You know, no matter what you think about New York Republican Congressman George Santos

and I gotta tell you, personally, I don't think very highly of the man

I believe he's as guilty as sin itself. I think the evidence shows it, but that's not the point

Democrats want him to resign right now, while Bob Menendez is still serving in the Senate

while Ilhan Omar is still serving in the House of Representatives, while Rashida Tlaib is

still serving in the House of Representatives. They want George Santos to resign right now, during an investigation

This man has not been proven guilty in a court of law. He is entitled to the same due process as everybody else, but Republicans were jumping

on board with this. They were like, hey, yeah, let's run him out of town. And then, then something interesting happened

Speaker Mike Johnson stepped in and he just gave Republicans, today, a dose of reality

And when he spoke to the press, he let the press know exactly what that dose of reality was

Let's take a look. I'll say this

We had a Republican conference meeting in the last hour. There were opinions shared on both sides

I'll answer it this way, Manu. Listen, I said that the Republican Party is the rule of law team, and we are

We believe in the rule of law. There are people of good faith who make an argument, both pro and con, for the expulsion

resolution for Santos. There are people who say, you have to uphold the rule of law and allow for someone to be

convicted in a criminal court before this tough penalty would be exacted on someone

That's been the precedent so far. There are others who say, well, upholding the rule of law requires us to take this step

now because some of the things that he's alleged to have done, the House Ethics Committee

having done their job, are infractions against the House itself. And so what we've said as a leadership team is we're going to allow people to vote their conscience

I think it's the only appropriate thing we can do. We've not whipped the vote, and we wouldn't

I trust that people will make that decision thoughtfully and in good faith

I personally have real reservations about doing this. I'm concerned about a precedent that may be set for that

So everybody's working through that, and we'll see how they vote tomorrow

Front row and now go here. Speaker Johnson nailed it. Listen, no matter what you think of this guy, even if you think he's guilty, he deserves

the same due process that everybody who has been accused in the House of Representatives

and a lot of them get accused of a lot of things, has had in the past

What makes George Santos so special other than he's a gay Republican, which is very

dangerous for Democrats because they like to keep their constituencies in check

A gay Republican, not great news for Democrats. Now, again, do I think George Santos is the best representative of gay Republicans

Absolutely not. Do I think he's probably guilty? Yes. Do I think that when he's found guilty, if he's found guilty, he should be out of Congress? Absolutely

But that hasn't happened yet. And he is an American, and he is entitled to the same due process as anybody else

And that means he shouldn't have to resign, and he shouldn't be kicked out. I want to know what you guys think about this

Very controversial topic. I want your opinions. Please let me know in the comments
