MAGA makeover queen Elise Stefanik continues to stand with George Santos, votes 'nay' on expulsion

 
Leadership from the chair of the House Republican Conference.  

7 of the 11 members of New York's GOP delegation to the House of Representatives voted to expel Santos.  Stefanik did not.

A slow learner:
Stefanik was a key validator for Santos in their shared home state and often touted the candidate in public and private forums. Several prominent GOP donors told CNN that they gave to Santos, who was largely unknown to them, because Stefanik, the state’s most influential elected Republican and a prolific fundraiser, backed him. 
“I would have never donated without Elise,” said Ken Salamone, who gave $5,800 to Santos’ campaign and more than $20,000 to his joint fundraising committee, after Stefanik’s team reached out on his behalf. “I assumed she did her homework. I always do my homework and didn’t. Shame on me.”
