Dozens of George Santos’s constituents call for his resignation at US Capitol

Move follows weeks of outrage amid revelations the Republican New York lawmaker fabricated large portions of his résumé

Dozens of George Santos’ constituents traveled from their New York district to the Capitol on Tuesday to call for the congressman to resign. The move follows weeks of outrage at the revelations that the Republican lawmaker fabricated large portions of his résumé in his successful quest for office.

“On behalf of Concerned Citizens of NY-03, why are we here? Why did we come to Washington? We are here because speaker McCarthy apparently cannot hear us when we speak from Long Island, so we had to come to Washington to make sure he hears us,” said Jody Kass Finkel, coordinator of the pressure group created in the past weeks with the sole goal of getting Santos “removed from squatting in our seat in the House of Representatives”.
