Rep. George Santos, or, now-former Rep. George Santos, has denied allegations that he moonlighted as a drag queen named “Kitara Ravache.” But maybe he would have been smart to embrace it — no Democrat could have voted to expel a drag queen from the lower chamber!
On Friday, House Democrats voted nearly unanimously along with 105 Republicans to expel the freshman representative from New York. It’s worth noting that Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib, meanwhile, received a mere censure over her antisemitic activism and solidarity with Hamas terrorists.
Santos became the third member removed from the House since the Civil War. Rep. James Traficant of Ohio was removed by the lower chamber in 2002 after a conviction of 10 felonies and Rep. Michael Myers was kicked out in 1980 following a bribery conviction. The New York lawmaker was ostensibly removed over a potential scandal involving fraudulent campaign activity that was detailed in a report from the House Ethics Committee last month. Investigators found substantial evidence that Santos committed federal crimes, and the freshman lawmaker was handed a 23-count indictment in October. To date, however, Santos has yet to be convicted of a single crime after voters elected the Republican to replace his Democrat predecessor.
Tlaib, on the other hand, openly called for the destruction of Israel and spread lies about an explosion near a Palestinian hospital, blaming the Israeli military. The rocket that terrorist officials claimed killed hundreds of civilians at the hospital was actually a Palestinian device that misfired and landed in a nearby parking lot, killing dozens, not hundreds.

Would be screaming Islamophobia like a rooster in the morning.
To all the Rep. Reps who voted to remove Santos.
You are STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!
First he has not been convicted of anything
2nd if we lose three more reps, welcome Speaker Jefferies.
F***ing half wits. Do you think the Dems would have removed one of their own for this, hell they won’t even get rid of Menendez and he is guilty as sin.
The Bible Thumper Speaker Allowed this Vote .
This Fool has go to GO ..
A complete Moron .
The hamas demonrat party was gifted a seat thanks
Dope .
We have a three seat majority .
The stupid party is real .
Trying to expel Rashida Tlaib is pointless. Besides the fact that dems would never vote to expel her in the first place, she would easily win re-election in her district. Adam Clayton Powell was expelled and his Harlem constituents had no problem voting him back into Congress. When Congress made noises about not seating him, SCOTUS ruled that he had to be seated.
Republicans can be expelled, democrats, especially dems ‘of color’ cannot.
Congress is in a continuous process of emasculating itself.
Americans are upset, anxious and unsure because we are well into a transition from a Constitutional Republic to empire/centralized administrative state and most don’t realize it.
Totally agree. Republicans are sickening cowards.
Agree they abuse the use of stupidity.
“Priorities.” (sarcasm)
No tears for Santos (or the rest of the crooks), but was this their big accomplishment today?
The Bible Thumper Speaker Allowed this Vote .
Because he was REQUIRED to!
BS no they are not .
McCarthy killed this vote .
This Clown is a Dope .
To be fair, didn’t he also plead guilty to charges in Brazil?
If kevin the cuck leaves as he threatening to do it’s down to two. The breathtaking stupidity of this is hard to overstate.
The plan is for the Dems to flip the House .
The Bible Thumper is in on the Uniparty Plan .
He was bought by the lobbyists to let the House be flipped .
NO ONE is this DUMB .
Once again the GOP shows its true colors and where thier bread is buttered, see ya
You have been a POS troll for years. Your opinion is worthless. ESAD.
GOP can’t lead d—k!
