Rep. George Santos (R-NY) moved on Thursday to force a House vote to expel Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) for pulling a fire alarm in a congressional office building as Santos himself faces an expulsion vote this week. Santos filed his resolution as “privileged‚” compelling the chamber to act within two legislative days‚ though Santos may already be removed from the House by that deadline and there does not appear to be a sufficient number of members willing to remove Bowman from office. During his remarks on the House floor‚ Santos placed emphasis on the fact that Bowman took a plea deal on a misdemeanor count of falsely pulling a fire alarm that resulted in a temporary evacuation of the Cannon House Office Building in late September ahead of a government spending vote. By contrast‚ Santos has not been convicted of any crimes‚ but he does face 23 federal charges —  including aggravated identity theft‚ wire fraud‚ and conspiracy — to which the congressman has pleaded not guilty. In a press conference earlier in the day‚ Santos warned that removing members from office on “mere allegations” will “haunt” many other elected officials. Rep. George Santos (R-NY) says he’s going to introduce a privileged resolution today to expel Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) for pulling a Capitol fire alarm. “That’s consistency. Let’s hold our own accountable‚ but let’s make sure we do it with the precedent of the House.” pic.twitter.com/asmUitLoWf — The Recount (@therecount) November 30‚ 2023 This week‚ Democrats and Republicans brought forward “privileged” resolutions to expel Santos after the release of a House Ethics Committee report that laid out “substantial evidence” of multiple types of violations of House rules and criminal laws. The GOP-led House is expected to vote on expelling Santos as early as Friday after debate on Thursday. While Santos criticized the ethics inquiry as a political “smear‚” the congressman announced after the report’s release that he would not seek re-election. In remarks on Tuesday‚ Santos declared that he would not resign and said a vote to expel him “sets a very dangerous precedent” when it comes to due process. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Expulsion from the House requires a two-thirds majority vote to succeed. It has only happened a handful of times throughout U.S. history. Two expelled members were convicted of crimes‚ while three others were kicked out in 1861 for backing the Confederacy. Bumping Santos from the House would mean Republicans‚ who have a narrow majority in the chamber‚ would need to brace for the possibility of a Democrat winning a special election to replace Santos in his Long Island district. Unlike with Santos‚ the House Ethics Committee declined to open an investigation into Bowman. Bowman released a statement on Thursday saying‚ “No one in Congress‚ or anywhere in America‚ takes soon-to-be former Congressman George Santos seriously. This is just another meaningless stunt in his long history of cons‚ antics‚ and outright fraud.”

Former CNN host Chris Cuomo — who once claimed Donald Trump was the worst president in U.S. history — changed his tune about the former commander-in-chief‚ now saying he is open to voting for Trump if it came down to a rematch between him and President Joe Biden in 2024. Cuomo‚ 53‚ joined podcast host Patrick Bet-David on Wednesday‚ where the two discussed a wide range of topics‚ including a potential second Trump administration. When asked by Bet-David if he would consider voting for Trump in the 2024 presidential election‚ Cuomo gave an unexpected answer. “I am always open‚” Cuomo said. “And I’ll tell you that people sell bulls***‚ ‘You’ve never voted for a Republican in your life.’ Wrong. And not only have I‚ the first vote I ever cast was for a Republican.” “I don’t think there’s any greater risk to America with him than with Biden‚” he continued. “And for people who are now going to attack me and say‚ ‘What are you talking about? Trump is like this crazy man.’ Well‚ look — you know — as Patrick says‚ ‘the data is the data.’ Nobody was trying to kill us when Trump was president in a way that they’re not now — if anything‚ there’s more hostility‚ and you can have reasons for that any way you want.” Cuomo‚ now an anchor at NewsNation‚ said he was “existentially” unafraid of a second Trump or Biden term‚ saying‚ “Unlike many people in America‚ I believe that the country is much stronger than any individual leader.” “We survived the Russia thing‚” he said. “We survived January 6. We survived having Biden as a gaffe machine. We survived Congress‚ going after each other and doing nothing for the rest of us. We survive these things.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Cuomo was fired from CNN in December 2021 as the far-Left network investigated his involvement in helping his brother‚ then-Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY)‚ navigate a sexual misconduct scandal. Before his fall from grace from the network‚ Cuomo spent much of his time staunchly criticizing Trump during his time at the White House. During a December 2020 newscast‚ Cuomo dubbed the former president as “the worst president ever” after Trump pardoned a number of members of his inner circle‚ including political consultant Roger Stone‚ former campaign chairman Paul Manafort‚ and former national security adviser Lieutenant General Michael Flynn. “I hope you decide to accept it once and for all‚” Cuomo said at the time. “It is the gift of ultimate clarity about this outgoing president. Democrats‚ Independents‚ real Republicans‚ you all now know just based on the last 24 hours alone‚ this guy is the worst ever.” “[Trump] is the worst president we have ever seen. Period‚” Cuomo added. Cuomo was later picked up by NewsNation‚ where he pledged to be objective after being routinely accused of biased reporting while at CNN.

After four Israelis — including a 24-year-old pregnant woman and her unborn child — were murdered by Hamas terrorists in a shooting at a Jerusalem bus stop Thursday‚ ABC News reported on the story using a picture of recently freed Palestinian prisoners as its main photo.  At around 7:40 a.m. local time‚ two Palestinian brothers jumped out of a vehicle at the bus stop near a main entrance to the capital city and fired at the people waiting for the bus‚ killing four and wounding at least six others. Shortly after the shooting‚ Hamas claimed responsibility for the terror attack‚ calling the terrorists “jihad-waging martyrs.”  ABC News’s report on the story featured a photo of people who were crying and embracing — except the photo was not of grieving Israelis but of Palestinian prisoners who were recently freed in exchange for hostages held by terrorists.  Screen Shot: X/ABC News The ABC News report went on to refer to Hamas as a “Palestinian militant group‚” even though Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government since 1997. The article then said the terrorist attack “occurred amid surging violence between Israeli settlers and Palestinians in the occupied West Bank while Israel is at war with Hamas” without any mention of the temporary ceasefire agreed upon by Hamas leaders and then violated by the terrorists multiple times this week.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP In Thursday’s attack at the Jerusalem bus stop‚ 24-year-old Livia Dickman‚ who was pregnant with her first child‚ was declared dead at the scene.

Actress Jodie Sweetin‚ best known for playing Stephanie Tanner on the hit comedy “Full House‚” said child stars who aren’t damaged by becoming famous all have one thing in common. “When you see the kids that grew up in this business that turned out to be fairly normal‚ well-rounded people‚ they all have really normal parents‚ who didn’t want to be in the business themselves‚” the 41-year-old actress told Today. Sweetin starred in the series when she was just 5 years old after doing some commercial work in her hometown of Los Angeles. She went on to say how parents who were failed actors were too hard on their kids trying to make it in the business. “They’re like‚ ‘I tried to be famous‚ but it didn’t work out‚ so now it’s your turn‚’” Sweetin told the outlet‚ saying people have told her‚ “I had a kid because I wanted them to be famous.” The actress also mentioned how child celebrities now have it “a lot rougher” due to social media‚ which didn’t exist when she first got famous.  “I can’t imagine being one of those kids on a big network show that gets all of the attention and all of the criticism. And people are worrying about who you’re dating‚ and what you look like‚” Sweetin said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “When I was nine‚ I had teeth coming out of every direction‚” she added. “I was very self-conscious of it at the time‚ and if that had been the thing that was getting made fun of online? That would have destroyed me.” The “Full House” alum’s biological parents were both incarcerated at the time of her birth‚ which led to her being adopted by her aunt and uncle‚ Sam and Janice Sweetin‚ when she was 9 months old. Sweetin said her adoptive parents never pushed her to become famous and she survived being a child star rather well. But when “Full House” went off the air‚ the actress did struggle with addiction.  “It was a huge shift in my life. Everything I had known from the time I was 5 years old suddenly ended and it was like saying goodbye to a family I had loved very‚ very much‚” Sweetin said in 2016. “At such a young age it really was a huge loss for me‚ I didn’t know how to grieve. Drugs and alcohol just sort of numbed everything.” The celebrity has been sober since 2011. She’s now a mother of two and is a certified drug and alcohol counselor.
