That is precisely because of politics, because his district is one of the most progressive districts in America. He couldn't muster the courage to even condemn the New York City DSA, so save us your sanctimoniousness sitting over there with your smug look.

You don't expel a Member for something they said. You expel a Member for their conduct. The conduct of Mr. Santos has been embarrassing and unbecoming and unfit for public office.

It is why all of us called for Mr. Santos to resign when this information came to light.…”
