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:
HOUSE HAS EXPELLED SANTOS
311-114-2
105 R YES VOTES

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,
– Nancy Pelosi who did insider trading,
– Jamaal Bowman who pulled a fire alarm to obstruct Congress proceedings,
– Bob Menendez who took bribes from… pic.twitter.com/9AW2kyh0vH— I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) December 1, 2023

Gov. Hochul said she’d be “happy” to schedule a special election to fill Santos’ seat. If that wasn’t a red flag for any GOP member, especially those elected recently on Red Long Island, they’ll likely pay a price. The Dems can pick a guy with big Nassau County name recognition, like Tom Suozzi, lefties outside the state will flood the race with $. If that CD is flipped the Republicans will be down to a 2 seat majority, and good luck to those local GOP pols trying to get reelected in 2024.
George Santos had a better voting record than the NY RINOs who fiercely pushed for his expulsion. If they used that same intense vitriol they used to oust Santos and instead went after the corrupt left, I might be more supportive of Santos getting expelled. 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!
