New York Republicans Call On George Santos To Resign

Reuters reports:

New York Republicans on Wednesday called for the resignation of “disgraced” newly elected U.S. Representative George Santos, following revelations he fabricated much of his resume and life story during his campaign.

They made the call in a news conference two days after a nonpartisan watchdog accused Santos of breaking campaign finance laws in a filing with the Federal Elections Committee.

The Nassau County, New York, Republican Party, from the New York City suburb that includes the majority of Santos’ district, said in a statement ahead of the event that dozens of county Republican officials would make “a major announcement regarding the disgraced Member of the House of Representatives.”

The Hill reports:

“George Santos’s campaign last year was a campaign of deceit, lies and fabrication,” Nassau County GOP chairman Joseph Cairo said in a press conference Wednesday. “Today I am calling for his immediate resignation.”

“Congressman-Elect George Santos has broken the public trust by making serious misstatements regarding his background, experience and education, among other issues,” Cairo said.

The Nassau County GOP says George Santos “disgraced the House of Representatives” and calls on him to resign.
