GOP Expelled Santos, Dems Stick With Schiff and Swalwell
Santos was expelled essentially for lying on his resume. He made false claims about his academic achievements (plagiarized Biden?) and his work experience, a phantom job at Goldman Sachs, not always considered a political winner. He didn’t commit treason, murder, or child pornography. He was never tried and convicted. Yet his expulsion reflected a standard of morality that is not universally shared in Washington. To wit:
Elizabeth Warren lied on her resume claiming Native American ancestry. This opened a lot more doors than a fictitious tour at Goldman Sachs. But she’s still in the Seante.
Adam Schiff was outed lying frequently about important matters of state. He never apologized, never explained, and was never expelled.
Eric Swalwell succumbed to yellow fever and slept with an admittedly irresistible Chinese spy. Yet Nancy Pelosi didn’t even kick him off the House Intelligence Committee, let alone call for his expulsion.
Senator Menendez has been credibly accused of assisting a constituent and foreign government in exchange for large sums of money and, hedging the dollar’s demise, some gold bars. Yet so far nary a word about removal except from Senator Fetterman, the emerging court jester of the Democratic Party.
So what’s the difference between Santos and the others named above? Obvious; Santos is a Republican, the party that tossed President Nixon; the others are Democrats, the party circling the wagons around Joe Biden.
