Rep. George Santos expelled from Congress on bipartisan vote - Lemmy.World

Mike Johnson said “I personally have real reservations about doing this [expulsion], I’m concerned about a precedent that may be set for that.” Yes, let’s NOT set a precedent of holding politicians accountable for lies, fraud, and theft!

It should be pretty easy to find the list of everyone else who voted not to expel, so we know who is pro-corruption.

Four words: Innocent until proven guilty.

That’s like a basic principle of a Rule of Law.

Congress did an internal investigation and determined he likely broke the law. There you go.

This is just like any other workplace.

The bar for losing your job as a congress person or any public servant for corruption should be way lower than the bar for being sent to prison.
