George Santos Threatens Fellow Lawmakers Over Expulsion

Soon-to-be FORMER Representative George Santos is trying to take everyone else in Congress down with him as he prepares to leave Congress, with him going as far as to introduce a resolution to expel Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman (that will go nowhere.) Santos also issued a threat against his fellow lawmakers, saying that they be "haunted" by their decision to kick him out. The only being haunted is Santos because he knows what lies ahead for him. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Republican representative, well, soon to be former Republican representative, George Santos had a bit of a meltdown this week outside of the Capitol when reporters caught up to him and he basically threatened the entire body of Congress, Republicans, democrats, doesn't matter. George Santos says that this decision to expel him will haunt you for the rest of your lives. Here is exactly what Santos had to say. This will haunt them in the future where mere allegations are sufficient to have members removed from Congress when duly elected by their people. This is bullying. It's all theater. It's theater for the cameras, it's theater for the microphones and theater for the American people. Kinda like how you then immediately went and introduced a resolution to expel, uh, democratic representative Jamal Bowman. 'cause, 'cause that seems like theater to me. But you know, what do I know? I'm just a person who's been involved in politics ever since my first day in college.

So yeah, I'm sure George Santos knows a lot more than I do about what's political theater and what's not. Here's the thing, bud. These aren't mere allegations. These were findings of the House Ethics Committee. They have the evidence to back up these claims. And while it is true that you have not yet been convicted of any of this, that's only because you haven't gone to trial yet. And more importantly, right, we're actually talking about the duly elected member from your district, yourself, because those people in your district, as you're telling us in this comment, they chose you to go to Congress and it's not fair to them, right? But as I've repeatedly said, they didn't choose you. They chose a fantasy that you had created. They chose a person that does not actually exist. They chose a figment of your imagination because you sold them a fake version of yourself.

Lemme give you an example, right? I live in the middle of a triangle of three different military bases. So military experience, um, or, you know, supporting the troops, whatever you wanna call it, uh, has a big impact on who can win and lose an election in this area. So, if I were to come out and run for office in this area and tell everybody, listen, look, I, I fought in Iraq for, for eight years. I lost both my arms in Iraq. I, I'm a vet, I know firsthand. It would probably boost my chances of winning in this area. And then after I win, it comes out like, wait a minute. He actually has both of his arms. We see them waving around, and he's never served in the military. The people would have voted for a fake person, which is exactly what happened in your case. You lied about every possible

Aspect of your past. And this isn't even included by the way, in any of the criminal charges against you. So don't sit there and act like your voters chose you because they sure didn't. They picked a person who doesn't exist and they deserve better. And hopefully in the very near future, better is exactly what they're gonna get. And trust me, nobody will be haunted by the decision to expel your.
