Washington, D.C. – Following Rep. George Santos‘s expulsion from Congress, MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting released the following statement:
“Is there anyone in the market for a 15-foot George Santos balloon? The Republican Party enabled Rep. Santos and his rampant corruption for far too long. This is a massive victory for New York 3rd District residents who are finally free from a lying lawmaker cheating the system to pad his own pockets and his closet.”
As covered by The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and more, MoveOn flew a 15-foot inflatable of disgraced Rep. George Santos outside the Capitol this week during a rally demanding that Congress expel him. Since he was sworn in, MoveOn and its Long Island members have been calling for Santos to resign or be expelled. More than 154,000 members signed a petition for him to step aside over his rampant lies and corruption.
