George Santos in congress
Rep. George Santos waits for the start of a session in the House chamber.
  • Rep. Robert Garcia and six other House Democrats want to boot George Santos from Congress.
  • The California Democrat pointed to the myriad embellishments and lies Santos has been caught up in.
  • It's a long shot: It's been decades since the House expelled anyone, and it requires 2/3rds support.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California is leading a small group of fellow House Democrats in pushing for the chamber to expel Republican Rep. George Santos from Congress amid a litany of scandals.

The long-shot effort underlines the degree to which some of Santos' colleagues have a visceral disdain for his continuing presence in Congress.
