Democrats have an opportunity to make Republicans sweat over Rep. George Santos after he was indicted for a host of alleged crimes
Santos pleaded not guilty last week to charges that he lied to Congress about his personal wealth, pocketed unemployment checks he did not qualify for, stole cash from his campaign and hornswoggled donors. Chad Pergram currently serves as a senior congressional correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC). He joined the network in September 2007 and is based out of Washington, D.C.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and other key Democrats have repeatedly punted the question of Santos’ fitness for office to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. The question prior to Tuesday was why Democrats — if they really think Santos is so ill-suited to serve — had not tried to oust Santos from Congress.
