Mitt Romney tells George Santos ‘You don’t belong here’ at State of Union address
NY Post ^ | Feb 8 | By Allie Griffin

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.

Romney so brave. Shouldn’t he be saying this to the liar at the podium?

Santos makes a mockery of all these elitists who are openly destroying this nation. I say let him stay and continue to make fools of them all.

Romney is not a standard bearer for the Republican Party. HE needs to go. He is clueless

Willard had that planned out. He wanted to say it to someone else before anyone said it to him.

“Santos is a sociopath and a degenerate.”

So is Joe Biden, John Fetterman, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, Rashida Tlaib, Adam Schiff, Jerrold Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, Ilhan Omar, Sheila Lee, Eric Swalwell, Diane Feinstein, Barack Obama and the list goes on and on.

It’s not any more shameful he was seated than many, if not most, in office.

It is not like there is some standard of good character to be seated in the DC public offices. It actually may be quite the opposite judging by its seemingly preference for degenerate sociopaths.

Conservatives? Like Mitt Romney? His pals Lisa Murkowski who told voters in Alaska that she would vote with Joe Biden if she won again so she could get the Democrat vote over Kelly Tskibaka a very conservative, excellent candidate whom Mitch McConnell torpedoed financially and thru negative ads against her? Or Joe Manchin, Mitt’s new buddy? Ask the Cinservative voters of Utah what they think of Mitt.

Good character still matters. We’ve now devolved into 5 year olds. They do it, so it’s okay.
“You’re a doo-doo head”
“I know I am, but what are you”
God help us all.

Not in reality.

Can you point to one person in office attacking Santos who has the so-called good character you’re speaking of?

I don’t care who is attacking Santos, he’s a loose cannon. Just because Trump had him and his partner at his 2021 New Years Eve party doesn’t excuse the lies and lack of character. The dude is an embarrassment.

Takes a pariah to recognize a pariah - the irony is that even the lowest of the low doesn’t give Mittens the high ground...😎

"One more clown hardly matters at this point except to illustrate the point."

Exactly right.

Romney’s approval rating as Mass governor was 30% when he left office.
