Published | Video Starts at 01:03

There are a lot of people up here that get indicted for things this and that, and they're not getting expelled, obviously. What did we do to Santos? We kicked him out. And I voted no against that. He wasn't convicted of anything. But Mr. Nels, if he loses Gonzalez on Tuesday, should he resign his seat, given how serious these accusations are? Absolutely not. No. Why would we do that?
