0:50Now PlayingThe job at Goldman Sachs he never had. The college degrees he never got. Even the volleyball team he never played on. A year after George Santos was elected to US Congress — and was promptly revealed to be a serial fabulist, possibly worse — his colleagues finally did on Friday what so many had been urging for nearly a year: They kicked him out.
The only real surprise was that it took so long. The House voted 311-114 to remove Santos, surpassing the two-thirds majority required by the Constitution to oust a member of Congress.
