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.

All the other adults had brought props: the man from the bathroom-remodeling company handed out yellow rubber ducks, a local doctor let the kids poke and prod a model heart, and an engineer showed off a long, silly-looking tube that had something to do with the mass production of hot dogs.…
