This tells us all we need to know about our house of representatives. Congress is beyond broken.

[jonathanburton]

31 Democrats voted NOT to Remove him? What is that all about??

[mikeymill]

And yet Al Franken resigned. The party of “family values” reaches another low. And the Dems who voted to with the R’s … sickening

[laurieprevish]

I’m so ashamed of our government…no longer do they represent the people, they stand only for their own agendas, which is the demise of our country 😢

[Strange_Shadow]

😂😂😂 did they really think they could expel someone ov😢er ethics? They didn't even expel traitors for trying to destroy our country 😂.

Being a liar & a criminal is a requirement to be a member of the Republican party. The bigger the criminal, the more they love them!

[jonathanburton]

I WANT TO KNOW THE NAMES OF ALL THE DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED NOT TO REMOVE HIM AND THEIR REASONS WHY.

[VinnyZell-cx]

It looks like the American people will have to make their presence known by going to the ballot box to make their voices heard.

[gadgetollie]

The last I heard, 78% of the people in Santos' district wanted him removed. Once again, the house proves it does not care what the people want.

[Bonjour-World]

Tonight George Santos proved that no matter how big a crook one is, one can always depend on the support of the Republican party.

[sparkyheberling]

Un-friggin’-believable. Well, now we know that Clarence Thomas is secure.

[jonathanburton]

I'm surprised that Republicans didn't make him Speaker of the House. George Santos represents the Republican Party perfectly.

[marcosgoldenvoice]

So much for any hope of integrity in the House of Reps. 😡

[logical]

Exactly Noone who is informed is surprised by this....

[OneEyedJacker]

Santos is richly deserving of expulsion. The fact that he was not is disgraceful.

[thomasd]

Nice fraudulent & dishonest behavior we have in the house.
They ALL need to be expelled . smh 😡😡😡

[justintruong]

If Congress members cannot expel George Santos, vote out GOP next November.

[grimdolo]

Holding on to power is more important than doing what's right.

[tinaprovencio]

Unbelievable!!! What's wrong with Congress. This guy should be expelled from Congress pronto!!

[hemihead]

So much for the crime fighting lawlessness and disorder party.
