The news around George Santos seems to be getting worse, like outright criminality worse. It feels very similar to Trump running a vanity campaign, actually winning and then having all that criming brought to light.
Back in 2020, Kevin McCarthy actually signed off on denying Marjorie Traitor Greene her committee assignments, because she was seen - rightly - as a QAnon nutjob. Now, she's an important ally and the idea that the GOP would expel an actual criminal from their caucus is rightly seen as absurd.
Maybe Santos gets arrested and that forces the GOP to expel him, but I doubt it. Recall that Al Franken and some Congresswoman I'm forgetting resigned over somewhat mild but very real improprieties. Republicans almost never do. Some would frame this as Democrats having no spine, but it really demonstrates which party has a moral backbone.
