George Santos Again Threatens His Former Colleagues After He's Expelled From Congress

Former Republican Representative George Santos lashed out at his former colleagues in a late night social media rant on Friday evening, shortly after he was expelled and removed from Congress. Santos is now threatening to file ethics complaints against multiple members of Congress for their alleged bad behavior, but Santos is forgetting that he no longer has that authority. If he really had tea to spill, he'd already be doing it - but given his record of lying, could we even believe a word he says? Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Well, as we all know, on Friday, Republican representative George Santos, officially became former Republican representative George Santos. As he was expelled from Congress, they immediately got him out of the building, following the votes and changed the locks on his office door after immediately ripping his name plaque off the door. So they wasted no time. Like, okay, the vote's over. Great. I got a new lock in hand. Let's take it out. Let's take his keys just in case dude is gone from Congress. And then later that evening, Friday evening, George Santos, of course, got on social media and once again, just like he did before he was expelled, he threatened his fellow lawmakers, well, former fellow lawmakers 'cause he is not a lawmaker anymore. Specifically, he went after, as a whole list of people here, Republican Representative Nicole Malley, AKIs, uh, Republican representative Mike Lawler, Republican representative Nick Lata, and Democratic representative Rob Menendez.

And he accu, uh, he also went after Nancy Pelosi. He went after her husband. And so he just went scorched earth against everybody and accused them of various different things. Some he accused of insider trading, some he accused of campaign finance violations. But he did say that he was totally gonna be filing ethics complaints against these individuals, uh, uh, on Monday. So he's like, yeah, I'm gonna totally do this thing because you guys are so corrupt. And I, I personally know of all your corruption somehow, so I'm definitely gonna take you all down with me. Now, don't get me wrong. I am all for rooting out corruption in Washington dc I don't care if it's a Democrat or a Republican. If they've broken the law, if they're doing something bad, expose them and expel them. That's, that's I think, a good motto for everybody, right?

It doesn't matter your party if you're being bad, if you're doing illegal things, we want you gone. I, I, I think most people, regardless of political affiliation, could probably agree with that, because that's not an extreme stance. If you're breaking the law, you shouldn't be in Congress. And if George Santos actually does have evidence of any of these things he's alleged against these people, file your ethics complaint. But keep in mind, George, you're no longer a lawmaker dude. So you can't walk into the ethics committee and hand them a stack of papers and be like, Hey, here, here you go guys. All right, I'll see you Monday. No, um, you'll have to do it just like any individual or outside group would have to do, which basically means that it's gonna get buried under a pile of paperwork and nobody's ever gonna see it because you no longer get that special treatment. And of course, this is only going to be viewed as you having sour grapes for being the sixth member of Congress in history to be expelled from the body. There's also, let's not forget, one big caveat to all

Of this, George Santos, based on everything we know, is a serial liar. You know, I would love to believe that he is saying he has genuine, you know, evidence or knowledge of corruption amongst these lawmakers and wants to get him out. I wanna believe that.
