"Bobby" Scott | S000185 | bobbyscott.house.gov | bobbyscott | https://bobbyscott.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement after voting against a censure resolution for Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), as well as voting against an expulsion resolution for Congressman George Santos (NY-03): “The Ethics Committee is charged with investigating alleged wrongdoing by members of the U.S. House of Representatives. In the past, I have been appointed to serve on multiple investigative subcommittees, and I can personally attest to the nonpartisan, rigorous and deliberative process conducted by the committee. In fact, the committee is expected to soon release findings and recommendations on the Santos matter. These resolutions were rushed to the floor outside of that deliberative process. In 2002, I voted to expel Rep. James Traficant but that was after he was found guilty in a court of law. Absent any report or recommendation from the committee, or a criminal conviction, these resolutions are premature. For the sake of the institution, we must stop the cheapening of the censure and expulsion processes for political expediency and get back to the process that we already have in place to appropriately deal with these matters.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |
