Molinaro backs effort to expel Santos
Republicans removing Republicans is in the news again. First, eight ultra-conservative House Republicans voted to vacate Kevin McCarthy from the role of House Speaker, and now Alex Gault at Johnson News Service reports Rep.

On Oct. 11 Molinaro and four other New York House Republicans introduced a resolution to expel Santos from Congress. Molinaro said, “George Santos is a liar and a fraud with a growing rap sheet....
