NEW VIDEO: Extreme MAGA New York Republicans Protected Criminally-Indicted George Santos

LaLota, D’Esposito, Lawler, Molinaro and Williams voted to protect federally-indicted Santos, even after calling for him to leave office

Today, on the day criminally-indicted Republican George Santos was originally scheduled to appear in federal court, the DCCC is reminding New Yorkers with a new video that extreme MAGA New York Republicans Nick LaLota, Anthony D’Esposito, Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro, and Brandon Williams protected serial liar George Santos.

LaLota, D’Esposito, Lawler, Molinaro, and Williams stalled the effort to expel serial liar Santos by referring the expulsion resolution to the House Ethics Committee – caving once again to MAGA extremists’ desperate attempts to hold on to the GOP’s slim, chaotic majority. D’Esposito defended his inaction by claiming this was the “quickest way” to get rid of his criminal colleague while LaLota promised that Santos would be gone “before August recess.”

Extremist Speaker Kevin McCarthy recently returned the favor by padding vulnerable New York Republicans’ campaign coffers in the Catskills and Central New York.

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“Nick LaLota, Anthony D’Esposito, Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro, and Brandon Williams turned their backs on New Yorkers by voting to protect an admitted criminal – making it crystal clear they stand with MAGA extremists over New York voters.”
