New York state Republican Party chairman Ed Cox led the charge Wednesday in calling on serial lying Long Island GOP Rep. George Santos to resign following a bombshell criminal indictment of the congressman.
“Santos should resign. He should have been gone a long time ago,” Cox told The Post minutes after Breon Peace, US attorney for the Eastern District, accused Santos of massive financial fraud.
Cox said Nassau County GOP chairman Joe Cairo was correct when he called on Santos to step down in January for repeatedly lying to voters about his biography.
Santos confessed many of his fibs to The Post.
If Santos refuses to resign and runs for re-election before his case is resolved next year, the Republican Party will nominate someone else in the 3rd Congressional District covering Nassau County and eastern Queens and defeat him in the primary, Cox said.
“I have no doubt Santos will be replaced in due course with a good Republican candidate.
