Molinaro says he will vote to censure Santos

Paul Kirby reports for the Daily Freeman that Rep. Marc Molinaro said July 18 that he will vote to censure fellow Republican George Santos. Molinaro previously voted against kicking Santos out of Congress. Democrats are expected to introduce a censure resolution into the House soon. Molinaro said, “George Santos should not be a Member of Congress.... I called for his resignation months ago and I’d censure him now.” Republicans have just a four-seat majority in the House of Representatives and don't seem likely to remove one of their members, even with a record of lying like Santos. The Long Island Congressperson has been charged with embezzling money from his campaign, falsely receiving unemployment funds, and lying to Congress about his finances. Molinaro represents the 19th Congressional District. Read more about this story in the Daily Freeman.
