Tara Suter in The Hill reports that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee put out a video Sept. 7 attacking five New York Republican House members, including Rep. Marc Molinaro, for not moving to expel Rep. George Santos. In May, Molinaro, Anthony D’Esposito, Brandon Williams, Mike Lawler, and Nick LaLota all voted to refer a resolution of Santos’s expulsion to the House Ethics Panel, instead of voting to expel the Congressperson. Santos faces 13 federal criminal charges related to alleged financial crimes, and has been caught lying hundreds of times. Of course, Molinaro and other Republicans also support former President Donald Trump, who faces 91 criminal charges and has been caught lying thousands of times. Molinaro campaign advisor Dave Catalfamo said, “It’s political malpractice that the Washington Democrats are spending money to remind voters of Molinaro bashing Santos while the Biden-Hochul migrant crisis is overwhelming the state.” Read more about this story in The Hill.
