Chairman Jay S. Jacobs Releases Statement Urging GOP Reps. To Force Floor Vote on Santos' Expulsion From Congress

New York, NY - "It is unacceptable and unconscionable that Kevin McCarthy allowed George Santos to receive a classified briefing on China today. George Santos is a legitimate and objective security concern as described by the Director of National Intelligence’s Adjudicative Guidelines concerning personal conduct, financial considerations, psychological conditions, and criminal conduct.

Kevin McCarthy must allow a floor vote on the bill cosponsored by Representatives Goldman and Torres to expel Santos from Congress. If McCarthy blocks this measure from being considered, then every GOP Rep. from NY who has called on Santos to resign has an obligation to make a motion to vacate the chair. If these New York Republicans fail to act, then they are placing their party over country and failing their constituents, thereby endangering the security of our nation."

Chairman Jay S. Jacobs Releases Statement on New York Young Republican Gala

New York, NY - "Why was George Santos a prominent guest this past Saturday at a New York Republican “Iconic Event” that featured members of a far-right Austrian neo-Nazi group; a conspiracy theorist who, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center has “demonstrable ties to Neo-Nazis”; a Congresswoman who believes 9/11 was perpetrated by George W. Bush, and forest fires were started by Jewish “space lasers”; and a man who ran a website that featured articles entitled “Bill Kristol: Republican Soldier, Renegade Jew” and “Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy”?

It was bad enough that Gavin Wax and the New York Republicans hosted these dangerous and fringe figures from around the country in Manhattan; what’s worse is that Marjorie Tylor Greene claimed that she would have been able to violently overthrow the United States Government had she led the January 6th Insurrection. That is sedition.

Chairman Jacobs Hopes NY Republicans Remain Steadfast in Disavowing Donald Trump

"In a surprise to absolutely no one, the most inept, hateful, and divisive President in American history has announced his intention to run for President in 2024.  Throughout the last year, a majority of NY Republicans have either publicly repudiated or disassociated themselves from the same person, who:  mocked a reporter with physical limitations; bragged about personal misogynistic tendencies; labeled Hispanic and Muslim countries as ‘s***-h***s; categorized those participating in a White Supremacy rally as “good people”; ominously stated that American Jews need to “get their act together” before “it is too late”; implicitly blamed COVID on Asian Americans by referring to it as the “Kung-Flu”; and classified Black District Attorneys as ‘racist’ for having the audacity to uphold the rule of law.  There is an abundance of data that demonstrates this vile rhetoric had tragic, real-life consequences.  The starkest statistic: Counties that held a Trump rally in 2016 saw a 226% increase in hate crimes.

For the sake of our State and Country, it is our hope these same NY Republican officials remain steadfast in disavowing such a derogatory and derisive man who is culpable for inflicting so much pain on so many.  As the saying goes “Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me”.
