Williams Cowers, Votes to Protect Santos From Expulsion

After months of meaningless rhetoric, Brandon Williams is coddling his criminal campaign donor with vote to keep Santos in Congress

Despite Rep. Brandon Williams making clear that Santos is unfit to remain in Congress, today, Williams 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: Despite Williams’ contradictory statements, his 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 New York voters, and this massive hypocrisy proves voters can’t trust him.

New York voters want Santos removed, but the increasingly vulnerable Republican would rather secure Santos’ loyal vote for the GOP’s dangerous agenda than actually respect the will of New Yorkers.

DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“Brandon Williams said George Santos is a ‘stain on the soul of our nation’ who ‘disgraces’ Congress, yet Williams still voted today to protect him. His clear cowardice in the face of real action proves to central New Yorkers Williams is all talk and can’t be trusted to do what’s right. ”
