Playbook: “Democrats are scouring the record of Rep.-elect George Santos (R-NY) to determine their next steps following an extraordinary New York Times investigation of the incoming Republican from Long Island that revealed a history of seemingly fraudulent claims.”
“Democrats are pondering how far to go in their condemnation. Should he be referred to the House Ethics Committee? (Almost certainly.) Should they call for his resignation before he is sworn in? (Some say yes.) Should they call for his expulsion after he’s sworn in? (Probably, but with the GOP in charge it won’t work.) Or should they try to prevent him from being sworn in at all?”
Said incoming Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries: “If Mr. Santos is indicative of what we can expect from the new Republican Congress, the American people are in for a rough ride.”
