I'm torn on this. Not because I like Santos, obviously. I have no interest in defending him or dying on this hill. The ethics report and indictments are damning. However, he hasn't been convicted of anything yet. That should mean something. And this iteration of the GQP will seize on this and try to expel another Democrat the millisecond they think they can do so.
Also, politically, I'd love to let this piece of lying, grifting trash hang like a millstone around their necks.
The standard for serving in the people’s house ought to be a wee bit higher than just not being a convicted felon. He was plenty deserving of expulsion and everyone knows it.
