As George Santos stares down an all but certain expulsion from Congress, the disgraced New York Republican came out swinging against his congressional colleagues, accusing some of having committed felonies and others of “getting drunk every night” while planning to sleep with lobbyists.
“Within the ranks of the United States Congress, there are felons galore,” Santos said during a grievance-filled, three-hour appearance on X Spaces Friday evening. “There’s people with all sorts of sheisty backgrounds, and all of a sudden, George Santos is the Mary Magdalene of the United States Congress.”
“If you want to expel me, I’ll wear it like a badge of honor,” he continued. “I’ll be the sixth expelled member of Congress.” (About this assertion, Santos is in fact correct.)
I have no idea what he means by being the Mary Magdalene of Congress, other than they are both commonly believed to be whores for money.
(Mary actually wasn’t)
I think he’s saying he’s being slandered/libeled, like Mary Magdalene who wasn’t a prostitute but was called one by the church or something. (I don’t know if she was or wasn’t one, I don’t even know if she actually existed, I just know it’s been alleged that it was a lie that she was a prostitute)
