Washington is finally waking up to something most Americans have been screaming about for years — Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick allegedly stole $5 million in FEMA disaster relief money, and she’s still sitting in Congress casting votes. Not for much longer, if House Speaker Mike Johnson has anything to say about it. On Tuesday, Johnson told reporters something you almost never hear a sitting Speaker say about a fellow House member: the facts are in, the Ethics Committee has spoken, and the Florida Democrat “should be expelled.” This one isn’t even close. https://x.com/nicksortor/status/2044432258753237061 Just to set the scene: the House Ethics Committee ran a years-long, bipartisan investigation. They interviewed hundreds of people. They reviewed tens of thousands of documents. And in the end, the panel found Cherfilus-McCormick guilty of 25 out of 27 ethics violations. Even AOC is reportedly on board with expelling her. When AOC is agreeing with Mike Johnson about tossing a Democrat from Congress, you know the evidence has to be pretty damning. The Hill had the Speaker’s quote: House Speaker Johnson (R-La.) said he thinks the House will agree that Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) should be expelled from Congress. A House Ethics subcommittee last month announced that the panel had proven 25 of 27 counts of ethics violations against Cherfilus-McCormick, who is under federal indictment over allegations that she stole $5 million from FEMA disaster funds for personal use. The committee has scheduled a hearing on April 21 to determine what kind of sanctions would be appropriate to take against her. She has denied any wrongdoing. “I have been a zealous guardian of due process around here,” Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. “I do think certainly on Cherfilus-McCormick, the Ethics Committee has gone through all of its processes, and they found some alarming facts. I think the facts are indisputable at this point, and so I believe it’ll be the consensus of this body that she should be expelled.” “The facts are indisputable.” That’s the kind of line a Speaker uses when he already knows the math is there. And about those facts — prosecutors say she didn’t just steal FEMA money. She allegedly used it to fund her own congressional run and buy herself luxury items. One of the specific allegations swirling online has been impossible to miss: https://x.com/pineapplegirl84/status/2044619174027125141 Let that one sink in. Democrats told us FEMA was broke when people in Maui, East Palestine, and Western North Carolina needed help. But apparently FEMA had plenty of money sitting around for a congresswoman to allegedly live large on. Fox News laid out the scale of what she’s actually facing: House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters Tuesday that he would support expelling Cherfilus-McCormick from Congress, citing a bipartisan adjudicatory subcommittee finding her guilty of more than two dozen ethics violations in March. The ethics panel’s guilty verdict was the culmination of a yearslong investigation during which the group interviewed hundreds of individuals and reviewed tens of thousands of documents. Cherfilus-McCormick is facing more than five decades in prison for allegedly stealing millions in disaster relief funds to finance her run for Congress and purchase luxury items. She is also accused of participating in a straw donor scheme and conspiring to file a false federal tax return. Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., has pledged to introduce an expulsion resolution against Cherfilus-McCormick, but he said he would wait until the ethics panel releases its recommended punishment against the Florida Democrat. The group is scheduled to hold a hearing announcing its suggested sanction for Cherfilus-McCormick next week. Fifty-plus years in prison. 25 proven violations. And a Speaker of the House publicly saying her removal is the consensus of the chamber. Conservatives on X are already celebrating what could be a rare win for accountability: https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/2044432975429865637 The April 21 hearing will determine what sanctions the Ethics Committee recommends. Rep. Greg Steube already has the expulsion resolution ready to drop on the floor the moment that report lands. Two-thirds of the House is needed to expel her. With Johnson, Steube, Luna, Mace, and even some Democrats already on record — the votes look like they’re there. Next Tuesday is going to be one to watch.What’s your opinion?
