House Democrats move to expel embattled GOP Rep. Santos from Congress

House Democrats on Thursday unveiled a resolution to expel New York Republican Rep. George Santos from Congress amid revelations of his numerous false statements made while on campaign.

Democratic California Rep. Robert Garcia sponsored the measure, according to The Hill, along with New York Democratic Reps. Ritchie Torres and Daniel Goldman; Vermont Rep. Becca Balint, and Illinois Rep. Eric Sorenson.

"This is not just a simple liar. This is a con-man who does not belong in Congress, and he needs to go," Goldman said. The measure is unlikely to see a vote in the Republican-controlled House.

While seeking office in the 2022 midterms, Santos's campaign website claimed that he worked for Goldman Sachs and Citi group. Santos has since admitted he never worked for either firm directly but that he had been employed at a third firm that he says did business with the two. He also claimed to have graduated from Baruch College when he had not in fact obtained any college degree.

He has rebuffed calls to resign from office and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has not demanded that he do so. He is, however, facing a House Ethics Committee probe and is not sitting on any committees at present.

Other myriad Santos scandals include allegations that he performed in drag while in Brazil, that he falsely claimed his family fled Nazi Germany to escape the Holocaust, and an alleged 2008 incident involving a stolen checkbook.
