'The American people expect their elected representatives to hold their colleagues to a higher ethical standard and punish those who violate the public's trust,' said Stand Up America's Brett Edkins.
The progressive advocacy group Stand Up American on Wednesday blasted Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives for declining to expel GOP Congressman George Santos of New York, a serial liar who has been indicted on 13 federal charges. 'House Republicans have once again demonstrated their moral bankruptcy by shielding a deceitful and indicted fraudster in their ranks,' declared Stand Up America managing director of policy and political affairs Brett Edkins.
We will continue to hold him and those who protect him accountable for his fraud and lies,' Garcia tweeted Wednesday, adding that 'the House Republicans are now officially the SAVE SANTOS CAUCUS.' According to The Washington Post: Santos said that if the Ethics Committee finds a reason to remove him, 'that is the process.' In March, the Ethics Committee voted to create a bipartisan subcommittee to investigate claims about Santos.
