Congressman George Santos said he will introduce a measure to expel Rep. Jamaal Bowman for pulling a fire alarm ahead of a House vote to remove Santos himself.

The defiant New York Republican again insisted he will not resign - he will force his colleagues to remove him and will go down fighting.

'I will be filing a slew of complaints today and tomorrow,' he said, railing against the Ethics Report that prompted a third effort to oust him. 

'If I leave, they win,' he said, adding he didn't want to resign and give in to the 'bullies.' 

He railed against the House for holding a vote to remove him but not impeaching Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas and not kicking out Bowman.

'He took a plea deal for pulling a fire alarm, a fire alarm which obstructed and delayed an official hearing and proceeding on the House floor,' Santos said. 'Now Had that been any other person had had been one of the members of the media had had been a Republican member of Congress

We all know that that person would have been file would have been charged with obstructing a congressional hearing. Just like the 140 people sitting in prison right now because of January 6, but Jamaal Bowman gets a pass.'

Santos' resolution will be privileged, which means it must be voted on within two legislative days.

The Long Island liar survived a vote to expel him earlier this month because 31 Democrats and most Republicans voted to keep him, many of them saying they would rather wait until an Ethics Committee report came out detailing his wrongdoings.

That report has now been made public, finding Santos used campaign money and donations to fund a lavish lifestyle, engaged in fraud, filed false election reports and 'willfully' violated ethics.

'Nobody here has ever seen Ethics reports of any other members who has been under investigation. But yeah, again changing precedent for me, it seems that it's all fair game. So there we go,' Santos went on. 

They go ahead and release this. This reports littered, littered in hyperbole, littered an opinion that would have no decent cop would bring this to a prosecutor or a DA and say, here's our report, go ahead and charge him.'

 The 34-year-old freshman member called his expulsion and the report 'theater for the American people at the expense of the American people because no real works getting done.' 

Santos was asked if anything he was wearing at the news conference was bought with campaign money - including his Ferragamo shoes. 'No,' he said. 'These are six years old.'
