     3/ 🤣CNN: Santos after voted to expel: “it’s over."

     “The House spoke that’s their vote. They just set new dangerous precedent for themselves,” he added.

     Would still stay and use nonmember privileges bc not convicted? “Why would I want to stay here? To hell with this place.”
     Pressed if he knew this was how it was going to go, Santos said, "I had no skin in the game."

     And then he said, "You know what? As unofficially no longer a member of Congress, I no longer have to answer your questions."

     5/ Noteworthy:

     Via PatriotTakes:

     George Santos was just kicked out of Congress. He has 68 fewer charges than Trump.

     2/ Via Angry Staffer:

     This makes GOP leadership look even worse.

     105 of their members bucked the entire leadership team to expel Santos.

     Would never happen to Pelosi or Jeffries

     I think that anyone that voted to save Santos or voted present, have a lot to be worried about.

     It could turn out that he has nothing on any of them, but if he does, we all are going to hear about it.

     They welcomed him in as one of their own and stood for him even after bad news came out about him criminally.

     I have my fingers crossed they completely compromised him so they could control him....and now he knows everything.

     @GottaLaff Gotta ask why? That seems a bit odd.

     Expelling indicted fraudsters from the House sets the terrible precedent that future fraudsters may also be expelled from the House.
