#NBCNews #GeorgeSantos #MittRomney
I bet the secret service told Maggie Green leave her gun at home or else. 😁
Way to go, Mitt! I continue to admire you as a man of character. You are one of the extremely few Republicans who is.
Santos is one of the Gworls 😭😭😭😭
Santos is such a drag……….queen on that party! sHe is an utter embarrassment!
Romney 2024!
No one wants him in Congress. He was elected on lies that should disqualify him immediately!
Romney is a neo con globalist that is owned by the military industrial complex. He will send you to die for a buck.
Mitt Romney lied that he is a Republican so I guess he shouldn’t be there either.
Biden is still alive?
lmaoooo how does anyone know what Romney said, like any of those people around him are gonna spill the tea ☕
I’d vote for Romney over anyone else in that party and I’m not even republican
Thank you, Mitt Romney! You have the ethics and the guts much needed in Congress.
Why Santos is still there ??
Bunch of war criminals
All politicians lie , it’s just not ok for Santos to lie. BS
A Jussie Smollett moment. Santos will claim he has PTSD following this vicious attack by the nicest man in Congress. What a sap. Always the victim 🙄
If i have a problem, law, health, econ, i will not ask my grandpa for answers.
Our president isn’t a grandpa, he’s just sad to watch at his age 🙁
Not a fan of Mitt, but good for him.. Santos needs to go
State of the Union couple of sentences: we raised the debt ceiling, default is coming, goodbye.
Romney has to look in the mirror too. Back at you, Mittens.
Romney, it’s hilarious how NBC News Chuck Todd drools over how Mitt sticks it to Santos. Mitt’s the Republican’s Fetterman. All rich, not bright
Romney is deepstate garbage as well…
Joe Biden did the same thing as Santos, only he did it during a presidential run. The hypocrisy of the establishment is unbelievable. Oh and Biden eulogized a KKK member.
I wonder if Biden mumbles during conversation as well. If so it must be incredibly awkward to speak to him 😂
Mitt for President!
Let voters impeaching him.
Perhaps you don’t belong in Utah sINator!
Americas traitors gathered in one place
Santos is what usa gets when the USA media doesn’t do their job. Figure that
Joe needs to go🇺🇲🇺🇲
I love how everyone is so bent out of shape about this spy balloon.
“China is spying on us.” Yeah they are, and so is Russia, and probably half the developed world to some extent. And have been doing so for decades. We spy on them too. And then you’re worried about a balloon , when they have SATELLITES.
I swear people don’t have brains anymore.
Russia gained our computers in 2016 election.
He should have included Boebert & Marjorie Taylor Green
Mitt you are a corrupt Mormon and give them a bad name he who is without sin let him cast the first stone none of you are able 🇺🇲✝️⏳
Bidens done worse things… boot them both from government.
Mitt is right for a change.
Yes China might be spying on us he they could be spying on us all. But certainly not with a balloon I know that for a fact
They have all the satellites there you know can pick up any any location you know so if they want to spy on the states. Why would they need a balloon?
That doesn’t make any sense to me you know it just doesn’t I highly doubt that balloon was meant to spy on anybody I think it was just an ordinary balloon in the sky you know like everybody else that releases balloons in the sky you know it’s just that one was a big one that’s all
But I’d be more concerned about our neighbours spying on us you know you’re most likely to get the guy next-door spying on you through your ring cam or your baby monitor you know when you hear those creepy voices contacting your children or anyone in your house. Yeah that’s what I mean
So she’s definitely wrong I mean there’s more citizens in the states spying on the people that are just living their lives in peace then there is a government anywhere else in this world. I think China spying on people is the least of our worries
Think about all the people who got into your security systems and started talking to your children and saying creepy things or to your cousins or Aunts and uncles you know. And start saying creepy things
So I don’t think China is the most we need to worry about right now when it’s the neighbours that live in just ordinary houses are the ones that are spying on people. So to say China is spying on us is an understatement it’s a big understatement to me
I would be more afraid of the people next-door in my opinion so instead of looking all the way across the world. Look at the neighbours that are beside people because they could be hacking into peoples security systems right now and speaking to their children and saying creepy things you know. We need to think about that you know
I mean to me saying that China is spying on us is like complaining about your neighbours grass. That did happen in Toronto where people complained about their neighbours synthetic grass. And I think he would have to go to court to fight that
I don’t think the judge is going to fall for that he might say this is stupid. I feel the same way about China it’s stupid it’s a stupid way of thinking and I don’t believe it from one second that they’re spying on us with a balloon that is mean come on
They have everything they have lotta computer equipment that they can use to spy on Canadian government or the American government. So they don’t need a balloon they certainly don’t I can tell you that right now
So you people need to get it out of your heads if you believe that then get it out of your heads because it’s not it’s not what it is it’s not a spy balloon I can tell you that right now. It’s just a regular ordinary balloon it’s just big it’s a big big big balloon that’s all you know that’s all it is it’s just a huge balloon OK
TROPAS DE UCRANIA EJECUTAN UN SOLDADO RUSO DESARMADO DESPUES DE RENDIRSE.
Honestly, who cares what he says in private? It’s HIS party. Unless the other members stand up and do the right thing, they’re all guilty. Doing the bare minimum should not be cause to celebrate a leader. How far have republicans fallen from their moral grandstanding when they can’t even bring themselves to do the right thing. The party of personal responsibility and moral righteousness collapses when they have to take responsibility and be moral. Blatant hypocrites. Each and every single one.
Republicans voted for Santos just like they voted for MTG and Boebert. Don’t try to distance yourselves now. You chose these dogs, so lie with them.
LA CENSURA TIENE LA CULPA DE TODOS LOS GENOCIDIOS QUE SOLO CON ELLA FUERON POSIBLES COMO EL DE ESPAÑA.
Biden does not belong in the White House either!
They’re literally keeping an Amoral, pathological liar, with a narcissistic personality in Congress. Are they mad? Mitt Romney I applaud you for that comment👏👏👏 They lack moral fortitude to condemn this wickedness!!
Look at the pot calling the kettle black.
No matter what Santos was voted in. Romney has no right to tell him he doesn’t belong there.
First time I’ve agreed with that Mormon dude.
ANYONE over 60 doesn’t belong in Congress.
Every Democrat is a liar. Every one of you. Sick puppies one and all.
George Scamtos’ antics are becoming nauseating. He must think the Congress is a joke. One cannot blame anyone for being ambitious, but not knowing anything about courtesy and etiquette is mind-boggling. I have come to know Americans as being forgiven. It is easy to feel sympathy for someone who is contrite, but his arrogance and fake machismo are bewildering
Romney is the one who doesn’t belong, he is the worst.
Who’s this google gobble neck with bifocals on. I swear I hate humans. You got people who think they’re better than others. The Bible called it. You wanted to vote for people to rule over you and you got it. Not me though
He doesn’t either!!!!
This whole government is corrupt.. corrupt calling the corrupt,corrupt!!!
I think Santos is a democrat posing as a republican
Yeah Santos is a shill. But how do you ignore our pathological potus? He can’t stop lying and he’s convinced he’s telling the truth.
The list of lies is staggering. Santos pales in comparison.
Huh a conman and a liar,take a good look around Washington and that room is full of them let’s be honest here
Cons telling cons they don’t belong
Look in the Mirror Mitt
its pathetic , biden is so American its ironically sad as
That’s not what he meant when he said “here.” He meant in that spot.That he should be sitting in the back row keeping his lying mouth shut.But.The lying queen doesn’t belong in congress either so…😡
Mitt Romney is still a flake. He’s honestly worse than santos.
Mitt needs to remember Santos was elected by the public Noone cares about his opinion
Get Jomboy to read their lips.
Santos is basically the 2.0 version of Frank Abagnale Jr. (AKA Catch me if you can.)
EL APOCALIPSIS DE SAN JUAN.
LOS DEMONIOS NAZIS ASESINOS NOS CORTARON EL INTERNET.
OREMOS TODOS QUE ES YA EL FIN.
I can’t stand either one of them.
TVE ES EL PORTAVOZ DE LOS CRIMINALES NAZIS GENOCIDAS LA VOZ.
I wish Mitt would say that to MTG … Gaetz … and wrestling ostrich Jim _I saw nothing_ Jordan
Santos’ New York constituents : “ George, you would be wise to stay out of your district!”
CON LA CENSURA EN ESPAÑA LOS CRIMINALES TAPAN GENOCIDIOS CON ELLA.
TREMENDO LOS ASESINADOS EN ESPAÑA SON YA BILLONES A PAGAR POR EL ESTADO A SUS FAMILIAS MAS QUE EL PRESUPUESTO DE USA UNA DEUDA INMENSA IMPAGABLE POR ESPAÑA.
So glad and thankful that wicked Witch Nancy Pelosi is out of office!!
If anybody still thinks Biden is doing a good job then I nominate Mumbles for president.
I’m really not sure who would want a Party that doesn’t have “divides”? Do we really want to elect a body that all want the same ideas, same direction and no opposition to anything? If you wants no division then you are clearly pro-cult.
How bad did the Democrat running against Santos have to be to lose to Santos? 😮
This stuff is way better than soap operas.
I agree with Senator Romney. George Santos does not belong in DC. But neither does he.
Good for him! Get him out
Neither does Romney, guy moves state to state to make getting elected easier, lies about other politicians constantly, and is probably the fakest conservative rivaling Cheney.
Republikkkans are skkkum.
Will Mitt Romney be the next John McCain?
Kunut kelimesinin kökenini araştırmalısın.
George said that Mitt was mean to him, but later Kyrsten Sinema blew him, so it’s all good!!!
Mitt the savage.
Santos belongs with all the liars
It’s bipartisan. Ya don’t sign it
Romney needs to go too! He is far from a Republican. When you dish disrespect us for years you get it back! OH and NBC so one sided liberal.
Good
Seems like Santos fits right in. Ok, he hasn’t participated in a coup attempt or incited violence against his colleagues, but other than that he is well qualified to be a Republican in 2023.
The ironic part is Romney doesn’t belong in congress either. Another old relic neo-con who wants to steal all your social security and trash your healthcare.
there are very many who dont belong in congress
Most Republicans don’t belong in congress
Should twll that to mtg and bob
Romney doesn’t belong in the Senate
But this is the president of the United States krewlife about the death of his child who died of cancer and claimed that his child died in the Iraq war this is how Joe by the light to win a senate thoroughly erase he’s in the Senate where he lied about the death of his child of cancer she died in the Iraq war
Romey kis the one needs to go
I heard that Santos owes Romney $20 ! No wonder he’s angry! Santos actually has mucho support amongst most liar head congressmen. But some think he’s just a patsy. Anyway, he seems to be made of teflon because insults and threats just bounce right off! Another congress member gave him a big hug and said, “you’re a keeper!”. Wow. It’s so confusing!
God says Mittens is hiding something and he will expose it. Mittens doesn’t what it revealed. Mittens is a rino he is nothing but a dem
Santos absolutely doesn’t belong in congress or any public office. Romney’s not wrong on this one.
