House Expels George Santos From Congress in Historic Vote

Mr. Santos, a New York Republican, is the sixth member of the House to be expelled in the body’s history. “To hell with this place,” he said after his colleagues ousted him.

This is somewhat historic since it's only happened 6 times in US History.

The measure, which required a two-thirds majority, passed with 311 lawmakers in favor of expulsion, including 105 Republicans, and 114 against. Two members voted present.

What is MB's thoughts on this?

Some quick context if you don't know much about him:
Santos is a Republican US House Representative who was elected during the 2022 midterms to the 3rd Congressional District in New York. He's made headlines for his apparently colorful past and alleged lies and fraud. Such headlines include his past as a drag queen, committing fraud in Brazil, several statements in his resume and biography that appear to be false including stating he was "jew-ish", claims his mother died in 9/11 despite apparently being alive and well in Brazil at the time, false claims about his education, and plenty more.

Here's a link to the Wikipedia article on him which covers a lot more.

Did Santos meme too hard? Or is he just a headache of a figure for you?

Didn't he blow a fuck ton of taxpayer money on OnlyFans too lmao?

US politics is just a circus these days, genuinely can't believe they let these people in but I can't say much, here in the UK they let in a prime minister who stuck his nob in a pig's head

I'll think on it as we already have loads of reactions now as it is and I worry it will get to the point where its really cluttered. The reaction bar goes quite far already as it is but if the users want it I suppose I can.
