New House Speaker Kevin McCarthy would not force Republican New York Rep. George Santos to resign from Congress, saying it is up to the voters who put him in office to decide. 

"Look, the voters decide... He has to answer to the voters... That's what his decision is to make,"  McCarthy told Capitol Hill reporters when asked if he would welcome Santos' resignation if it was offered.

Citing an NBC News report, CNBC reported that McCarthy said the voters elected Santos to serve, adding that if there is a "concern," the newly elected representative would have to go through the Ethics Committee.

Santos announced Wednesday that he will not resign from Congress amid growing calls for him to step down from his post.

The New York representative apologized for fabricating details on his resume. However, he maintained that he did not commit any crimes.

Despite his stance on Santos' resignation, McCarthy said the New York lawmaker should not be seated on any top House committees.

A House Republican, who frequently oversees the classified documents and information, said that Santos probably "shouldn't be on Intelligence or HASC."

The member noted that Santos could better serve on the Small Business Committee.

Dusty Johnson of South Dakota has other opinions. The head of the Main Street Caucus thinks that Santos should not be part of any committees.

Johnson said he "wouldn't seat the guy on any committees" until they have a "fuller understanding" of the incident.

Calls For George Santos' Resignation

Republicans from New York's Nassau County held a press conference on Wednesday, clamoring for George Santos to resign.

Nassau County Republican Committee Chairman Joseph Cairo described Santos' campaign as a "campaign of deceit, lies, and fabrication,"

The Nassau County GOP Chairman also called for Santos' "immediate resignation," adding that the lawmaker is "not welcome" at the Republican headquarters for meetings or at any of the GOP events.

Cairo said Santos has "disgraced the House of Representatives." Aside from calls for resignation, prosecutors for the U.S. Attorney's office for the Eastern District of New York are also looking at Santos' finances and financial disclosures.

Santos tweeted that he was elected to serve the people of New York, "not the party & politicians."

George Santos Resume

Last December, George Santos admitted to lying about his education and work experiences, saying that his sins were "embellishing" his resume.

Santos said during his campaign that he had worked at high-profile Wall Street firms, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.

He later admitted that he had never worked directly for the said firm, adding that it was a "poor choice of words."

Santos said he actually worked at a company called Link Bridge, where he served as the vice president and did business with both of the financial firms.

He claimed to have received a degree from New York City's Baruch College in 2010, later admitting that he did not graduate from any institution of higher learning.

Santos noted that he campaigned talking about the people's concerns rather than his resume. There were also inconsistencies in Santos' financial disclosure, with many questions raised regarding his fortune.
