Meghan McCain’s interview with George Santos just before he was expelled from Congress hasn’t aged well
A post shared by Rep. George Santos (@rep.georgesantos)If George Santos needs a shoulder to cry on following his expulsion from Congress, he can always run to Meghan McCain!Our favorite disgraced diva was voted out of Congress on Friday, with more than 100 Republicans joining Democrats to oust the serial liar, making him only the sixth lawmaker ever to be ousted from the chamber.
A mere one month earlier, Santos appeared on McCain’s podcast, where he played the victim card to a tee. In a desperate attempt for relevancy, John McCain’s daughter was more than happy to serve as his sounding board.“When we started this podcast, we had a list of people we wanted to interview.
One of those figures was Congressman George Santos, because he’s a very controversial, household name in politics,” she said at the start of the show. “My goal here is to author a safe environment for people of all backgrounds.
While I may not agree with everything they say here or have done, I believe they should have the opportunity to share their side of the story.”McCain referenced Santos’ notoriety many times during the hour-long softball conversation without ever mentioning why he’s so notable.“We’re all just so interested in your career, and you have really fascinating viral moments,” she said. “I feel like there are a lot of misconceptions about you, and people don’t really know you.”It’s true that we don’t know Santos… because everything he’s told us about himself is a lie–from his business record, to Jewish heritage, to his mother dying on 9/11, and so on.But the death knell for the freshman rep came earlier this month, when the House Ethics Committee released a damning report about his allegedly illegal practices and behavior.
