Fetterman calls for Menendez ouster, says actions ‘more sinister’ than Santos

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) renewed his call Friday for the Senate to vote to expel Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), calling the criminal allegations against the New Jersey lawmaker “more sinister” than the charges facing Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who was just expelled from the House.  

Fetterman called on Senate colleagues to oust Menendez after host Joy Behar asked him about Santos’s expulsion during an interview on ABC’s “The View.” 

“We have a colleague in the Senate that actually does much more sinister and serious kinds of things: Sen. Menendez. He needs to go. And if you are going to expel Santos, how can you allow somebody like Menendez to remain in the Senate?” Fetterman said.
