George Santos is expelled. Some are concerned that he was banished without a trial, before his day in court and a decision on guilt or innocence. But he was a hindrance, an embarrassment, a black eye that had to be dealt with, somehow. And sooner than later.
A farce, as one paper put it.
Finding a new candidate for his district should be a raucous affair. How could governance be treated with such an abandonment of good judgment? What the hell did we just witness? How did he manage to win in the first place? What does this say about the electorate? Because it seems many got duped.
I guess it’s not the first time this dynamic has loomed large, though. It happened in 2016, too, and we’re still paying for that one.
