George Santos was expelled from the House of Representatives on Friday morning. Long Island leaders were quick to react.
Santos has joined the company of former Rep. James Traficant (D-Ohio), who was expelled in 2002 after his conviction on bribery charges, former Rep. Michael Myers (D-Pennsylvania) who was expelled in 1980 after convictions on bribery and fraud chargers, and John B. Clarke, John W. Reid, and Henry C. Burnett, three representatives who were expelled in 1861 for supporting the Confederacy.
