A group of House Republicans from New York are introducing a resolution to expel Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., from Congress.
"Today, I’ll be introducing an expulsion resolution to rid the People’s House of fraudster George Santos," Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, R-N.Y., said in a post on the social media platform X.
He said the resolution will be co-sponsored by fellow New York House Republicans Nick LaLota, Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro, Nick Langworthy and Brandon Williams.
Booting Santos would require a two-thirds vote of the entire House.
The move comes a day after federal prosecutors issued Santos a 23-count superseding indictment alleging he committed identity theft, fraud and other offenses. Santos has said he plans on fighting the charges and pleaded not guilty to the charges in the original 13-count indictment earlier this year.
Imagine being such a piece of shit that even the Republicans don't want to associate with you.
It's because he fucked with their money…
He made up like 500k in donations so that the Republican party would "match" and they gave him 250k.
So now the other Republicans who could have gotten that money are pissed
Also, they’re idiots for just taking his word for it.
The schadenfreude … by the gods it's delightful.
Muh bribery is unsecure!1
Should've used the blockchain or something!!11!one!!1
Winner winner chicken dinner. They don’t give a fuck about all the bigots and rapists in office, it’s sticking your hand in the cookie jar that’s the real sin.
It took a 23-count indictment to make it happen, however.
FTFY
Don't think there's a word for the appointment of a dictator.
A "Coup" i guess.

It wasn't so much the 23 counts as it was the fact that he basically stole money from the Republican party. Theft of (Republican) money is
!
I don't really get it. Santos is the most Republican to have every Republicaned. He's a lying, grifting, fraudster who knows practically nothing about anything and only got where he was by lying his way in and betraying the trust of everyone who backed him. He's so unhinged he doesn't even know where his lies stopped.
He's like the American conservative mascot. I'm surprised they don't name him Speaker.
You don’t steal from the rich
It's the oldest rule from the oldest thieves' guilds from before there were cities: It's OK to take a little from Jimmy's cut, maybe OK to take a little off what you were gonna give to your mother, but you never. NEVER. take anything from the capo. The boss.
It’s all a stunt. These republicans are just saving their own skin, fully knowing that vast majority of their own party won’t expel this asshat.
He's not popular and doesn't bring in any money.
