Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) called for Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) to resign on Thursday, joining a small group of House Republicans who have urged the scandal-ridden lawmaker to step aside.
“I believe voters have the right to hold government officials to the very highest standard of honesty and trustworthiness,” Miller said in a statement, first reported by Cleveland.com. “The people’s representatives must respect the need for transparency and candor with Americans. It is not okay to fabricate or lie for political gain.”
The calls for Santos’s resignation come in the wake of revelations that the first-term lawmaker lied about much of his resume on the campaign trail and the emergence of further concerns about his finances.
