House Democrats are launching their latest attacks against vulnerable Republicans in New York, seeking to tie a group of freshman lawmakers to one of the party’s greatest perceived liabilities: Rep. George Santos (R-NY).
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee aired a new video on Thursday targeting five freshman lawmakers they accuse of protecting Santos earlier this year by voting against his expulsion in the House. The ad specifically calls out Reps. Mike Lawler, Anthony D’Esposito, Brandon Williams, Marc Molinaro, and Nick LaLota.
Since being sworn into office at the beginning of this year, Santos has attracted controversy for embellishing several elements of his life story while on the campaign trail. Among the statements that have come under scrutiny are Santos's claims of Jewish heritage and that his mother was at the World Trade Center on 9/11.
House Democrats sought to oust Santos from office through an expulsion vote in mid-May, but that effort failed after House Republicans put forward a motion to refer the matter to the Ethics Committee, which needed only a simple majority to pass. No Republicans voted against the motion, allowing the measure to advance.
