A growing number of lawmakers are publicly saying they will vote to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), following the release of a scathing House Ethics Committee report.
Santos has survived two expulsion attempts, with some lawmakers who voted against ousting him earlier this month saying they were awaiting the panel’s determination.
Now, several of them say the New York Republican has had due process and they’ll vote differently next time around.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told The Hill in a text message that he would vote to expel Santos.
“The report’s findings are extremely damning and I would vote to expel,” he wrote in a text message.
I think they made the right call as the report was still in the works. Now that it’s out I’ll be pitchforking anyone not voting Santos out.
I want to hear from Schumer because he seemd to be the guy speaking out for his and the other stay votes, and his quote on the matter was that it was an easy decision since there was no conviction. So unless his perspective has changed the ethics report may not be enough, since there’s still no conviction it’s follows it’s still an easy decision for him.
The “is the Pacific Ocean rather large?” report is coming out any day now… 🙄
