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.

So spill the fucking beans! That's true scorched earth.
Yeah, everyone knew his deal before he was sworn in. Nobody is telling him anything. Maybe he heard some rumors. More likely, he’s just talking shit about what most of us assume is going on. That’s how con men operate. They tell lies that are easy to believe and that you want to believe.
Just a snarky comment playing off the idea of preconceptions about a larger group caused by only knowing one person in the group who does a weird thing.
When it comes to calling the Republicans who have protected him out of weak self-interest for so long cowards, criminals and hypocrites, he's got a point..
You mean the individuals waiting for the report referenced? I don't think they're going to need convincing nearly as much as you need to pay attention.
