Disgraced congressman and alleged criminal George Santos knows how to generate attention: drama and outrageous lies. Santos’ shenanigans got him expelled from Congress, but so far, nothing can keep him out of the spotlight. His story is perfect fodder for old-man humor. For example, what if Santos said something else that’s obviously not true? Wouldn’t that be funny?
The answer is no, but some things are, indeed, hilarious about Santos. To his credit, he’s embraced his tarnished image and is using it to enormous financial and popular success while talking shit about all of his old colleagues. Most recently, he appeared for an interview on the show Ziwe, where the titular host is famous for humiliating her guests with scathing questions. Fortunately for Santos, you can’t embarrass a man who’s both shameless and self-aware.
Ziwe: What can we do to get you to go away?
George Santos: Stop inviting me to your gigs.
Ziwe: The lesson is to stop inviting you places?
George Santos: But you can’t cuz people want the content.pic.twitter.com/Osz05aw9qL— philip lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) December 18, 2023
