George Santos sent thank you notes to members who voted against expelling him earlier this week.

Embattled Rep. George Santos has sent thank you notes to members of Congress who voted against expelling him from the House earlier this week, according to a copy of the note obtained by POLITICO.

“I want to sincerely emphasize that I know that your vote was not done for me, but for the sanctity of this institution and the possibility of setting a very dangerous precedent,” Santos (R-N.Y.) wrote in the letter.

More than 30 House Democrats voted against a motion, led by New York Republicans, to expel the indicted Santos largely citing due process concerns. Several dozen House Republicans voted in favor of the push earlier this week.

At least one recipient of the letter wasn’t impressed. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), who voted against the expulsion citing the precedent it could create, copy edited Santos’ letter by hand and sent it back to him.

Read Raskin’s hand-written reply.

“I appreciate your note and only wish someone had proofread it first. Meantime, you should apologize to the people of New York for all of your lies and deceit.” he wrote, adding “P.S. It’s not shameful to resign.”
