GOP Rep: We May Have The Votes To Expel Santos

October 31, 2023 Homocons, Republicans

Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.) on Monday suggested there are enough votes to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) from the House amid the controversy that surrounds Santos in his mounting legal battles.

Asked on NewsNation’s “The Hill” if a measure to expel Santos would pass, D’Esposito [photo above] said, “I think there is an opportunity for it to pass, because I think we have an opportunity to set a new precedent.”

D’Esposito, alongside a group of New York Republicans, moved to force a vote on expelling Santos last week, marking the second attempt this year to eject the embattled first-term lawmaker from Congress.

Read the full article. The vote may come tomorrow. Last week Speaker Mike Johnson signaled his opposition to expelling Santos, noting that House Republicans already have a very slim majority.
