In typically dramatic fashion, Santos announced his run while President Joe Biden delivered his State of the Union speech.
Three months after former Rep. George Santos’ colleagues expelled him for a staggering array of alleged crimes and ethical violations, he has apparently decided that man cannot live by Cameo alone—and he wants his job back.
In fact, Santos wouldn’t even be tied for this ignominious record, because Trafficant made another stab at his old seat in 2010, losing again to Ryan. The other expelled member, former Rep. Michael “Ozzie” Myers, recidivated,to election fraud for stuffing ballots for Democrats in Pennsylvania between 2014 and 2018. He’s currently serving out the tail end of a 30-month prison sentence.
Santos was, of course, eventually dismissed, following the release of a House Ethics Committee report in November detailing a wide range of alleged criminal and unethical behavior. His old seat is now held by Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi, who won a special election last month. “Clown show,” one GOP member said of Santos being at the State of the Union. “Him keeping his privileges was an oversight that may soon be corrected.”shortly after his official paperwork was submitted, claiming that he has “made several personal sacrifices in the name of serving the American people” lifting a phrase from defeated GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis.
One of Santos’ former New York Colleagues, Rep. Marc Molinaro —who helped lead the effort to oust Santos—laughed when asked what he thought of the disgraced former Congressman’s appearance at the vaunted address.
