Rep. George Santos (R-NY), who has refused to resign from Congress amid a second round of federal indictments, took to X on Wednesday to attack the handful of Republicans who introduced a resolution to expel him from the House of Representatives — and warn that he could ruin their careers over it.
"I look very much forward to seeing the anti American attempt by WEAK RINO’s to oust me without giving me my right to Due process," wrote Santos, who soon after being elected was exposed for having lied about almost every aspect of his personal background from his education to his work history. "Remember if I’m in fact ousted fascism will officially be well and alive in the United States of America and these members will be the champions of it."
"I do want to remind my dear colleagues who all but one have deep long troubling careers in politics that I will have a lot of time on my hands to return the favor in the most expedient fashion mankind has ever seen," he continued. "I’m done with the hypocrisy and the projection coming from the same individuals for the last 10 months! #PolitcalWarfare does not scare me, I find my strength in God and with him in my life all is possible."

Santos was already indicted earlier this year on charges that he misrepresented how he was spending donors' money, fraudulently obtained public unemployment benefits, and lied to Congress.
The new, 23-count indictment dropped this week, following a guilty plea from his former campaign treasurer, alleges that he illegally accessed donors' credit cards to make personal purchases for himself.
Santos has denied all wrongdoing and categorically refused all calls from both parties to resign, insisting he will run for re-election.
