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 know how annoying republicans get about drag shows?

    It’s recently occurred to me as to why. The only drag queen they know is George Santos.

      Please, Devolder is a minor drag baroness at best. An unlanded one.

        didn’t say a good drag queen. Just the only one they knew personally, is all.

        Nothing, really.

        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.

        Everyone knows the hatred is caused by bigotry.
