Just weeks after winning his congressional race in the November midterms, newly elected NY Rep. George Santos admitted to lying about key details of his personal life and professional history. He has apologized for having “embellished” his resume but denies committing any crimes. Earlier this week, House Speaker McCarthy said, "You know why I’m standing by him? Because his constituents voted for him.” The Speaker said Santos would only be removed from the House if its ethics committee determined that he broke the law. Today in class, we e discussed if this is an acceptable response.
