Rep. George Santos expelled from Congress after 311-114 vote

[Mr. K]

I’m very happy about this. Unlike Democrats it shows we are able to get rid of corrupt politicians. So this proves it can be done. It just needs to be done more often. Let’s have a look at Nancy Pelosi’s finances.

[wny]

now let us all watch in disgust as a demhole ‘wins’ the special election to replace him.

[dfwgator]

Eff the GOP!

[Jane Long]

Yep.

Leave it to the traitor Pubbies to join with DEMS, to devour our own.

[dfwgator]

The right thing was to primary him out, and let the voters decide.

This has opened up a Pandoras Box.

[nomorelurker]

“Not good, never found guilty. No trial.”

My thought as well. I might vote to expel but only after the criminal charge was resolved.

[1Old Pro]

Unlike Democrats it shows we are able to get rid of corrupt politicians.

All they accomplished in the long term today was to make the Democrat Party stronger.

[Mr. K]

Just the opposite, I believe. It shows it can be done. Corrupt politicians need to go. Not just ejected from Congress but given jail time. They just need to do it more

[Political Junkie Too]

So who takes his place?

The governor has to call a special election to fill the seat.

Hochul will stall for as long as possible to keep the Republican margin at 3 seats.

[dfwgator]

Unlike Democrats we don’t cover up for bad republicans.

And where has that gotten us?

[Sacajaweau]

Gee...now I wish I had asked for a trial when my mom passed out punishments for "those little things"...

I believe he has admitted to a list of "no no's. He's a jerk.

[Jane Long]

We need names of these 100 RINOs.

[dfwgator]

All they accomplished in the long term today was to make the Democrat Party stronger.

And the country even weaker.

[jdege]

Our own?

Santos lied about everything.

[dfwgator]

Who isn’t a jerk in Congress?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Now the People’s House is all spic and span.

[Jane Long]

The governor has to call a special election to fill the seat.

Hochul will stall for as long as possible to keep the Republican margin at 3 seats.

Way to go, RINO Traitors.

We need names. THESE people SHOULD be expelled, but, at least primaried.

Yes a jerk, you don't expel jerks.

[Mr. K]

I disagree. It shows that they can eject a corrupt politician. That’s the precedent they are setting. It just needs to be applied more often to both sides of the aisle. If the GOP could not expel a person who had literally piles of cash stuffed in a mattress, then how would that make us look. (Hint: like Democrats.)

In fact I would like to know which Republicans voted against this
