The House has voted to expel New York Republican Rep. George Santos over ethics violations, making him only the sixth lawmaker ever to be kicked out of the chamber. The resolution required a two-thirds majority vote to succeed. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that 311 members of the House voted to expel Santos, which included 105 Republicans. Another 114 voted against the expulsion, with two members recording themselves "present." #cnn #news #georgesantos #house #congress #houseofrepresentatives

2024 Vote to oust those who based on party needs voted to keep Santos in Congress. America MUST come before party, red or blue.

It's FINALLY about time these "Public Officials " have CONSEQUENCES for their actions! 🙄🙄

[Savadorason]

-He was an embarrassing detriment to any party that he'd be in.

[rickellgreen]

Took longer than it should, with all he's done over the past year or so he should have been gone sooner.

[waltermmccoy]

Well overdue about time he's not the only one who should be kicked out of the Republican Party

[williammiles]

Good! Let’s continue to clean house and senate!

[Not_MelloYt]

Good, I'm glad he's gone. He had no business being in Congress

[laura-gpgv]

The bar is so low. It takes something as extreme as Santo's actions to be removed. We should DEMAND better from our elected officials. He is not the only one who is unfit but This is what it takes?!!

NEVER FORGET JANUARY 6TH AND SEPTEMBER 11TH. 😪

[juanvazquez]

It’s mind blowing, that it took them these long to take action against this guy. 🤦🏻

[matthewmcdermit]

Yeah, after stating that he would wear his removal as a "badge of honor, " he then stridently argued that he not be removed. . . . But we still have about 130 Republicans who participated in Trump's coup attempt -- including the Speaker. I am voting for Democrats in order to remove this 🗑

[MrOnwisconsin]

But how can you kick the solo pickleball national champion out of congress?

[nanaboolala]

Still more GOP voted for him to remain than be booted. Continues to say a lot about the current GOP

[vincenthernandez]

How could they kick out a war hero/astronaut?? 😂

[Butteredstuff]

JUSTICE!! Now, try him criminal on charges and put him where he belongs, prison.

[freddogrosso]

Outrageous! He was a WWII condecorated veteran! And the 1st man on Mars!

[Lolas_World]

Not the 5 Time WCW, Oscar Winning, Wrestling Champion, and MVP World Volleyball player! 😮 Congress needs to be impeached! 😂

[anthonypetercoleman]

If you got rid of MTG and BOBO now, they might actually be able to get some work done instead of just making it a circus of stupidity every day.

[xpfgbbq]

And 114 voted not to kick him out that’s the disgusting part name every one of those 114 and make damn sure they don’t get reelected again

[johnnydoe]

112 Republicans Voting to Keep him.
