In a defiant statement on X Spaces, Representative George Santos anticipates expulsion from Congress after a House ethics committee report reveals significant evidence of lawbreaking. Despite his combative stance, Santos acknowledges the likelihood of expulsion, following the introduction of a resolution by the committee chair, Michael Guest.
The report accuses Santos of misusing campaign funds for personal expenses, including purchases at luxury retailers and adult content websites. Santos, who has survived previous expulsion votes, faces increased support for expulsion among colleagues. During the livestream, he avoids addressing specific allegations, deeming them "slanderous" and refrains from defending his conduct due to an ongoing criminal case.
Santos reflects on his political journey, portraying himself as the "Mary Magdalene of the United States Congress." He criticizes congressional colleagues, alleging misconduct worse than his own. Despite not seeking re-election, he attributes it to frustration with colleagues' "sheer arrogance" rather than external pressure.
