Democrats are trying to expel Republican George Santos from Congress, depriving the GOP of one quarter of its majority in the House of Representatives.
The New York Times, in its May 21 editorial, calls on House Republicans to remove Rep. George Santos because, as the title of the print version of the editorial, he deceived voters. The print version of this New York Times ploy to narrow the gap between House Democrat and Republicans is: “G.O.P LEADERS MUST HOLD SANTOS ACCOUNTABLE FOR DECEIVING VOTERS.”
The online title asks, “Why is George Santos Still in Office?”
But why are so many House Democrats who regularly deceive voters still in office?
On the matter of voter deception, first The New York Times must return its Pulitzer for its reporting of the false Trump Russia collusion story. Until that Pulitzer returned, this award represents serious honor to baseless reportage.
And if George Santos is to be removed from Congress, he must be joined by the removal of all House Democrats who pushed theTrump/Russia collusion fabrication, discredited by The Durham Report, intended to undermine the presidential election of November 8, 2016.
Equal justice under law includes this principle: No one is immune to account for deceiving the public for political gain.
Oh, that’s not the half of it, literally. If Santos is kicked out, guess who gets to name a replacement until the next election? Yeah, kicking Santos out will result in a two-vote swing in the power division and THAT is the entire purpose behind this hypocritical theater.
Yeah, Santos is a despicable liar. But, Democrats have actually elected CORPSES before, so what’s the big deal with electing a (or another) liar into Congress?
Except, thanks to Democrats, this is a dead principle. Look at the MASSIVE lies spewed out by Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff, Swalwell, Schumer, AOC, Tlaib, Omar, Bush, the entire January 6th committee… are they held accountable? These weren’t lies to just get elected and earn a big salary; these were despicable lies designed to DESTROY OUR GOVERNMENT. No, hold these traitors to account FIRST, then we’ll deal with Santos, even if he survives his next election.
The gov only names a replacement for a senator.
If Santos were to leave now a special election would be held in Nov. If he were to leave in Nov the seat would be vacant till election 2024.
It’s my understanding the governor would name the replacement. Am I wrong?
