Republicans in New York on Jan. 11 called for Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) to step down.

“George Santos’s campaign last year was a campaign of deceit, lies, and fabrication,” Joseph Cairo, the chairman of the Nassau County GOP, told a press conference. “He deceived the voters of the 3rd Congressional District, he deceived the members of the Nassau County Republican Committee, elected officials, his colleagues, candidates, his opponents, and even some of the media.”
