In an interview with the New York Post on Monday, Santos confessed that he"never worked directly" for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, suggesting that he probably could have used a better choice of words. Santos also told the Post he never graduated from college, despite his campaign resume that said he received a degree in 2010 from Baruch.
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said Santos should be"banned from taking the oath for Congress." His fellow California Democrat, Rep. Ted Lieu, said McCarthy should call for a vote to expel Santos in the next Congress, assuming that the Republican leader is elected speaker of the House in the new GOP majority.
New York Congressman Ritchie Torres went further, suggesting that Santos committed crimes by lying to voters.
