Several GOP lawmakers who voted to expel George Santos told Politico they stand by their votes.
Last week, Democrat Tom Suozzi flipped Santos' former seat in a House special election.
And even though Suozzi flipped the seat blue, the Republicans who backed Santos' ouster said they continue to stand behind their votes.
Advertisement"I didn't shrink the Republican majority — George Santos shrunk it by his actions," Lawler told the outlet.
Santos has criticized the New York Republicans who voted to remove him from Congress.
