House Speaker Kevin McCarthy declared Monday that he will not support lying Long Island Rep. George Santos’ bid for re-election following his indictment last month on fraud charges.
McCarthy (R-Calif.), laughed when asked by Fox News host Brian Kilmeade if he is “a part” of the embattled New York Republican’s re-election campaign.
“No, I am not. He shouldn’t run for re-election,” the House speaker declared.
Santos, 34, has pleaded not guilty to 13 criminal counts, including embezzling $50,000 in campaign money for personal expenses, misrepresenting himself to donors, lying to Congress about his income and cheating to obtain COVID unemployment funds.
