Boebert Calls for Expulsion of Rep. Bowman After Santos Ouster, Citing His Misdemeanor Plea
• Representative Lauren Boebert called for Representative Jamaal Bowman to be expelled from the House after George Santos was removed • Boebert argued Bowman should be expelled since he pled guilty to a misdemeanor while Santos has not been convicted • Bowman admitted to falsely pulling a fire alarm in the Capitol building during a vote to avert a shutdown • Some Republicans have criticized Bowman and called for his expulsion, but legal experts warn it could set a "dangerous precedent" • Santos was expelled for fabrications about his life and background and for defrauding donors, but maintains his innocence
