Sen. Mitt Romney told disgraced Rep. George Santos he didn’t “belong” in the House chamber in a tense exchange ahead of Tuesday’s State of Union address.
Romney scolded the freshman lawmaker for taking a prime and highly-visible, center-aisle seat in the chamber as members of Congress piled in for President Biden’s speech.
“You don’t belong here,” the Utah Republican said to Santos, who had admitted to lying about parts of past and is facing several investigations into his campaign finances.
The pair apparently exchanged words, though Romney later said he didn’t hear it all.
“He shouldn’t be in Congress, and they are going to go through the process and hopefully get him out,” Romney told reporters of the New York representative after the address. “But he shouldn’t be there, and if he had any shame at all he wouldn’t be there.”
Santos, also a Republican, took to Twitter to fire back at Romney.
“Hey @MittRomney just a reminder that you will NEVER be PRESIDENT!” he tweeted at the former presidential nominee.

With as much of a clown show congress is, I’d say let him sit as it suits congress fine!
One more clown hardly matters at this point except to illustrate the point.
Yes, Pierre, I'll grant you he was in the wrong place last night.
He belongs in the Oval Office.
A worthy successor to Joseph Biden.
That's Presidential material.
When he looks down from his mountain on us mere mortals, we look unworthy.
If lying disqualified you from being in congress than no politician would be there.
Confirmed that his undies are in a very tight wad at this time… what a puke.
Seriously. Its Mitt and the rest of these scumbags that opened the door for frauds like Santos to make the climb to the top. Now hes there theyre surprised and shocked?
…… now he’s surrounded by degenerates and liars….. whats the issue?
And neither do you Mitt.
He is a dirt bag.
And neither do you Mitt.
*********************************************************
I live in Utah, and this lying, disgusting ‘carpet bagger’ came into this State and is representing us??? NOT ME HE ISN’T...
No one voted for ‘trailer park Clinton’ as POTUS and no one in Utah voted for the dog killer, carptet bagger, liar, disgusting RAT ROMNEY...and his niece runs the RNC, that should tell you something, his time is limited, Utah can’t stand him, California people need to go back to California and vote for Smellosi’s nephew, they make a great pair...
Santos belongs there, more than useless turd in the punch bowl Mitt Romney
We must speak better of dirt!
:)
But Pierre has no strength for democrats. He just elevated Santos.
Says the guy occupying a seat in the Article II chamber world renowned for housing the highest concentration of professional gasbags, phoney and narcissists.
Pick on a virtue signaller your own size, Pierre!
I saw that as Romney walked in and knew something was going on. Name a time that Mitt has ever called out a Democrat? I dint think ever. Just people of his own party, even the US President who is in his party. The level of Narcissism is staggering. He calls out others when own character is so severely lacking.
You must be kidding.
Or at least unaware of how cunning a stunt Romney pulled in 2011-2012.
You don’t get to be Governor of Massachusetts unless you’re a Democrat:
The Mitt Romney Report
Mitt Romney’s record on a range of issues over the years as a Presidential candidate (2007-present), Governor of Massachusetts (Jan. 2003 - Jan. 2007), candidate for US Senate (1994), and businessman.

Right, and very well put.
Another way of looking at what Romney did is: It’s akin to the cause of a disease turning its nose up at the effect.
As long as he votes R I’m fine with him. For now. If lying is Romneys criteria maybe he should ask the good people of Utah how they feel bring lied to by him. When he ran fir office as a carpetbagger from every state but Utah, he told the skeptical people of Utah the if he ran/won he would not attack Trump. Well, we see how long that promised lasted. Romney is the most unprincipled being in Congress and that says a lot.
