George Santos Leaves Capitol Hill After Expulsion From Congress

The George Santos fiasco is finally at an end, at least in Congress, with the US House of Representatives — including 105 of his Republican colleagues — voting Friday to expel him. The 311-114 vote comfortably cleared the two-thirds majority needed to make him only the third House member to be expelled since the Civil War.

Santos himself was mostly a harmless amusement. But he was an embarrassment for his party and for the chamber, and it’s good that he’s gone. House Republicans deserve credit for producing the votes to remove him even though the party might lose his seat in an upcoming special election to replace him — a seat they badly need given their narrow majority. That was probably on the minds of the 112 Republicans, including leadership, who voted against his expulsion.
