Democrat Tom Suozzi has won the New York special election to the U.S. House, according to an AP race call. Suozzi will serve out the remainder of the term for former GOP Rep. George Santos, who was expelled from the House last year.

    This is the exact reason repubs were so hesitant to sanction Santos for so long. The shit had to become totally egregious before they took action because their majority was so slim. This is the worst outcome for them.

    Had he been a dem, they would have been trying to kick him out from the first negative publication. And MTG would have held up photos of his dick.

      This really highlights the difference between the parties, because if Santos had been a Democrat and the same shit had come out about him, Democrats would have been calling for his expulsion before any Republicans would have needed to.

        I still maintain that Franken should have stuck around, cause fuck those fascists. They’re not playing by any fair rules so trying to take the high road is useless.
