GOP Rep Facing Expulsion Introduces Resolution to Kick Out Dem Lawmaker Who Pulled Fire Alarm

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) is facing a vote to expel him from 🏛️Congress, but if he’s going out, he wants to kick out another lawmaker while he’s at it.

On Thursday, the Republican congressman introduced a resolution to expel New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D).

“We have a member of 🏛️Congress that earlier this year took a plea deal to obstructing a congressional hearing. That’s not the plea deal he took, right? I’m kidding. He took a plea deal for pulling a fire alarm, a fire alarm which obstructed and delayed an official hearing and proceeding on the House floor,” Santos said.

He went on, “Now, had that been any other person, had it been one of the members of the media, had it been a Republican member of 🏛️Congress, we all know that that person would have been charged with obstructing a congressional hearing, just like the somewhat 140 people sitting in prison right now because of January 6th.”

“But Jamaal Bowman gets a pass. That’s why today at noon, I’m going to be introducing a privilege motion for expulsion of convicted and guilty, pleaded Congressman Jamaal Bowman. And I stand there. I think that that’s consistency. Let’s hold our own accountable, but let’s make sure that we do it with the precedent of the House,” Santos added.

Finally, he warned, “If the House wants to start different precedent and expel me, that is going to be the undoing of a lot of members of this body because this will haunt them in the future, where mere allegations are sufficient to have members removed from office when duly elected by their people in their respective states and district.”
