Proponents say

•      "George Santos is not fit to serve his constituents as a United States representative. George Santos directly profited from his fraudulent action, including transferring money to his own bank account to buy luxury items and pay off debt." Rep. Anthony D’ Esposito, Wood TV


•      "New Yorkers deserve better than scam artist George Santos. Now that we have a speaker, I expect the expulsion resolution we drafted several weeks ago to be acted on shortly. He gotta go." Rep. Nick LaLota, Daily News 


 •     " Taken together, the allegations in the indictment charge Santos with relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself. He used political contributions to line his pockets, unlawfully applied for unemployment benefits that should have gone to New Yorkers who had lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and lied to the House of Representatives."
