Republicans Rue Ousting George Santos After Losing His Seat
- Several Republicans regret booting George Santos after the GOP lost his vacant seat in a special election
- "It was a big mistake," said Rep. Troy Nehls, referring to the decision to oust Santos over his lies
- A Republican told Axios "Santos was a solid vote for the conservative voice and we kicked him out"
- Rep. Mark Alford said those who expelled Santos may be "having second thoughts" about the "repercussions"
- Some Republicans stood by the decision, like Rep. Carlos Gimenez, who said he has "absolutely no regrets" despite the slimmer majority
