George Santos is completely off the deep end tonight
George Santos, who is currently out on bail while awaiting criminal trial on twenty-three felony counts yet still hasn’t been expelled, is the poster child for the Republican House. Or should we say wanted poster?
In any case, Santos is going completely off the deep end tonight on Twitter. First he shared a pumpkin with his own face painted on it. Now he’s shared an image that says “George Santos releases his mugshot” along with a photo of Brad Pitt. Yes, this is really happening.
In a very different context this kind of thing could be considered funny, harmless. But George Santos is on his way to prison. He just spent the week wandering the congressional halls with a baby that wasn’t his, before ditching it and running around while screaming the F-word. And now he’s… claiming he’s Brad Pitt?
You get the feeling that even when they haul this guy away in handcuffs after his conviction, he’ll still be trying to make some bizarre joke out of it. And that’s fine, because as long as House Republicans keep refusing to expel him, we get to keep using Santos against the House Republicans running in toss-up districts. But what an embarrassment for the Republicans. Santos sounds like he needs a court appointed custodian, and House Republicans still have him in their caucus!
