like to be an embattled congressman, but i kind of know a little bit about that seat. george, you ve heard just there congressman des to see toe calling for you to resign, nick langworthy also has. it s their prerogative. i came here to serve people, not politicians and party leaders. i was elected by 142,000 people. until those same 142,000 people tell me they don t want me, we ll find out in two years. again, that s a process defense. other scandal ridden politicians have made the same point, that they can t just be drummed out by colleagues, politicians as he put it or some vague moving standard that if they re not legally ejected they ll wait till the next election. you have mccarthy who had his own problems with mr. gaetz, the guest host. apparently he doesn t want to deal with the santos thing, doesn t want to stay neutral,
