(Business Insider) Rep. Matt Gaetz on Saturday said embattled GOP Rep. George Santos will have to go through an ethics process, but shouldn’t “be subject to shunning” beforehand as he needs to represent his constituents. While speaking to Gaetz, Santos did not reveal the source of the money that he used to give to his successful House campaign. Last week, Santos was hit with three ethics complaints from End Citizens United, the advocacy group that filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission, the Department of Justice, and the Office of Congressional Ethics.
