Fetterman urges Menendez’s Senate expulsion following Santos’ House removal
Senator John Fetterman Calls for Expulsion of Senator Bob Menendez
During a recent interview on ABC’s “The View,” Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) made a bold statement, calling for the expulsion of Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) from the U.S. Senate. Fetterman’s remarks came in the wake of the expulsion of former Representative George Santos (R-NY) from the U.S. House of Representatives.
Fetterman expressed his lack of surprise at Santos’ removal, but emphasized that Menendez’s actions were far more serious and sinister. He questioned how someone like Menendez could be allowed to remain in the Senate while Santos was expelled for comparatively less severe offenses.
“Senator Menendez, he needs to go,” Fetterman asserted. “Santos’ lies were almost comical, but Menendez’s actions are truly concerning. He represents Egypt, not New Jersey. We need to make the decision to send him out.”
Expulsion Vote and Republican Opposition
The vote to expel Santos from the House passed easily, with 311 representatives voting in favor and 114 voting against. Notably, 105 Republicans joined the Democrats in supporting the expulsion.
However, all four of the top Republican House leaders, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), opposed expelling Santos. They believed that expulsion without a conviction could set a dangerous precedent. The Republican leaders did not actively rally against the expulsion, stating that it was a matter of conscience for each representative.
