George Santos to Ethics Committee<\/h2>\n<p>The House of Representatives made a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-snubs-gop-leaders-on-new-iran-diplomacy\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Snubs GOP Leaders on New Iran Diplomacy\">significant move<\/a> on May 17 by voting to refer a resolution to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) to the Ethics Committee. Despite a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-americans-have-overwhelmingly-rejected-court-packing-is-the-far-left-willing-to-gamble-the-midterms-on-a-losing-proposition\/\" title=\"ANALYSIS: Americans Have Overwhelmingly Rejected Court-Packing \u2014 Is The Far Left Willing To Gamble The Midterms On A Losing Proposition?\">concerted push<\/a> to remove the lawmaker due to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ark-man-confesses-to-breaching-capitol\/\" title=\"Ark. man confesses to breaching Capitol\">alleged crimes<\/a>, the GOP motion to refer the bill was approved with a vote of 221-204, primarily along party lines, as all Republicans voted in favor. All five Democrats on the Ethics Committee essentially abstained by voting \u201cpresent.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Resolution Introduced by Rep. Robert Garcia<\/h3>\n<p>The privileged resolution was introduced by Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), who attempted to force a vote on the issue, increasing the pressure on House Republicans to take action against the disgraced Republican. Santos, who is a first-term Republican, was charged with 13 federal crimes and arrested on May 10. He was released shortly thereafter and maintains his innocence.<\/p>\n<h3>Garcia Calls on Republicans to Take Action<\/h3>\n<p>Garcia called on Republicans to take action against Santos after introducing the resolution, saying in a Twitter post: \u201cI\u2019m starting the process of forcing a floor vote on our resolution to expel George Santos from the U.S. House of Representatives. Republicans will now have a chance to demonstrate to the American people that an admitted liar and criminal should not serve in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeorge Santos is a fraud and a liar, and he needs to be expelled by the House,\u201d Garcia alleged in his statement posted to Twitter, going on to cite the charges against Santos, saying they should have been the \u201cfinal straw\u201d for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).<\/p>\n<h3>Santos Reacts to the News<\/h3>\n<p>Santos reacted to the news in a statement shared by Punchbowl\u2019s Mica Soellner, saying, \u201cFortunately, justice is blind in our country, and everyone is innocent until proven guilty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegrettably so[,] Rep. Garcia and the Democrats are playing the roles of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-vote-rep-george-santos-survives-expulsion-resolution\/\" title=\"Rep.

Expelling me is silencing 145k+ voters who sent me here to represent them and taking the voice away from 700k people.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>What Happens Next?<\/h3>\n<p>Garcia\u2019s resolution is privileged, which means that according to the House Rules and Precedents, the Republican-controlled House was forced to take it up within the next two congressional days. To pass the resolution and remove Santos from Congress, the measure would have needed a two<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tennessee-historical-commission-votes-to-move-bust-of-kkk-leader-from-state-capitol-to-museum\/\" title=\"Tennessee Historical Commission Votes To Move Bust Of KKK Leader From State Capitol To Museum\">-thirds majority vote<\/a>, which would have required significant support from both parties.<\/p>\n<h3>Summary<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The House of Representatives voted to refer a resolution to expel Rep.
