U.S. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.) said Oct. 11 he will introduce a resolution to expel from Congress his embattled gay GOP colleague from New York, U.S. Rep. George Santos.
After D’Esposito announced the plans on X, he told reporters the resolution is backed by the entirety of the state’s freshman Republican House delegation, U.S. Reps. Nick LaLota, Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro, Nick Langworthy and Brandon Williams.
The congressman’s post cites the “ever-expanding legal case against” Santos, who on Tuesday was handed a 23-count superseding indictment by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, which alleges a bevy of financial crimes.
In May, the New York Republicans voted with their GOP colleagues to refer allegations of malfeasance against Santos to the House Ethics Committee.
Last week, the Long Island-based ex-campaign treasurer for Santos, Nancy Marks, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the U.S., which included wire fraud, falsifying records, and identity theft.
On Wednesday night, Santos responded by proclaiming “I look very much forward to seeing the anti American attempt by WEAK RINO’s to oust me without giving me my right to Due process.”
