Two New York Republican lawmakers — US Reps. Marc Molinaro and Mike Lawler — told CNN on Thursday morning they don’t believe Santos can serve his district effectively.
Rep. George Santos, the recently elected GOP congressman from New York who has admitted to lying about parts of his resume, is facing escalating backlash from his own party as a growing number of House Republican lawmakers call for him to resign or say he can’t serve effectively even as Speaker Kevin McCarthy has stood by the embattled congressman. Santos has so far been defiant, pushing back on calls for his resignation – and House GOP leadership has not called on him to do so.
Santos is facing a growing chorus of GOP lawmakers who have raised questions about the congressman’s ability to serve or have called for him to resign as new revelations come out about his past. On Wednesday, however, McCarthy said he would not join New York Republican leaders and others who have demanded Santos’ immediate resignation, saying it’s up to voters to decide.
