George Santos Faces Two More Calls for Ouster From Fellow Republicans

(Bloomberg) -- Representatives Marc Molinaro and Anthony D’Esposito on Tuesday came out in favor of expulsion for George Santos, a fellow New York Republican, building on a groundswell of support for the move as the embattled fabulist rejects demands to voluntarily resign from the House.

“His dishonesty is so extensive, and with so many ongoing investigations, he has eroded his ability to serve,” Molinaro told Bloomberg. “That he doesn’t see this or seemingly understand or care about the damage he’s doing to the institution, his constituents and himself — is so troubling there’s nothing less that should happen. His dishonesty is fundamentally destructive.”

A spokesman for D’Esposito said the freshman, too, supports Santos’s expulsion.

“Congressman Santos’s many lies, mistruths, and deceptions inhibit his ability to serve the people as a member of Congress,” said Matt Capp, D’Esposito’s communications director, “and his continued presence in the House of Representatives is a stain on the institution.”
