"SNIP.......

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) will introduce an expulsion resolution against Rep. George Santos (R-NY) this afternoon, CBS News reports.

........SNIP"

[Tetrachloride]

1. This means zero House Republicans stepped forward

[SoCalDavidS]

2. Which Equals The Exact # Who Will Vote For This

Bunch of Pathetic Wimps.

[SheilaAnn]

3. Pretty sure Mitt Romney will..LOL. n/t

[PatSeg]

4. Oh yeah, in a heartbeat

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. No he won't

Romney is a senator, Santos is a congressman.

[SheilaAnn]

6. Ahh, thanks, forgot that. n/t

[GreenWave]

19. So his magic underwear isn't so magical?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

26. Magical-ish. "The Force" doesn't reach the other chamber.

Or maybe it's "The Farts" that don't reach the other chamber.

Anyway, I'd bet Santos' seat is seccre. No Republicans will vote to oust him, even though a few might like to see him gone.

[Rebl2]

22. True

They don’t want to lose that R.

[Cha]

7. Thank you & Robert Garcia! Of

course Kev & Howlers can't lose GS' stupid vote.. But at least it's on Record by a Dem!

I'm guessing this kind of thing doesn't happen that often.

[Harker]

15. I would expect a few more tomorrow.

They lack the capacity for original thought.

[getagrip_already]

8. Can they force a vote or even introduce it?

Is this one of those privelaged resolutions or does it have to wind its way through committees?

[Jarqui]

9. Good.

Gets them on the record.

It's an obvious disgrace.

No way Santos would have lasted this long decades ago.

[Marthe48]

10. He would not have been vetted

And allowed to run by any party years ago. Several others would have failed to qualify as well

[Jarqui]

12. Who would want to hang with MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, Gosar, Jordan, etc and Santos?

They've sullied the role for generations to come.

[Harker]

16. ...or opened the door.

It's just the beginning, I think.

[keopeli]

11. We need 6 Republicans in the house to vote to remove. I know at least that many have called for him

to resign. We need to make sure those Republicans follow through.

In particular, all of the NY GQP Freshmen in the house (there are six, I believe) need to be held to account.

If they do NOT vote him out, then we hold their feet to the fire. Especially NY State Republican members. I believe they are united in calling for him to step down.

[a kennedy]

13. Calling for him to resign AND VOTING FOR IT are two entirely different things.

[keopeli]

28. Not if you're honest. I know at least one of those Repukes is honest. But...

as another poster mentioned, the threshold is 67%, not 50%, so it will take a lot more than 6 honest GQPers. That's way too many, of course.

Note that I agree and understand that saying and doing are two entirely different things.

[Mr.Bill]

14. You need more than that.

It requires two-thirds of the vote. Otherwise, the majority would just expel the entire other party.

[keopeli]

27. You're right. I stand corrected (dammit!)

[nilram]

17. For the first time in forever, I have a Republican representative

She’s gonna get my call…

[Evolve Dammit]

18. GOP loves a Drumpf lookalike

[Vinca]

20. Is this something McCarthy can refuse to put on the floor? I still don't see Kevin

flushing this toilet.

[FakeNoose]

21. If they vote by SECRET BALLOT Santos is out in a heartbeat

If they make all the votes public (like they normally do) then the Repukes will all stand together.

[LisaM]

23. He should not have ever been on the ballot.

I want Santos gone. I do think, though, that Santos is suffering some form of mental illness and could benefit from treatment.

Instead of enthusiastically endorsing him, New York Republicans should have vetted him (maybe read the news article a local paper did on him). And the voters failed in their obligation, too. Yes, there are times I depend on endorsements, but I use them as a starting point, and I don't only rely on them. Somewhere, someone failed.

[world wide wally]

24. Absolutely straight party line vote?

That tells us even more than the impecahment votes

[11 Bravo]

25. Good! Put every single GOP shitweasel on the record.

You either believe that George Santos is fit to serve in the United States House of Representatives, or you don't.
Step right up, Pubbies!
