LIAR AND A COWARD: Molinaro Votes to Protect Santos After Previously Supporting Expulsion

Despite Rep. Marc Molinaro's previous alleged support for expelling George Santos from Congress, today, Molinaro cowered in the face of his radical GOP bosses and instead protected George Santos from being expelled once it came time to vote.

LET'S BE CLEAR: Despite Molinaro's misleading statements, his vote to refer the expulsion resolution to the House Ethics Committee - which is already investigating George Santos - is nothing more than a vote to secure George Santos' undeserved place in office and rob Long Island workers and families in Santos' district of real representation.

His vote today stands in stark contrast to what he previously told New York voters, and this massive hypocrisy proves voters can't trust him.

New York voters want Santos removed, but the increasingly vulnerable Republican would rather secure Santos' loyal vote for the GOP's dangerous agenda than actually respect the will of New Yorkers.

DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
"Congressman Marc Molinaro has done a pathetic 180 on supporting George Santos and is now trying to mislead New Yorkers to make up for his cowardice. New Yorkers deserve better representation than Molinaro, who will lie about doing what's right and try to trick his own voters in the process."
