The Facts
Republican Rep. George Santos (NY-03) pleaded not guilty on Friday to 10 additional federal charges added to his ongoing federal theft and money laundering case.
Santos is accused of identity theft and using his donors' credit cards "without their authorization" to transfer campaign money to his personal bank account.
The Spin
Democratic narrative
Santos' plethora of lies and his ever-growing legal issues show how unfit he is to serve in Congress. Republicans need to vote him out so this ridiculous and unprofessional saga can finally end.
Republican narrative
Santos has denied all wrongdoing and should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. He is entitled to due process, and his fellow lawmakers shouldn't try to oust him prematurely.
