was Jewish — stories he later amended or recanted in a December 2022 interview.
In May, Santos was indicted on 13 criminal charges including wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.
They include Clay Higgins of Louisiana, who described the report released by the Republican-led House Ethics Committee as politically biased and a character assassination.
Republicans have a razor-thin majority in the House, and Santos represents a district that Biden won by 10 points in 2020.
That said, Santos himself has said that he doesn’t like his odds of remaining in office and the vast majority of Democrats are certain to vote for his ouster.
