The New York Republican, fabulist and accused fraudster George Santos said he would not resign in order to avoid becoming only the sixth representative ever expelled from the US House.

“If I resign, I make it easy for this place,” Santos, 35, told reporters. “This place is run on hypocrisy. I’m done playing a part for the circus. If they want me to leave Congress, they’re going to have to take that tough vote.”
