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.

    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.
