House votes to expel Santos from Congress

The House has voted to expel New York Republican Rep. George Santos over ethics violations, making him only the sixth lawmaker ever to be kicked out of the chamber.

The resolution required a two-thirds majority vote to succeed. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that 311 members of the House voted to expel Santos, including 105 Republicans. Another 114 voted against the expulsion, with two members recording them selves "present."

All four top House GOP leaders, including Johnson, voted to keep Santos in Congress.

Santos is the first member of Congress to be expelled since the Civil War who wasn’t first convicted of a felony.

George Santos after House expels him: "To hell with this place"

GOP Rep. George Santos told CNN after the House voted to expel him that "it’s over."

“The House spoke that’s their vote. They just set new dangerous precedent for themselves,” he added.

When asked if he would still stay and use nonmember privileges because he is not convicted, Santos said, "Why would I want to stay here? To hell with this place.”

Pressed if he knew this was how it was going to go, Santos said, "I had no skin in the game."

And then he said, "You know what? As unofficially no longer a member of Congress, I no longer have to answer your questions."
