Reps. Nick Lalota, Marc Molinaro and Anthony D’Esposito voted against booting their colleague two months ago. But they back a Democratic attempt to censure him now.
. All three have already called on Santos to resign as he faces a litany of federal charges.
“I was the first to call for his resignation. I’ve said on the floor that he is a stain to our institution and I’d vote to censure,” D’Esposito said. Democrats would need more than those three GOP votes to adopt the measure, but it could be an inkling of more Republican support to come. The timing of the censure push is also key to getting more Republican support, according to lawmakers and aides. When McCarthy convinced his members to punt Democrats’ expulsion attempt to the Ethics Committee, some of them said they’d give the panel 60 days to determine whether Santos should be kicked out of Congress or face disciplinary measures. Now, just over 60 days out with no additional findings from the notoriously slow Ethics panel, Democrats are holding them to their word.
