Sean Hannity says he instructed House Republicans not to expel George Santos from Congress

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Until this election cycle, I frankly had not heard of Mazi Pilip. We put her on the show, see if we can give her a chance to win. A lot of friends of mine cared a lot about the race. And with the small margin of majority that the Republicans have on the House, they can ill afford to lose that seat.

Now, what I had told the New York delegation when I met some of them at the town hall that I did with the new speaker at the time, Speaker Johnson, I brought this subject up with them unsolicited. And I said, "Guys, unless somebody's convicted, I don't think you should be in the business of rushing to judgment and especially with the limited margin you have, kicking out a reliable Republican vote." That would have been Santos. I don't know.

2. Easy for him to say from the outside looking in. "George" is an actual psycho

and they were fully aware of it but still delayed for a long as they could.

I'm still hoping "George" stole their identities during their delay in kicking him out. You reap what you sow.

And someone needs to follow up on the status of that baby George was carrying around like a prop.

3. "I told you so" might make you feel smart, but it also points out your impotence.

If that balance works for your ego, keep yapping. A lot of other people wouldn't make that trade-off.

to their oath or to the American people.

They are accountable to Sean Hannity, who of course is a proxy for Mango Mussolini.

I didn't know it worked that way.

Fox News owns the GOP. They're not a news network, they're a hostile intelligence agency.
