Washington DC – Following the explosive bipartisan report released today by the House Ethics Committee, Rahna Epting, executive director of political action at MoveOn issued the following statement:
“I can’t believe we have to say this, but a member of Congress has no business using campaign funds to pay for Botox treatments and lavish trips to Atlantic City. What else do you need to know? Kick out George Santos. The people of New York’s 3rd District deserve real representation, not a lying legislator who cheats the system at every opportunity for his own gain.
For months, MoveOn and its members have been calling for Santos’ resignation or expulsion. More than 154,000 members and counting have signed a petition to stand down in the face of his endemic lies and corruption.
