Even before New York Republican Anthony D’Esposito brought a motion to the floor forcing a vote on the latest attempt to oust claimed fellow New Yorker George Santos within the next two days, Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett let slip that Santos had requested a “special order hour” slot, where members can speak their minds. And here he goes!
UPDATE: Well, like Santos himself, that was underwhelming. Santos basically whined that if he should be expelled, he would not have been given “due process” because he had not yet been found guilty of anything. (Except he admitted he defrauded people and lied about his qualifications… and lied about his fundraising… and lied about, well, virtually everything. And an expulsion vote isn’t a criminal trial; there’s no standard of evidence. It’s about the standard accepted by your peers, which in the Republican conference, are already pretty low.
