Embattled Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., was expelled from Congress Friday after a scathing House Ethics Committee report found substantial evidence Santos misused campaign funds for his own personal benefit and committed federal crimes.
The House voted to boot Santos from the lower chamber by a bipartisan vote of 311-114. An expulsion vote requires a heavy lift in the House, a two-thirds vote to pass.
Despite the early momentum for his expulsion, Santos’ removal was put into question the morning of the vote as lawmakers demurred over whether they were certain the support was there to oust Santos. All of top House GOP leadership as well, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced they would vote against his expulsion.

It was about time the Republicans tootout they're trash, there is still plenty more in Congress that should be removed
Maxine Waters is absolutely right! Republicans are more concerned about the rich than small business owners. They received PPP loans and had them forgiven. Then, Republicans don't want to tax the rich and they've received illegal monies from Russian oligarchs. Fact checked ✔ ✅ ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ✔ vote 🗳 Blue for sanity 🗳 💙
Poor thing

And Trump, stupid as he is, probably can't wait to pardon George Santos.
