New York Republicans speak out against George Santos' lies, call for investigation
Fox News
Embattled GOP Congressman-elect George Santos was condemned by fellow New York Republicans Nick LaLota and Anthony D'Esposito for lying about his background, with one calling for a House Ethics investigation.
"As a Navy man who campaigned on restoring accountability and integrity to our government, I believe a full investigation by the House Ethics Committee and, if necessary, law enforcement, is required," LaLota said. "New Yorkers deserve the truth and House Republicans deserve an opportunity to govern without this distraction." Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital.
