'Bye George!': Social media doesn't hold back as Santos gets the boot

George Santos finally lost his seat in Congress Friday — and social media did not hold back.

In a 311-114 vote, the embattled Republican was expelled from the House following an ethics report that detailed a long list of violations.

X exploded with reaction almost immediately.

Liberal/progressive economist Robert Reich tweeted, "George Santos may be gone from Congress, but a majority of Republicans voted against expelling him — including the entire House GOP leadership. The Republican Party once again showed that it doesn't really care about ethics or the law, only power."

Tweeting video of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) being interviewed by Fox News, MeidasTouch posted, "Important reminder: When Kevin McCarthy was Speaker, he told Fox he wished that George Santos had more power than President Biden."

Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director of New York Campaign for Health, commented, "And with George Santos expelled from Congress, so concludes the year long lesson on why candidates should do opposition research and run background checks on their opponents."

Podcast host Brian J. Karem tweeted, "George Santos is expelled from the House. Bye George! Happy Friday!"

Sex columnist Dan Savage is not sorry to see Santos go. Savage — who, like the former congressman, is openly gay — has been vehemently critical of him for allying himself with anti-gay Republicans.

Savage tweeted, "Fun fact: I called George Santos a dumb f—-- on my podcast in 2019 and he threatened to sue me. Back then, he was just a gay Trump supporter that I had no respect for. Now, he's such a perfect distillation of our political moment that I can't help but admire him."
