George Santos is expelled from Congress in a historic vote.
Representative George Santos, the New York Republican whose tapestry of lies and schemes made him a figure of national ridicule and the subject of a 23-count federal indictment, was expelled from Congress on Friday after a bipartisan vote by his peers.

The move consigned Mr. Santos, who over the course of his short political career invented ties to the Holocaust, Sept. 11 and the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, to a genuine place in history: He is the first person to be expelled from the House without first being convicted of a federal crime or supporting the Confederacy.

I'm trying to find a scammy way to say here comes the Netflix doc but the synapses aren't firing.

How do we know he didn't fight in the Confederate Army?

Now the challenge begins: finding someone on Long Island who is actually suited to serve in Congress
