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.

Does he have any comments on Joe Biden’s lies?
Romney and his niece are bigger embarrasments.
Tossing Santos to satify the holier than thou only means the Demoncrats get closer to retaking the House.
Remember the pirate LaFitte(sic) was enlisted by the colonists ; and”Uncle Joe” Stalin our WW2 good buddy?
It is enough that Santos vote Republican AND conservative; if he does he will be superior to the Mormon fraudster.
I agree. Romney is the one out of place in the senate. George Santos is a known liar, as is Joe Biden and almost all of his administration. The voters who put Santos in office know what to expect of him and will probably pay more attention to what he does . Romney roams around looking for undeserved attention that bolsters his self righteous opinion of himself. Santos belongs in his congressional seat as much as Biden and Kamala belong in theirs. Liars are liars, whatever their social standing.
ET TU ROMNEY!
I hope Santos told Romney not the get his panties in a twist.
