McCarthy gained’t inform the Ethics Committee to face down because the DOJ investigates, and it appears like he has the votes to refer Santos for a committee investigation:

An indication McCarthy can have the votes to refer Santos expulsion decision to Home Ethics. Freshman GOP Rep. Mike Lawler says he’ll vote to discuss with committee. Dems, together with Jeffries, are anticipated to oppose referral to ethics to attempt to pressure expulsion vote now

All of it is a delay tactic by McCarthy as a result of he wants Santos’s vote within the Home. Kevin McCarthy is maintaining a felony indicted congressman within the Home as a result of his majority is just too small, and he can’t afford a single misplaced vote.

McCarthy’s conduct and the Home Republicans following him off this cliff are disgraceful.

Speaker McCarthy is exhibiting no respect for the Home as an establishment. It might be months, a 12 months, and even longer earlier than the ethics investigation is accomplished.

For the nice of the nation, George Santos ought to by no means have been seated within the Home. One of many duties that voters should accomplish in 2024 is to revive decency and the rule of regulation again to the Home by eliminating the Republican majority.
