George Santos' ethics are questionable. So was this House GOP priority.
The GOP doesn’t need the OCE to make a determination about Santos’ misconduct — the party could simply look at all the publicly available evidence on its own and unite in calling for him to resign, or make use of congressional rules toBut if the Santos saga drags on for longer, the absence of a functional OCE reduces the likelihood of proper scrutiny by one of the few effective internal accountability mechanisms in Congress.
Republicans can improve good governance and enhance their capacity to investigate Santos by reversing their defanging of the OCE. But that’s not what their party really wants.
