Democrats Force Historic Vote to Expel George Santos, Set Up Thursday Showdown

Bradley Jaye 28 Nov 2023

The House must vote by Thursday to expel Rep. George Santos (R-NY) after Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) filed a privileged resolution Tuesday to boot the embattled Republican.

Garcia’s resolution is privileged, giving the House two legislative days to vote on the consequential resolution.

The historic expulsion vote comes weeks after a brutal report from the House Ethics Committee on its investigations into Santos but before the colorful New Yorker has had the opportunity to address his charges in court.

“It’s time for truth and justice to be restored to the U.S. House of Representatives,” said Garcia. “I’ve joined forces with Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) to force another expulsion vote against George Santos.”

Goldman is best known for serving as the lead Democrat attorney in the first quest to impeach Trump, an impeachment widely believed by Republicans to be politically motivated.

In a Twitter/X Space over the Thanksgiving break, Santos acknowledged his almost certain expulsion. Days earlier, Rep. Michael Guest (R-MS), chairman of the ethics committee, introduced a resolution to expel Santos.

“The evidence uncovered in the Ethics Committee’s Investigative Subcommittee investigation is more than sufficient to warrant punishment, and the most appropriate punishment is expulsion,” Guest said.

Guest’s resolution was not privileged. Santos had chastised Guest to force a vote on the resolution, calling for him to “be a man and stop being a p****.”

Odd how democrats purge government of Republicans of infractions of the law, even if they have to invent/imagine them.  Yet some of the most corrupt and criminal politicians are allowed to walk away from criminal behaviors, even caught in the act, if they are Democrats.  They walk away scott free!  Impeach Trump many times, even on invented evidence, and Biden walks away with far more criminal enterprises, busy selling out America while bankrupting our Treasury and no impeachments at all!.
How they laugh at us while supporting our worst enemies around the world, especially world terrorism.

1.) The GOP has the majority in the House
2.) It takes 2/3 vote to expell a Congressman

They can "force a vote", but that doesn't mean it has to pass.

... another day, another vote to expel George Santos, another Presidential impeachment ... how's that budget coming along, dingleberries?

Isn't it wonderful how the house is focused, laser like, on the real issues that affect everyday Americans.  God bless those 535 seats, Lunch Box Joe and the VP,

If they were more religious, they might be debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin...
