Rep. George Santos just got booted from Congress … after the House voted to expel him following a controversial time in office, which includes multiple felony charges.
Santos is the first member of Congress not convicted of a felony to be expelled since the Civil War. Only 6 members have been expelled in U.S. history.

The vote to expel Santos was 311 – 114. Among those voting to expel … 105 Republicans.
A defiant Santos refused to resign Thursday before Friday’s vote … but he’s out of Congress now nonetheless.
Remember … Santos was arrested back in May on a variety of felony charges, including lying, wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and making false statements to the House of Representatives.
