This is why, when George Santos was found to be lying, the argument that there's no need to expel him from Congress because people will unelect him is bullshit. George Santos ran on being a completely different person than he turned out to be and so completely misrepresented himself. This is very much what what's her face OP posted did. Waiting until the next election cycle for that position doesn't really do the Justice needed, does it?
