Embattled Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., escaped being expelled<\/a> from the House of Representatives Wednesday night after a group of his fellow New York Republicans spearheaded an effort to boot him.<\/p>\n

The final vote fell 213-179 against expelling Santos, with 19 lawmakers voting “present.” Expelling a member of the House, something that is historically rare, requires a vote of two-thirds of all members present.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two dozen Republicans voted to expel Santos, while 31 Democrats<\/a> voted to keep him in the House.<\/p>\n

“There’s more Democrats in this body that believe in the rule of law than there are Republicans. That’s what you should know,” Santos told reporters after the vote.<\/p>\n

“I am fighting to clear my name. I am fighting for due process.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The New York Republicans who led the expulsion effort were Anthony D’Esposito, Nick LaLota and Mike Lawler.<\/p>\n

Santos spoke in his own defense earlier on the House floor, accusing the Republicans who moved against him of playing “judge, jury and executioner.”<\/p>\n

“Efforts taken by other members in this body to act as jury and executioner are unconscionable and reckless to our Republican system of government<\/a> and to the integrity of this body,” Santos said.<\/p>\n

“I stand today to continue to prove my innocence of these allegations and charges leveled against me. I’d like to say I understand the point of view of my colleagues, but I don’t. One can’t say that they are pro-Constitution and at the same time act as judge, jury and executioner. Where is the consistency?”<\/p>\n

Santos was the only member of Congress<\/a> to speak in his defense during debate ahead of the resolution.<\/p>\n

The scandal-plagued Republican<\/a> was charged with conspiracy, <\/strong>wire fraud, making false statements, falsification of records, aggravated identity theft and credit card fraud last month. He faces a total of 23 charges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
