Former Rep. George Santos criticized two Democratic members of Congress over a recent indictment filed by the Department of Justice against Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX). Cuellar and his wife were indicted on charges of accepting bribes from foreign entities, including the government of Azerbaijan and a Mexican bank. Santos took the opportunity to question whether House members would introduce expulsion resolutions for Cuellar, referencing a previous resolution aimed at him. Santos called out Rep. Robert Garcia and Rep. Ritchie Torres on social media, questioning their actions regarding Cuellar. Torres had previously proposed a rule to restrict former members’ access to the House floor, following Santos’ surprise appearance at President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. Rep. Dean Phillips became the first Democrat to publicly call for Cuellar’s resignation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining trust in government officials. Cuellar denied any wrongdoing and stated his commitment to serving his constituents. The Truth Voices sought responses from Torres and Garcia regarding the situation.
