Congressman Robert Garcia Statement on New York Republican Members Call to Expel George Santos

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Robert Garcia (CA-42) released the following statement after New York Republican Members called to expel George Santos:

“Great to hear that the New York Republican Freshmen are finally ready to expel fraudster George Santos from Congress. Months ago, every single one of them voted against expelling Santos. He has been able to get away with his fraud and lies for far too long while House Republicans have sat by and protected him.”

“The American people deserved action long ago. Now, we will wait and see if my Freshmen colleagues across the aisle are actually willing to bring this to the Floor or if this is just another political stunt. I’m ready to vote to expel.”

In February, Congressman Garcia introduced a resolution to expel George Santos from Congress. In May, Congressman Garcia forced a floor vote on this resolution, which every House Republican voted to refer to the Ethics Committee, rather than vote to expel.
