Washington, D.C. – In response to House Republicans failing to expel Representative George Santos from Congress, MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting issued the following statement: “George Santos belongs in a courtroom—not in Congress—and he needs to be removed from office immediately. Kevin McCarthy is trying to hang on to his razor-thin majority by dragging out and delaying his responsibility to expel George Santos from Congress.

Yet on Tuesday, Nikki Haley set out to declare her position on the issue—and proceeded to be about as clear as concrete. She began with plausible precision. “I want to save as many lives and help as many moms as possible,” the former South Carolina governor and ambassador to the United Nations told reporters gathered at the Susan B.
