WASHINGTON — House Republicans awarded embattled Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., seats on two House committees Tuesday, even as he faces federal, state and local investigations and fellow RepublicansThe GOP Steering Committee, which is led by Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California and doles out committee assignments, voted to give Santos slots on the Science, Space and Technology Committee and the Small Business Committee, which are two of the lower-profile panels on Capitol Hill.
Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams, R-Texas, confirmed Santos’ appointment to his panel. Two GOP sources said Santos would also serve on the Science committee. "I don't agree with what [Santos] said, did and all. I don't agree with any of that, OK? It's wrong," Williams said in a phone interview Tuesday. "But at the same time, he's on the committee. We're gonna have rules to follow. He does represent about a million people in New York and a lot of Main Street issues."
Asked whether Santos would be a distraction to his committee, Williams replied: "It's only going to be a distraction to those who want to distract." "We're going to have a lot of work to do, and we're going to do some good stuff, and he'll be a part of it. And if there's questions, we'll answer the questions. ... If they think [Santos' controversy] is going to be the main thing that comes out of the committee, they're going to really miss the boat."

It is up to the voters to turn him out, not the GOP conference.
Republicans have zero ethics.
