George Santos went nuclear on his former New York Republican colleagues and announced that he would be filing ethics complaints against several of them following his expulsion from the House of Representatives on Friday.

Eight of Santos’ New York Republican colleagues in the House voted to expel him on Friday, with just two voting against the motion.

Responding to Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’ (R-NY) vote to expel him, Santos wrote:

Let’s talk about hypocrisy.

Can someone ask Nicole MalioStockTips when did she become a savant in stock trading?

The signature bank trades she did REEKS of insider trading much like Paul Pelosi’s every trade!

Nicole is in it for herself! Just look at her record and it speaks for itself.

Nicole MalioStockTips is a dirty dishonorable swamp creature selling the American people down a river for her own benefit.

@NMalliotakis the difference between you and I is that I don’t live in denial, I’m a PROUD GAY man and I’m not afraid to say it.

Santos went on to announce that he would be filing “an official complaint with the Office of congressional Ethics” against Malliotakis “regarding her questionable stock trading since joining the Ways and Means committee this Congress.”

In other posts, Santos continue to rail against his former colleagues, turning his sights towards Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY).

“On Monday I will be filling an Ethics complaint against @RepMikeLawler for questionable campaign finance violations,” declared Santos:

Congressman Lawler owns portion of Checkmate Strategies and he uses the same firm that he is a beneficiary of to pay for services related to his campaign.

The concerning questions are; is Mr Lawler engaging in laundering money form his campaign to his firm then into his own pocket?

I will let the Office of Congressional Ethics be the judge of that.

Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY) was next on Santos’ list.

“On Monday the 3rd ethics report I’ll be submitting to the Office of Congressional Ethics is on @RepLaLota,” Santos announced:

It has been raised in the local media that congressman Lalota obtained his JD attending Hofstra in day school while he was supposed to be working at the Board of elections at the same time.

The questionable actions are? Did Rep Lalota no-show to his tax pay funded job while going to school and if so he can potential have stolen public funds form the tax payers of NY.

I will let the Office of Congressional Ethics determine the validity of this grave allegation raised in his local media.

Santos also called for the expulsion of Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and said he would file his fourth ethics complaint against Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) — son of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), who was charged in September with taking “hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes” from the state of Egypt.

“While congressman Menedez has not been invoked by the diligent investigation of the DOJ into his father, there remains a question of what did he know and when did he know it,” wrote Santos. “The complaint is to seek clarification from the freshman congressman on his involvement with his fathers overseas dealing over the years and any potential compensation he received.”

He continued, “I think it’s a fair point to make sure we weed out the doubt surrounding Rep Menendez and his business associations with his father. I will leave it to the office of congressional ethics to investigate the material I’ll be submitting to them.”
