Rep. George Santos, facing likely expulsion from Congress, launched a expletive-ridden tirade in a livestream Friday night, accusing his House colleagues of casting votes hungover, cheating on their spouses, and being “hypocrites.”
The three-hour-long rant came after House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest introduced a resolution to expel Santos that many of his former allies have promised to support.
Guest introduced the resolution following the committee’s monthslong investigation into the congressman, which found he used campaign funds to pay for Botox, personal travel, and even porn.
Santos singled out Guest in the livestream, saying the chairman should “be a man and stop being a pussy and call the damn motion.” But he had harsh words for all of his colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, whom he accused of “act[ing] like they’re in ivory towers with white pointy hats and they’re untouchable.”
“Within the ranks of United States Congress there’s felons galore, there’s people with all sorts of shystie backgrounds,” he said.
So spill the fucking beans! That’s true scorched earth.
Would anyone believe what he said? That’s probably why they’re going for it.
I mean… maybe? For example, there’s not much I’d believe Madison Cawthorn on, but coke-filled orgies I kinda’ actually believe him on. Especially with how the rest of the Republicans responded by instantly burying him.
You’re explaining what I mean. They now have proven what a liar and cheat he is, Santos’ truths are going to be buried in the muck.
You’ve got half a point: he was probably telling the truth, but none of the people in the cult believed him…
