"I mean, Kevin McCarthy needs every vote he can get, and he needs the vote of George Santos."

"Mr. Santos is the target of criminal investigations, at the local, state, national and international level. So, I support holding him accountable, by every means."

"We have to send a message that if you defraud the voters you're going to be held accountable."
