Pelosi calls Santos a ‘coward’ for leaving chamber before expulsion vote closed
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized ousted Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) for leaving the House chamber before his expulsion vote was completed, labeling him a “coward”. Santos, who was expelled by a historic 311-114-2 vote, had faced allegations of ethics violations including fraud and campaign finance crimes. Despite the House Ethics Committee releasing a report citing substantial evidence of criminal behavior, Santos has continued to maintain his innocence. Pelosi expressed that the expulsion vote was “necessary” to uphold the dignity of the House of Representatives, and praised the bipartisan support for the vote.
