I think it's fair to say that Naysa Woomer didn't know what she signed up for when she joined George Santos' staff this January as his Communications Director. I guess she just hadn't done her homework but according to her Linkedin page she's been around Republican politics for well over a decade. She resigned by email, writing "Unfortunately, you never took one point of professional advice given."

Naysa Woomer, the communications director for embattled Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), has resigned, Scripps News has learned.

The departure of Woomer, a prominent Republican communications adviser, is the latest in a string of bad news for Santos, who was indicted on 13 counts, including fraud and money laundering, last week by Department of Justice officials.

Woomer previously worked for GOP Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and Reps. Ryan Costello, Thomas Massie, and Tim Huelskamp.

"With respect for my colleagues, the people of New York, and most importantly, myself, I am honored to tender my resignation," Woomer said in her resignation email.

Woomer said of the departure — appearing to direct the comment toward Santos — "Unfortunately, you never took one point of professional advice given."

Santos was handed a 13-count federal indictment after weeks of accusations and surfacing of reports about wrongdoing in his past.

The House on Wednesday voted largely along party lines, 221-204, to refer a resolution to expel Santos to the Ethics Committee.
