As George Santos stares down an all but certain expulsion from Congress, the disgraced New York Republican came out swinging against his congressional colleagues, accusing some of having committed felonies and others of “getting drunk every night” while planning to sleep with lobbyists.
“Within the ranks of the United States Congress, there are felons galore,” Santos said during a grievance-filled, three-hour appearance on X Spaces Friday evening. “There’s people with all sorts of sheisty backgrounds, and all of a sudden, George Santos is the Mary Magdalene of the United States Congress.”
“If you want to expel me, I’ll wear it like a badge of honor,” he continued. “I’ll be the sixth expelled member of Congress.” (About this assertion, Santos is in fact correct.)
Yeah, but that’s the thing. Everyone in the GOP already knew what Santos was about before he was even elected. They haven’t told him shit. I have no doubt that it’s actually worse that anything he’s said, but I highly doubt he’s going to take anyone down with him.
On the flip side, I wonder if they’ve told him stuff, but kept actual physical proof away from him. Santos is a known liar so any claim he makes would be tainted with the doubt of “is this another Santos lie.”
They could hide what they are doing in plain sight with people shaking their heads over “yet another Santos lie.”
My understanding is that Boebert and him have grown close, since nobody else talks to them.
