It's because he fucked with their money...

He made up like 500k in donations so that the Republican party would "match" and they gave him 250k.

So now the other Republicans who could have gotten that money are pissed

It took a 23-count indictment to make it happen, however.

I don't really get it. Santos is the most Republican to have every Republicaned. He's a lying, grifting, fraudster who knows practically nothing about anything and only got where he was by lying his way in and betraying the trust of everyone who backed him. He's so unhinged he doesn't even know where his lies stopped.

He's like the American conservative mascot. I'm surprised they don't name him Speaker.

It’s all a stunt. These republicans are just saving their own skin, fully knowing that vast majority of their own party won’t expel this asshat.

He's not popular and doesn't bring in any money.

Yeah, they've given George Santos a perverse incentive to vote against any viable speaker candidate to prevent this measure from coming to the floor. Or he could make his vote contingent on the new speaker not bringing it.

I was gonna say...can they even do that without a Speaker?

So this is just performance, it seems, with no ability or intention of following through.

Wait so only republicans vote? I thought it was the whole house.

I'd prefer if they'd just say "stupid fuck Elon Musk's X"

Proof your rebranding has failed.

In theory yes, in practice not so much since they'd probably be useful to one side or the other for votes.

He's no Norton.
