Rep. George Santos tells NBCNews that “if 142 people ask for me to resign, I will resign.”
Even Republicans who have stopped just short of directly calling for his resignation have said they doubt how effective he can be in office.
"I don't think there's any way he can possibly perform his duties, and the man's got to be honest with himself and his constituents," Rep. Marc Molinaro, R-N.Y., told NBC News Thursday. "He lost the confidence of people. So, you know, I think he needs to seriously consider whether or not he can actually do the job effectively," Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., added.
But House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has so far said he won't join in the chorus trying to get Santos out.," McCarthy said this week."If there is a concern, he has to go through the Ethics [Committee]; let him move through that. But right now, the voters have a voice in the decision. It's not where people pick and choose based upon what somebody's press has. So he will continue to serve.
