The privileged vote to expel George Santos ended in an expulsion by an overwhelming majority of Republicans and Democrats.
Here’s the vote via Jake Sherman:

I don’t know how the readers feel. To me, it was stupid. It sets a dangerous precedent. Santos was not convicted of anything. He did not have due process, which Democrats hate anyway, and was convicted based on a report by Democrats and RINOs.
Why do this and then give Democrats another opportunity to vote for a Democrat? Republicans have such a small margin as it is. If only they’d be as enthusiastic about impeaching some of the criminals in the administration or closing our borders.
House will be back to 434 members – 221 Rs & 213 Ds

Miranda Devine makes a good point here:
I don’t approve of Santos but, honestly, if you are going to expel members of Congress for lies and dishonesty, Democrats should lead the pack. Menendez, Schiff, Pelosi, to name a few. Not to mention the Liar-In-Chief. With such a slim majority in the House, 100 Republicans have… https://t.co/PfIQ0VMfKV

Guess who didn’t get expelled:
– Eric Swalwell who slept with a Chinese spy,
– Adam Schiff who lied about Russia collusion,

This leaves the door open for a Democrat to replace him. Something very suspicious about this move.
Geez! What about the “real” DC Dictator crooks that want to enslave us?
I don’t care about power. I think they shouldn’t have because it is unethical and unjust. We live in a moronic time. Are these guys serious?
‘Bout time!
Let’s see a list of the names that have taken away the will of the voters in Santos’ district. Seems to me that lawyers in Santos’ district have a case for taxation without representation…
Arbitrary application of justice. He lied about the politically incorrect stuff and nobody checked. He exposed their weakness. Most Party’s would have used this to attack and embarrass the media. The Republicans couldn’t because they agreed with it. They couldn’t attack the agreed upon premises of this idiotic culture. That includes most of the Right Wing culture.
