‘You don’t belong here’: Romney and Santos in tense State of Union exchange
Guardian ^ | 2/7/2023 | Martin Pengelly

...On Tuesday night, as senators entered the House chamber before Biden’s speech began, Santos and Romney were seen to speak for about 10 seconds.

Efforts at lipreading spread across the internet. Most thought Romney said “You ought to be embarrassed”, or similar. CNN reported that someone who witnessed the exchange said Romney told Santos: “You don’t belong here.”

Santos continued speaking to Romney as the senator walked away.

After Biden’s speech, in a scrum of reporters, Romney was asked about the exchange. Confirming he said “You don’t belong here,” he added: “He shouldn’t be in Congress.”

He got the votes and meets the Constitutional requirements. As such he had just as much a right to “be there” as Pierre Delecto, who, it should be added, can stuff it.

I believe rather poster was referring to Romney never telling Biden that HE didn’t belong despite all of Biden’s lies, bullying and plagiarizing.

It takes scum like Mitt to make Santos sympathetic.

Mitt is literally everything that is wrong with the Republican establishment.

He’s a crook.

He’s a fake pious asshole.

He’s disloyal.

He’s a snob.

Fully agree! Unless he lied about his name too. What if he isn’t George Santos? Can then some guy whose name really is George Santos just show up in Congress as that’s who the people voted for?

And that’s probably why Glenn Beck had a replica of the Oval Office built for himself.

I’m sure he’s a believer in “The White Horse Prophecy”.

(which is completely false)

You gotta kinda admire George Santos, in a manner of speaking, for the way he only just barely shows contrition for his path to elective office, and for the sheer brassy attitude of “So what!”

That aside, he will probably serve the full two years, and if not primaried out, will be subject to one of the most vicious and cutting attacks by Democrat Socialists and the entire spectrum of the media.

“I suppose the voters can decide”

Are you implying that the voting is suddenly not crooked?

A full-blown neocon like you would never want it to be about Romney.

.
Yet Romney defends every Lie Joe makes up for 40 years.

They celebrate Joe. You could see that at the SOTU.

Joe lies every effin day.

Joe says you can’t leave McDonalds for a 10 cent raise at Burger King.

But, he fixed it!

And he complains of some not paying taxes, when his pride and junkie didn’t pay taxes on his payoffs.

Neither of them belong there. Hey Mitt, looks like the Bidens we’re passing classified info for a seat at the Burisma board for Hunter, how about your affiliation?

Santos, Biden, AOC, Talib, Schumer, etc are all liars of the same mold. The only difference is the media protects the others and focuses on Santos.

If there was anyone who didn’t belong in the U.S. Capitol last night, it was Mitt Romney. He is a Massachusetts U.S. Senator who is pretending to represent the state of Utah.

Actually, mittens is taking the grift. The real question is how much Mitt’s son is raking in, because he is Mitt’s son

I’m a republican . I believe in biblical morals. But is interesting to see one republican adopt democratic values to win. I don’t condone it for we must all ultimately give an actor ourselves.
