Sure, ideally they’d boot him out. Someone taking overt bribes doesn’t belong in congress (the dumb thing is, there are so many ways to take non-overt bribes, which 95% of them do - have a family member hired by a lobbyist or foundation, for instance). It’s just unfortunate that Republicans get an advantage since they’d never boot one of their own who was found guilty of corruption. They’d just ignore it or deny it, and their voters would either deny it or just not care also.
