Western Pennsylvania lawmakers were split on the vote to expel George Santos from the U.S. house on Friday. Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Peters, was one of two from the Pennsylvania delegation to oppose expulsion. Santos, a New York Republican, had come under fire for a string of controversies, including lying about having Jewish ancestry, a career at top Wall Street firms and a college degree. This year, Santos was indicted on 23 charges related to duping donors, stealing from his campaign and lying to Congress.
