Yesterday, the House of Representatives did the right thing in rejecting a resolution to expel serial liar Con(gressman) George Santos by sending the matter to where it belongs, the Ethics Committee.
The Democrats, who should know better, including New Yorkers Dan Goldman, Ritchie Torres and Hakeem Jeffries, tried to bypass the normal process and embarrass the Republicans. Speaker Kevin McCarthy was correct to refer to the ethics panel, a measure that passed on a party line vote of 221-204.
Removing an elected, sitting member of Congress should be an incredibly high bar that’s only really met post-trial and conviction or in instances where he has been found by the Ethics Committee to have violated the rules.
