The “leaders” who didn’t vote to expel Santos are those who are not doing the work of, by and for the people. Voters - be smarter.

It’s hard to believe it took this long with all the clear evidence against him!! I hope he goes to Federal prison for 20 years . He’s a liar, a cheat & a thief .

It was about damn time 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️💙🇺🇸

A hundred GOP members thought that he had a good enough moral code to stay in place. Those representatives need to be removed by the voters.

[kathyjones]

He should’ve never held a seat in the first place! This took far too long!

[SamiKotiranta]

Well, that took 4ever. Even when there was overwhelming evidence...

Did she really say the Republicans "want to get back to governing"? Really? What decade was that?

[jroysims]

As honest as George Santos. As humble as Donald Trump. As nice as Rand Paul.
That's today's Republican Party.

Yet a majority of the Republicans voted to keep him in... a miracle we pulled this off.

Mr George “I will not stand by quietly “ Santos expelled
Well… spill the tea sis! 😂

[Kooster]

Now it's time for Congress to investigate the alleged rumors about Matt Gaetz.

[RonJacksonToahani]

The ones that voted not to expell him should be expelled themselves.

[Darbobski]

It is about time. Embarrassingly late, in fact.

[suecampbell]

Nice to know that some GOP members do have limits. I was beginning to wonder...ok, not beginning, but still, wondering.

[danasams]

Thank you Holy Mary. He should have never come close to this seat. What a scary mess in our government.

[cocofluff]

This should be a lesson to all voters. Don't just blindly vote along party lines. Know the candidate you are voting for. You can't depend on these parties to vet candidates. Even the N.Y press fell down on this one.

[deborahwade]

If Santos wasn't expelled, that party would have NO CREDIBILITY. They have very little now. And of course the speaker shifted the topic to the Senate and changed the subject.

We want the names of his enablers in Congress who are the 100 who voted to keep him in office? Accountability Now!

[Neovipr]

This is amazing. It's so rare to see actual justice in the government.

[justingreenup]

Good to see the GOP actually shun one of their own for being arrogant with his lies! Keep up the good work and expell Trump!
