Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said it was a “regrettable day” when the chamber expelled lying grifter George Santos because it makes governing the chamber more difficult now that he’s down to just a three-vote majority, Politico reports.
“We allowed [House Republicans] to have a vote of conscience,” Johnson boasted in a Fox News interview, demonstrating that the leadership of the GOP–who uniformly voted to keep Santos in the House–have weaker consciences than its membership. Per Forbes, Johnson also said that he believes he has enough votes to open up an impeachment probe of Joe Biden even though no GOP-led House committee has produced any information implicating Biden in any unethical or illegal scheme.
