The congressman ranted for more than three hours via a livestream, targeting political “hypocrites” and the upcoming expulsion vote against him.
Rep. George Santos, facing likely expulsion from Congress, launched a expletive-ridden tirade in a livestream Friday night, accusing his House colleagues of casting votes hungover, cheating on their spouses, and being “hypocrites.”
The three-hour-long rant came after House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest introduced a resolution to expel Santos that many of his former allies have promised to support.
Guest introduced the resolution following the committee’s monthslong investigation into the congressman, which found he used campaign funds to pay for Botox, personal travel, and even porn.
Santos singled out Guest in the livestream, saying the chairman should “be a man and stop being a pussy and call the damn motion.” But he had harsh words for all of his colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, whom he accused of “act[ing] like they’re in ivory towers with white pointy hats and they’re untouchable.”
“Within the ranks of United States Congress there’s felons galore, there’s people with all sorts of shystie backgrounds,” he said.
You're very naive if you truly think that today's GOP would let precedent get in the way of abusing their powers OR that that's the real reason why conservative Dems are siding with them.
The current GOP house leadership has already broken more precedent than the last 3 combined and those 31 Democrats share a lot of owner donors with Republicans, which is a much more likely reason for them dragging their feet in spite of clear and rampant fraud.
You know that you don't have to ignore Dem dereliction of duty or lie about their likely motivations in order to prefer them over the fascist GOP, right?
I never said that they SAID that was their reason, just that it likely is, based on clues in past and present behaviour. You're really not good at reading comprehension and pattern recognition, are you?
Mere sentences ago I was "likely" siding with fascism
I said that you seemed to be accusing ME of that because I don't automatically assume that Dems are honest about their reasons for letting the conman continue fleecing the public coffers.
If you're not even going to TRY to understand what I'm saying, I see no point in continuing this charade of assuming that you're neither an imbecile nor arguing in bad faith. Have the day you deserve, wilfully blind party soldier.
If all you got left is ad-hominem then by all means lay it bare.
And if it "seems" like you are the victim of accusations that I didn't at all make then that behavior would slot in nicely with the assignation you've reflexively displayed throughout this thread.
