María Elvira Salazar Sided With George Santos, Voted To Protect The Criminally-Indicted Serial Fraudster

Today, María Elvira Salazar voted to keep serial liar George Santos in Congress – breaking with Republicans and Democrats when a vote was called to expel.

The bipartisan House Ethics Committee recently released a report detailing “overwhelming evidence” of lawbreaking by the fraudster. The investigative report concluded that Santos “cannot be trusted.”

Santos – who fabricated his resume and lied to voters – was indicted on 23 counts by federal prosecutors for charges including wire fraud, money laundering, stealing public funds and lying on federal disclosure forms.

DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen: 
“By standing by George Santos once again, María Elvira Salazar is embracing the lies, chaos, and deceit this serial fraudster has brought to the halls of Congress. It’s clear Salazar cannot be trusted to represent Floridians.”
