House Considers Rep. Santos Expulsion Resolution And Censures Against Reps. Greene And Tlaib

Saturday Night Live poked fun at George Santos after Congress voted to expel him from the House of Representatives on Friday. It is the sixth time in U.S. history that Congress has done so. That decision comes after the Department of Justice charged him with a total of 23 felonies in New York. The charges include fraud and campaign finance violations. Additionally, Elon Musk and Melania Trump caught strays during the broadcast.

“This week we said goodbye to a former First Lady, a former secretary of state, and the Supreme Court’s first female justice,” co-host Colin Jost told the crowd, referring to Rosalynn Carter, Henry Kissinger, and Sandra Day O’Connor. He joked: "And a guy who claims to be all three of those things," as a picture of Santos came on screen. Jost then noted that Congress voted to expel Santos “by a vote of 114 Shantay You Stays to 311 Sashay Aways.”
