Also GOP: We need to impeach and remove Biden becauseyou know

Rep. George Santos, the embattled New York Republican who admitted to lying about his background and has been indicted on federal fraud charges, easily survived a bipartisan effort to expel him from the House of Representatives on Wednesday.

The expulsion resolution, which was led by his fellow New York Republicans and says Santos is not fit to serve, needed support from a supermajority, or at least two-thirds of the voting lawmakers, to pass.

The final tally did not even crest the simple majority threshold: 179 voted in favor of expulsion, 213 against and 19 voting present. Thirty one Democrats voted with 182 Republicans against expulsion, while 24 Republicans voted with 155 Democrats to remove Santos.

"One can't say that they are pro-Constitution and at the same time act as judge, jury and executioner. Where is the consistency?" Santos said of his New York colleagues in a defiant floor speech ahead of Wednesday's vote.

He noted that the last time a House member was expelled, more than 20 years ago, that person had been criminally convicted. "Now is not the time to set dangerous precedent," he said.

Lol, he actually posted this right after the House vote.

Let him have his fun. He has about a year of freedom left.

On the one hand, this asshole should have been in prison years ago. On the other- boy howdy do I look forward to the future memes, impersonations and continued erosion of the GOP clown show.

Nothing like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Seems kinda reasonable. Something like this really should be associated with some sort of conviction first.

I don't like the guy, but at the same time there should be some sort of conviction before he's forced out. Whether that's in a criminal court or through impeachment is fine.
