One COULD think US House members ain’t too hot on getting rid of any of their members, least the same fait come back their way….
These efforts to kick him out of Congress can’t be palying well in in. his Long Island , New York district….
A Republican-led effort to oust Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) from Congress failed Wednesday, allowing the embattled GOP lawmaker to remain in the House despite mounting legal and political troubles.
The chamber voted 179-213-19 on a resolution to oust Santos from office, far short of the two-thirds threshold needed to expel a member of Congress. Twenty-four Republicans voted to expel Santos while 31 Democrats voted to keep him in place. Nineteen lawmakers voted present, 15 of them Democrats….
….
“I will continue to serve the 3rd Congressional District of New York until the people choose to not have me,” he told reporters as he left the Capitol.
Santos also used the opportunity to lash out at the New York Republicans who led the expulsion effort, accusing them of acting purely out of “political expediency” in a tough election cycle. And he dismissed the concerns that his remaining in Congress could be a drag on his party — and might cost them control of the House.
“I don’t care. I don’t care about them; I don’t care about politics,” he said. “I care about policy. I came here for policy. I don’t care about reelections and keeping the political hacks employed.”
Only five lawmakers have been expelled from the House in its history, three of whom were booted for being disloyal to the Union during the Civil War.
Wednesday marked the second attempt this year to remove Santos from office…..
Not for nothing, every Democrat should of voted to remove his ass, they voted against McCarthy and they got this douche bag in the speaker, now this criminal joke is doesn’t get their vote to kick him out…bad form…hypocrtical…
‘There but for the grace of God go I…..’
‘Used also to express that one cannot judge others for their flaws for we are all equally flawed; in this sense, compare also “let him who is without sin cast the first stone”.”
Wiki…
Note…
Same applies for the Bull Shit Tupperville situation….
Schumer HAS the votes to walk around the guy and has used it once and WILL have to use it AGAIN….
I add this.….
