Re “Home Expels George Santos From Congress in Historic Vote” (nytimes.com, Dec. 1):
I respect that the Home has lastly voted to rid itself of Consultant George Santos.
It’s, nevertheless, a shame that a majority of Home Republicans who voted have been in opposition to expulsion.
The scathing report issued by the Home Ethics Committee sealed Mr. Santos’s destiny, as its exhaustive and prolonged investigation shone an much more clear mild on the multitude of lies he has instructed and the frauds he perpetrated. The person the voters of his New York district elected to the Home was not the person who George Santos represented himself to be.
Mr. Santos didn’t assist his trigger by responding to allegations with anger, vanity and condescension. An individual with a shred of remaining honor would have resigned slightly than put the Home and the nation via the ordeal of expulsion.
Mr. Santos’s self-inflicted wounds are hardly over for him as he continues to face quite a few felony costs.
It isn’t usually that a big majority of the Home on this period may be mentioned to have achieved the precise factor, however right this moment, and regardless of the big variety of Republicans who failed of their obligation, it did.
