Even multiple Republicans in Congress have said Rep. George Santos shouldn't be in office.
"We gave him plenty of time to resign, and he has chosen not to do so," Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California, the freshman lawmaker who is spearheading House Democrats' effort, said during a press conference unveiling the expulsion resolution outside the Capitol.
Santos' support in the party is not universal. He and GOP Sen. Mitt Romney had a tense exchange shortly before the on Tuesday, in which the Utah senator told Santos he didn't belong in Congress. Multiple other Republicans, including several from New York, have said he should resign. Expelling a member from the House requires the support of two thirds of members under the Constitution. "He should have resigned," Goldman said."He should not be a member of Congress, and we are left with no choice but to put a resolution on the House floor to expel him from Congress. He defrauded his voters. He defrauded the state of New York."
Goldman added that Santos is"not just a simple liar," but a"conman who does not belong in Congress." while investigations into his activities are ongoing. He didn't answer questions at the Capitol on Thursday about the expulsion resolution.
