George Santos Barricaded Himself In His Office To Avoid Angry Constituents

George Santos was back in his district office this past week, but that didn't do much good for his constituents. When an angry group showed up to deliver a petition calling for his resignation, Santos locked himself in the office and refused to come out or to let his voters come in. He then got on Twitter to proclaim that he wasn't hiding - and that he wouldn't resign - but the voices are only going to grow louder. Farron Cousins explains what happened.

So last week in battled Republican Congressman George Santos decided to spend a couple of days in his district office, which is where members of Congress go. They, they hear from their constituents. The people in the community are able to come and, you know, approach with their ideas, their problems and say, Hey, listen, you're in Congress. We need this done. We need that done. Your district is suffering. And in some cases you get a couple of constituents that might not be happy with your performance asking you to resign. And that is exactly what happened to George Santos on Wednesday of this past week, about 25 of his constituents showed up and they had a petition, uh, that they say was signed by over a thousand people in the district calling on him to resign. So what did George Santos do? Did he, did he open the door to these people, listen to their complaints, take their petition and go back in?

Oh God, no. No. George Santos locked the doors and effectively barricaded himself in the office so that these angry constituents couldn't talk to him or deliver their petition. He even had police stationed outside of his office to prevent people from being able to come in. So it was a police barricade that he got for himself so that he didn't have to face the music for all of the horrible things that he has allegedly done. Again, gotta say allegedly, cause he hasn't been convicted of any of it. We do know that he's a liar and he's lied about multiple aspects of his past. Everything from his grandparents to his mother, to his education, to his career, and sports, all of it, like literally everything. And of course, we found out recently he may have also stolen puppies from an Amish dog breeder. He was a person of interest in an international credit card fraud scheme, and he stole a man's checkbook down in Brazil and, you know, wrote a bunch of bad checks.

So yeah, I wouldn't wanna face my constituents either. Oh, let's also not forget, of course, the issues with the F e c, the fact that he's under investigation from eight different entities. Yeah, I wouldn't wanna talk to the people either. I would probably lock my door hide underneath my desk. Actually, I'm smarter than that, so I probably just wouldn't go into the office that day, I mean, that's also an option you had, you didn't even have to go in. You could have just stayed home. You could have stayed in DC at your apartment or condo or whatever it is you have there, but you were like, Nope, I'm gonna go into work today. And, uh, yeah, it didn't end well for you, did it. Um, here's the thing. The day before Santos was hiding from his constituents, he tweeted this out. He said, let me be very clear. I'm not leaving. I'm not hiding, and I'm not backing down. And then the

Next, next day, what he did was he backed down from his constituents and he hid in his office so nobody could talk to him, what a pathetic coward, dude, you made your bed. I know it's tough to go and face the music. I know nobody wants to deal with the ramifications of their own actions. And I think everybody at some point in their lives has been there. You know, maybe it's extreme, maybe it's something minor, but you knew you screwed up. You knew you had to face it, whether it was at work and you knew the boss was gonna yell at you, whether it was at home. You knew your spouse was gonna get onto you, your parents, maybe when you were younger, whatever it was, you didn't want to do it, but by God you had to suck it up and do it. George Santos doesn't wanna suck it up. He wants to hide under his desk and wait till everybody leaves, and the police can clear it out so he can get to his car and get the hell out of there because he's a coward. He's a liar and a coward. And hopefully one of these investigations will get him out of office so that those people in that district, the one he refuses to talk to, maybe they can get some better representation. And Santos can finally face justice.
