‘He has tarnished my district and created an embarrassment’ for the GOP, constituent says
Ben Marzouk, a constituent of Mr Santos on Long Island, said throughout an interview on Tuesday that “he has tarnished my district and created an embarrassment to a party that should not be defined by him”.
“Republicans standing next to him proves that the nation cannot tell the difference between right and wrong, cannot tell the difference between a hard-working congressman, an honest congressman or congresswoman and an individual who is just simply a con man,” he included. “Individuals who do the right thing, who are honourable and a person who was just a liar.”

Here’s how George Santos might still be gotten rid of from workplace
Despite wave after wave of discoveries surrounding his past and present fictions and lies, the embattled congressman has actually stayed determined that he will stay in workplace. Even in the face of members of his own celebration requiring his ouster, Mr Santos has actually persevered.
But none of that might matter if the machinations of the United States House of Representatives conspire versus him.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has actually now verified that Santos is under examination by the House Ethics Committee.
“Ethics is moving through, and if ethics finds something, we’ll take action. Right now we’re not allowing him to be on committees from the standpoint of the questions that have arisen,” he said.

VOICES: Enough suffices, George Santos
A busload of 50 constituents representing NY-03 are on their method to Washington DC to face Speaker Kevin McCarthy and need that he act to eliminate George Santos from workplace. Every day Santos stays in Congress is an insult to the more than 700,000 locals of NY-03. It leaves us without significant representation in Congress – and we are upset.
We are making certain McCarthy hears us as it appears our voices have actually not taken a trip from Long Island, regardless of the 24/7 protection by regional, nationwide, and worldwide press.
Santos is a grifter and now he is grifting off the United States taxpayer. So long as he has a seat in Congress, he gets an income of 174,000 a year and advantages. He humiliated our district, he humiliated the Republican celebration, and now he is humiliating the United States taxpayers. Allowing a private with this performance history to stay in Congress defies sound judgment. The United States Constitution prepared for a George Santos and offered an escape hatch in such a circumstance —McCarthy can require a vote and when 2 thirds vote in favor of his expulsion, Santos is out. So why hasn’t McCarthy required one?
