U.S. House of Representatives sworn in amid new concerns about Republican George Santos
Washington, January 10 (RHC)-- The U.S. House of Representatives was finally able to swear in lawmakers after a delay in voting for a new Speaker of the House. They included New York Republican George Santos, who is being investigated over his finances and for completely fabricating large portions of his résumé and his life history.
Before taking his oath of office, Santos was seen making a hand gesture that many have called out as a white supremacist symbol during the 10th round of voting for speaker.
New York Democrat Jamaal Bowman tweeted, “We’ve all been laughing at Santos for lying his way to Congress. This time it ain’t funny. He and every other white supremacist in Congress needs to be expelled immediately.”
