Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the new chair of the House Oversight Committee, said embattled Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., would be ousted from Congress if it's determined that he broke campaign finance laws.
Santos has steadfastly refused to resign, and denies any criminal wrongdoing.not the party & politicians, I remain committed to doing that and regret to hear that local officials refuse to work with my office to deliver results to keep our community safe and lower the cost of living."He's a bad guy. This is something that — it's really bad. He's not the first politician, unfortunately, to make it Congress, to lie,” Comer said Sunday.
“He's going to be under strict ethics investigations, not necessarily for lying, but for his campaign finance potential violations,” he continued. “So I think that Santos is being examined thoroughly. It's his decision whether or not he should resign; it's not my decision. But certainly I don't approve of how he made his way to Congress.”
The House has the ability to expel a member with a two-thirds majority, though that power has rarely been exercised in modern history. It’s more common for lawmakers to resign when facing such widespread condemnation."He's a bad guy. This is something that — it's really bad. He's not the first politician, unfortunately, to make it Congress, to lie,” Comer said Sunday."The voters of his district have elected him. He is seated.
