Mitt Romney did not mince words about embattled Rep. George Santos at the State of the Union address: 'He shouldn't be (in Congress) and if he had any shame at all, he wouldn't be there.'
joined the growing number of Republicans who have said embattled freshman Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., shouldn't be in Congress. Santos has admitted to embellishing parts of his personal and professional resume, but Romney said they are lies, not embellishments. To embellish, he said, is to say you got an A instead of an A-."Lying is saying you graduated from a college you didn't even attend.
Santos lied that he graduated from college and was a volleyball star, a Wall Street resume that did not exist, his ancestry and more. He is facing the most legal scrutiny, at the local and federal levels, for his campaign finances.As Romney entered the House chamber Tuesday night, he told Santos he didn't belong in Congress.
"I didn't expect that he'd be standing there trying to shake hands with every senator and the president of the United States," Romney said to reporters after the State of the Union. Given the investigations facing him, including a House Ethics complaint,"he should be sitting in the back row and staying quiet instead of parading in front of the president and people coming into the room.
