WASHINGTON, DC: Today, Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (VA-02) released the below statement on her vote to expel Congressman George Santos (NY-03) from the U.S. House of Representatives following a report from the Ethics Committee detailing numerous illegal acts and other wrongdoings:
“I previously withheld judgement on the serious allegations against Congressman Santos and twice voted to provide him with due process as the House Ethics Committee continued its investigation. However, after reviewing the Committee’s November 17th report, I believe Mr. Santos is unfit to hold Congressional Office.
“We must have the highest standards of behavior and ethics in the U.S House of Representatives and hold people to them. Unfortunately, Congressman Stantos has not met those standards.
“Americans’ trust in their elected officials is at an all-time low. During my time in the Navy, I embraced the organization’s values of honor, courage, and commitment. The people of Virginia’s Second District deserve nothing less from their Member of Congress, and I will continue to embody these values in Washington. I will continue to demand the same from my colleagues in Congress as well – no matter which side of the aisle they are on. All Members of Congress have a responsibility to maintain the integrity of our government institutions.”
Paul Plante, VN 1969 says
KIGGANS: “We must have the highest standards of behavior and ethics in the U.S House of Representatives and hold people to them.”
ME: When is NANCY Pelosi going to get the boot then, and a lot more should go out the door when she goes!
The so-called house of representatives, who don’t represent us, is more a menagerie than anything else.
Should properly be called the house of idiots, frauds, and fools.
KIGGANS: “Americans’ trust in their elected officials is at an all-time low.
ME: DAMN RIGHT about that, and it is they have earned our contempt and opprobrium, because that is all they are worthy of, feeding off the taxpayers like boll weevils in a cotton patch or rats in a farmer’s corn crib, getting their pockets stuffed and their palms greased so that “public service” is now a lucrative enterprise for someone with no moral compass to get engaged in.
Raymond Otton says
Standards? Don’t make us laugh.
Here’s a list of (D)’s with serious breaches of conduct who haven’t gotten more than a slap on the wrist:
-Organizing a riot supporting a Hamas terrorist at Capitol Hill.
-Engaging in a relationship with a Chinese spy.
-Marrying a brother for visa fraud.
-Accusations of insider trading.
-Domestic violence against a spouse.
-Domestic violence against a girlfriend.
-Engaging in illegal and fraudulent campaign financing.
-Leaking confidential tax information.
-Disruption of an official proceeding by triggering a fire alarm.
Until she stands for universal adherence to the laws and rules of our country, she will be considered a RINO by a majority of constituents and there’s a good chance she ends up a one term wonder.
Bill Smith says
Yes. More meaymouthed BS from our so called “representatives” (wannabe masters) in that cesspool called Washington D.C. Our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves.
