GET ME REWRITE: Wisconsin's Mike Gallagher in pearl-clutching mode over George Santos expulsion from Congress

 

Headline:  WLUK, 12/1/2023

"The allegations against George Santos are extremely serious and unbefitting a member of Congress. I am glad he is not running for re-election and think he should resign from office," Gallagher said in a statement Friday. 

"But Congress has never before expelled a member in the absence of a felony conviction or disloyalty to the United States. By continually breaking precedents, this Congress is opening up a pandora’s box of perpetual expulsions and chaos. On the current path, Congress is devolving into a green room for cable news shows and social media stardom. The best way to fix this is to simply focus on our committee work and let the voters decide who gets to serve in Congress."
