By George, Santos is gone.
The freshman Queens/Long Island Republican Congress member, who made national headlines when the New York Times revealed that he had fabricated most of his resume while running for election to the House of Representatives, was expelled from Congress Friday morning.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) announced the result at 11 a.m., with 311 members voting in favor — 206 Democrats and 104 Republicans. The expulsion vote required 290 members, or a two-thirds majority, to take effect.
