Within hours of Rep. George Santos facing a new round of criminal charges, two of his fellow New York Republicans — Reps. Anthony D’esposito and Nick LaLota — told CNN that if the scandal-plagued congressman doesn’t resign, the House should consider his expulsion. Evidently, they were quite serious. NBC News reported: It’s worth noting for context that there are 11 Republicans in New York’s congressional delegation.
Jim Traficant of Ohio was expelled after he was convicted on multiple corruption charges. Santos might soon join this small club, though leading GOP officials, already struggling with a tiny House majority, will likely be reluctant to even bring this resolution to the floor.
