Suozzi wrote in an editorial for The New York Times that Santos “must be removed by Congress or by prosecutors, because there is no indication that he will be moved by conscience to voluntarily resign.”
Rep. Thomas Suozzi , whose New York seat was won by Rep.-elect George Santos in November,that he was being “succeeded by a con man” amid rising controversy about Santos’s credentials.
Suozzi, who currently represents New York’s 3rd Congressional District and will be leaving Congress after he forgoed reelection to run for governor, wrote in an editorial for The New York Times that Santos “must be removed by Congress or by prosecutors, because there is no indication that he will be moved by conscience to voluntarily resign.”
“Sure, some candidates say and do anything to get into office and then abuse the public trust. In Mr. Santos, we have someone who abused the public trust even before he got into office; it’s mind-boggling to think what his actions and conversations will be like in Congress on behalf of his constituents,” Suozzi wrote in the Times.
later in December, and a prosecutor in New York, who is a Republican, later announced she would be opening an investigation into Santos. It’s unclear if Santos will resign, though many, including Suozzi, have called on him to step down. House GOP leadership has largely remained silent about the controversy given the slim Republican majority in the House and Santos’s expressed support for a Speakership vote for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy .
