In a momentous decision, the U.S. House of Representatives voted Friday morning to expel Republican Rep. GeorgeSantos of NewYork, marking a rare and significant event in congressional history. Since his election, Santos, embroiled in a series of #controversies and caught in a seemingly endless web of lies, becomes the sixth member to be expelled from the House. The expulsion follows a detailed investigation by the House Ethics Committee, which uncovered extensive evidence of alleged #misconduct, including campaign finance violations and misrepresentation of Santos’ background. The report laid bare a series of ethical breaches and set the stage for Friday’s decisive vote. With 311 votes in favor and 114 opposed to his ouster, Santos’s fate was #sealed. The decision is expected to have profound implications for the political climate, particularly for the Republican Party, which has faced internal division over handling the Santos controversy. As the news broke, reactions began pouring in from various political figures and constituents, reflecting the wide range of public opinion on this issue. Gay Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia, who has been pushing for Santos’s expulsion for months expressed his satisfaction by posting on X. Human Rights Campaign national press secretary Brandon Wolf celebrated the decision too.
