U.S. Rep. George Santos (R-NY) leaves a House Republican conference meeting in the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill on October 24, 2023 in Washington, DC. Members of the GOP conference met for a closed-door vote to select their nominee for Speaker of the House to succeed former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who was ousted on October 4 in a move led by a small group of conservative members of his own party. The Republicans nominated Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) today but he has already dropped out of the running after it became clear he could not secure enough votes to be elected Speaker.

George Santos Unhinged: Calls Congressman a 'P*ssy' in Rant

Emell Adolphus READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Embattled congressional grifter Rep. George Santos will likely, finally, be expelled from Congress. But before that time comes, he is reclaiming his time to tear apart all of his colleagues for being "hypocrites."

As reported by The Daily Beast, Santos did not hold back during an R-rated Twitter rant Friday night that saw him accuse his House colleagues of being hungover on the job, cheating on their spouses, and hiding in their "ivory towers with white pointy hats."

How do you really feel, George?

House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest introduced a resolution to expel Santos that many of Santos' colleagues have promised to support. A monthlong investigation allegedly found Santos to have used campaign funds to pay for Botox, personal travel, and, get this, pornography!

Expletives aside, Santos' defense and reasoning seemed to be: Everybody does it, so why can't I?

Santos personally singled out Guest and said that he should "be a man and stop being a pussy and call the damn motion."

He added, "Within the ranks of United States Congress there's felons galore, there's people with all sorts of shystie backgrounds."

According to Santos, his colleagues are "more worried about getting drunk every night with the next lobbyists they're going to screw" than doing their jobs, The Daily Beast reports.

He shared, "I'm not running for reelection because I don't want to work with a bunch of hypocrites," he said. "It's gross."

It really is full scorched earth and great TV–if only the health of the American Republic weren't in the hands of people like Santos.

"The Ethics Committee's report, released last week, found Santos had lied about his education and incurred multiple civil judgments totaling thousands of dollars," Daily Beast reports. "It also suggested that he failed to properly disclose the $800,000 in personal loans he reported making to his campaign to the Federal Election Commission, and improperly reimbursed himself with donor money for loans he did not make. It also cites the 23 charges filed against Santos in federal court last month, to which he has pleaded not guilty."

Yikes.

"[T]he evidence uncovered by the Investigative Subcommittee (ISC) revealed that Representative George Santos cannot be trusted," the report concluded. "At nearly every opportunity, he placed his desire for private gain above his duty to uphold the Constitution, federal law, and ethical principles."

Listen to Santos discuss the findings of the House Ethics Committee investigation below.
