George Santos compares himself to Mary Magdalene and dares colleagues to expel him
report by the House Ethics Committee into his behavior, and the federal charges he faces relating to wire fraud and identity theft, the question of his departing Congress is not ‘if’ but ‘when’.Santos has already said he won’t run for re-election next year.
However, just before Thanksgiving, the chair of the Ethics Committee, fellow Republican Michael Guest, introduced another motion to expel Santos.
Guest can force a vote on the motion when lawmakers return from their Thanksgiving break later this week.Santos took part in a ‘Spaces’ live discussion on X on Friday night.
He all but admitted he was likely to be expelled.“I know I’m going to get expelled when this expulsion resolution goes to the floor,” he said. “I’ve done the math over and over, and it doesn’t look really good.”Santos refused to be drawn on the specifics of the Ethics report, saying he was unable to do so because of his fight against the federal charges he faces.
