Nick Langworthy told Axios: "I think my staff has gotten something but I haven't reviewed it."in New York, where Republicans did unusually well last November and flipped several seats.The lawmakers said the legislation is clearly aimed at Santos. "It's squarely placed at part of his skin," said LaLota.
"It's logical to think that part of his motivation of being on TV, tweeting, giving floor speeches, isn't ... rehabilitation, which will never happen," LaLota said, "It's to promote himself, to probably sell ... a movie later on, and we should provide him no incentive to continue this mockery." Molinaro said the bill is “obviously spurred by George Santos," calling it a "direct response to what we see as an erosion of the public’s trust and an unwillingness to acknowledge the level of dishonesty.”"I haven't been convicted of any crime. Are you aware of me being convicted of any crime?" Santos told Axios, adding that he is also "not aware" of being under investigation and has not heard from investigators.
