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.
If he wants to take down other Republicans with him when he goes down in flames, I’ll happily pop some popcorn and watch.
He’s so toxic, and has been since he stepped into office I’m wondering what he might possibly know?
Who would confide in the confidence man?
Yeah, everyone knew his deal before he was sworn in. Nobody is telling him anything. Maybe he heard some rumors. More likely, he’s just talking shit about what most of us assume is going on. That’s how con men operate. They tell lies that are easy to believe and that you want to believe.
Exactly. I have no doubts that the truth is much worse than what Santos is claiming, but regardless we’ll never know.
He doesn’t know anything. The only thing that keeps him there are the razor thin margins in the house.
