4:14Now PlayingRepublican Congressman George Santos seems to be having some mixed emotions right now, especially since his horrific actions were exposed in a recent Ethics Committee report. Santos said that he expects to be expelled when the new vote is held, possibly this week, but he also says he'll wear it like a "badge of honor." But in the same sentence, he also proudly said that he's not going to leave and that it is "over when I say its over." Santos doesn't seem to understand the gravity of what's happening, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Now that the Thanksgiving holiday is over for members of Congress, they can get back to business. And one of the first things on their agenda, by the way, is do we expel or do we not expel Republican representative George Santos, as we all remember before the Thanksgiving break, the House Ethics Committee release their damning report against Santos outlining all kinds of, you know, horrible things that he allegedly did. And remember we have to say the word allegedly because he has not yet been convicted of any of these things. So it is all alleged behavior. Nobody wants to get sued here. Now, having said that, the things that they have in that house committee report are pretty bad. And if they're true, then I have no doubt that Santos will end up being convicted. And speaking of, having no doubt, Santos said just a few days ago that he actually has no doubt that he's going to get expelled.
He knows that when that vote comes to the house floor, which will happen because the resolution was introduced right before the Thanksgiving break, he says he's gonna get expelled. Here's what he says. He goes, I know I'm going to get expelled when this expulsion resolution goes to the floor. So yeah, I mean, it's literally that he knows he is gonna get expelled. But it seems that Representative Santos has mixed feelings about getting expelled. Because on the one hand, obviously, he says like, yeah, I'm totally gonna get expelled. And then in the very next breath he says, if you wanna expel me, I'll wear it like a badge of honor. I'll be the six expelled member of Congress. Okay? So he seems cool with it, right? Well then in the very next breath, like he's confident it's happening. He says it's a badge of honor.
And then he said this, I'm not leaving. These people need to understand it's done. When I say it's done, Jesus Christ, man, you sound like you're taking us hostage. You're the one in the wrong here. You're the one who's about to lose everything. And you have the audacity to sit there and threaten. Like I honestly, at this point, it's not just threaten the rest of Congress, but you're threatening the country like it's done. When I say it's done, guys, and it ain't done yet. No, it's done. Like we're gonna go ahead and just go with that because it's done, man. Totally done. But Santos is the kind of guy who says basically, he didn't say this, but he's implying if I go down, I'm taking everybody down with me. Because he added this. He's accused other members of Congress of being more worried about getting drunk every night with the next lobbyist that they're going to screw and pretend like none of us know what's going on. And according to a post on social media, Santos has threatened to expose these members of Congress. Oh no, Santos,
Please don't expose the adulterers and the hypocrites. That would be horrible, dude. If you've got dirt on people, you got nothing to lose at this point, right? Just go at it, you ex scorched earth, take everybody down with you. I don't care who they are. If they're doing bad things, the public needs to know that their member of Congress, either Republican or Democrat, is doing bad things. You're not gonna hurt anybody's feelings out here in the electorate. You might hurt some feelings in DC sure, but that's not going to affect you. 'cause it's not like you're gonna go get a job in dc.
