AP’s Julie Pace on Rep. Santos: The Body of Evidence Against Him Became Overwhelming

‘For the other half of the Republican Party this just became untenable’

EXCERPT:

PACE: “That’s I think one of the main motivators for keeping him in, which with him leaving, that majority would shrink even further. But I think for the other half of the Republican Party, this just became untenable. There were no significant grounds to defend him on, particularly after we saw that ethics report a few weeks ago. Now, Santos is, of course, correct, he has not been convicted in court, but the body of evidence against him had just become overwhelming.”
