George Santos4Congress and Former RepKinzinger clash over Republican's controversies: 'Go on CNN and cry'
Kinzinger demanded Santos resign after the latter reiterated his decision to keep his seat despite being embroiled in a scandal for falsifying his past during the midterm elections. The attack prompted Santos to respond to Kinzinger and rib him for his CNN gig.
Given the threadbare Republican majority in the House, GOP leadership has been cautious about penalizing Santos, while other members have implored him to resign. A House Democrat recently filed an ethics complaint against him over the matter, likely triggering an investigation, but Santos has been resolute.
Democrats have seized on the controversy and slammed Republicans for exhibiting reluctance to rebuke Santos publicly and push him out of Congress.Kinzinger, an unabashed critic of former President Donald Trump and elements of the GOP, departed Congress earlier this year after opting not to vie for reelection in light of unfavorable redistricting. He recently took a job at CNN, where he will serve as a senior political commentator.
