Leaders of the Nassau County Republican Party called for Rep. George Santos to resign from office over fabrications about his personal life.
New York Republicans called on Rep. George Santos to resign following revelations that he fabricated or embellished much of his background while running for Congress last year.Leaving his office Thursday morning, Rep. George Santos wouldn't answer questions about his reaction to his Republican colleagues calling for his resignation but did tell reporters, "If 142 people ask for me to resign, I'll resign."This is a breaking news update.
"He deceived voters," Cairo said. "His lies were not mere fibs. He disgraced the House of Representatives. ... He's not welcome here at Republican headquarters."Cairo was joined by a slate of local party officials and, remotely from Washington, DC, Republican Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, who also called for Santos to step down. D'Esposito was joined later Wednesday in calling for Santos' resignation by four more in the House GOP: New York Reps.
A source close to House GOP leadership said the calls from the county GOP will not have any bearing on their decision regarding Santos' political future. "People were not knocking down the door to run," given Suozzi's strength, Cairo said. Two years later, a late court order to redraw gerrymandered district lines limited the county party's options, he added.
