4:20Now PlayingEmbattled Republican Representative George Santos said that Kyrsten Sinema encouraged him to "hang in there" after Mitt Romney called him out during The State of the Union address last week, but Sinema's office swears that the Senator didn't offer him any words of encouragement. Is Sinema trying to play coy about the Rep, or is this another one of Santos' lies? Farron Cousins discusses this.

Embattled Republican representative George Santos says that Kirsten Sinema came up to him after the State of the Union address. You know, after mit, Romney had gotten in his face and said, you don't belong here. And according to George Santos, Kirsten Sinema offered him a word of encouragement, saying, hang in there buddy. Which of course, on Friday prompted Kirsten Sentine's office to come out and say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The Senator under no circumstances was nice to George Santos. They never even spoke. She didn't even know he was there. Here is the official statement from her office, from her press secretary, Pablo Carmona. This is a blatant lie. Kirsten didn't say a word to representative. Santos didn't even know about the exchange with Senator Senator Romney until they got to their seats.
Do you know how toxic you have to be as a human being when another senator's office has to come out and say, whoa, I swear to God we were not nice to this dude. Like there was no pleasantries exchanged. We didn't even shake his hand. Like, who? I don't who is he? I don't even know who this guy is other than he sucks and we don't like him. Like that is how toxic George Santos is, that even when you're just accused of like being nice, like, Hey, hang in there bud. You have to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, totally. That's, we didn't do that. Like, uh, that's what we did. Um, that's how bad George Santos is. And of course, this is not surprising. George Santos has lied about everything, so why not lie about a senator who is wildly unpopular being nice to you? But that, I guess, also does raise another question, right?
SMA is hugely unpopular. She is one of the most unpopular senators in the United States. So when she's looking at George Santos, who, I mean, probably one of the most unpopular people in Congress right now, like, Hey, I'm unpopular. You're unpopular. Hang in there, buddy. It'll get better. Like, that does make sense. So maybe that's why Santos decided to use her in the lie, or maybe it's whats did, and her office is lying. I gotta tell you, given the, uh, two choices there, I'm, I'm probably gonna go with George Santos as 100% lying here, just like he has lied against everyone, uh, aga about everything else. Excuse me. I'll give Sinema the benefit of the doubt on this particular issue, but only on this particular issue. But I can't stress enough how hilarious it is to me that George Santos is such a scumbag, like so universally, universally reviled
That your own office has to come out and put out a statement saying, we were not nice to him. That's how bad you are, not as a representative dude, but as a human being. Everybody hates you. I would think you would learn a less like, listen, if there was a place I went every day and I knew that everybody there just absolutely hated me, I'd be like, you know what? I'm not gonna come here anymore. And that's what you could do, George. You could resign. You're gonna be forced out of office eventually. You know that. We all know that there are eight different entities right now that are either actively investigating George Santos or are about to be investigating Santos. And one of those happens to be international authorities down in Brazil. You are not going to make it through your first term, so why don't you go ahead and cut bait, get the hell out of there, and stop accusing people of being nice to you because it only makes you look so much worse than you already do.
