LIAR AND A COWARD: D’Esposito Votes to Protect Santos After Previously Supporting Expulsion

Anthony D’Esposito coddles his criminal campaign donor, backtracking on expulsion with vote to keep Santos in Congress

Despite Rep. Anthony D’Esposito’s previous alleged support for expelling George Santos from Congress, today, D’Esposito cowered in the face of his radical GOP bosses and instead protected George Santos from being expelled once it came time to vote.

LET’S BE CLEAR: D’Esposito’s vote to refer the expulsion resolution to the House Ethics Committee – which is already investigating George Santos – is nothing more than a vote to secure George Santos’ undeserved place in office and rob Long Island workers and families in Santos’ district of real representation.

His vote today stands in stark contrast to what he previously told his constituents, and this massive hypocrisy proves voters can’t trust him.

Voters on Long Island have directly called on D’Esposito to remove Santos from Congress, but the increasingly vulnerable Republican would rather secure Santos’ loyal vote for the GOP’s dangerous agenda than actually respect the will of Long Islanders.

DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“Anthony D’Esposito should be ashamed that when it came time to take real action, he cowered and voted to protect George Santos, turning his back on Long Island. Voters are going to hold him accountable for his pathetic cowardice and massive hypocrisy.”
