Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.) on Monday suggested there are enough votes to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) from the House amid the controversy that surrounds Santos in his mounting legal battles.

Asked on NewsNation’s “The Hill” if a measure to expel Santos would pass, D’Esposito said, “I think there is an opportunity for it to pass, because I think we have an opportunity to set a new precedent.”

If we could set a new precedent — especially from individuals in the House who have tried to fight the status quo — that the House does not welcome liars, fraudsters and people who have made a mockery of the institution.

Okay, so get Santos out, then do Bobo, Marge, Gaetz, and Gym Jordan.

Don't forget that piece of shit Tuberville. Way to fuck over our armed forces with two active conflicts going on in the world. Despicable.

Big agree, but that particular snake's in the Senate rather than the House.

Correct. We can look at this as a possible snowball in healing our nation.
