"Expulsion of Rep. George Santos: A Reminder of Consequences in Congress"
TL;DR
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized ousted Rep. George Santos for leaving the House chamber before the conclusion of his expulsion vote, calling him a "coward." Santos, who has been accused of ethics violations, including fraud and campaign finance crimes, is the sixth lawmaker to be expelled from the House. Pelosi emphasized the seriousness of the vote and the need to uphold the dignity and respect of the House of Representatives. The historic bipartisan vote of 311-114-2 to expel Santos followed two unsuccessful attempts. Santos maintains his innocence and refuses to leave Congress voluntarily.
