House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday that Santos could face disciplinary action if found guilty of ethics violations. Though a spokesperson for McCarthy said the ethics committee has yet to open its investigation. The constituents Santos has angered don't believe he can still function as a House member with the allegations piling up.
"Who in Congress would touch him?" said Ben Marzouk, a constituent."Who would want to stand next to him? Who would want to be part of his circle?"
