Indicted Republican freshman Rep. George Santos of New York faces a motion to be expelled from in the U.S. House of Representatives tomorrow, the third such attempt to remove Santos after Santos’ movie-plot alleged double life as a serial fabulist and canine con artist who turned his congressional campaign into a discretionary spending account for everything from Botox injections to OnlyFans exploded into first headlines, then a criminal investigation and felony charges. This time around, a damning Ethics Committee report substantiating the allegations against Santos has pushed a significant number of Republicans including Colorado’s Rep. Ken Buck off the fence–those it’s unknown as of now whether the two-thirds majority required has materialized. Colorado’s other GOP Reps. Doug Lamborn and Lauren Boebert are publicly undecided, though as readers know Boebert and Santos have struck up an unlikely friendship on the back bench of the U.S. House, Santos even getting prop time with Boebert’s regularly in-tow grandchild.
Ahead of tomorrow’s expected vote on a motion to expel Rep. Santos, let’s put the question to readers: do you think Santos’ detractors have the votes to expel him?

I voted not sure. They might make him Speaker!
Well now hold on a second! Santos has introduced a resolution to expel Rep. Jamaal Bowman, therefore under some arcane House rule Santos can’t be expelled, or something.
