‘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.”

Mittens won’t talk to Democrats like that

Yeah and he does not even have to go to the other chamber to find that scum bag creep liar Blumenthal.

Elections have consequences. If Santos runs in 2024, the voters can decide if they want to keep him in that role. And it becomes more obvious each election cycle that the voters don’t care about a person’s morals when they decide who to vote for.

A two-faced traitor like Mitt has no standing to criticize anyone.

If we lose Santos the house majority will be down to +3.

Keep him in the house and have a Republican primary him in ‘24.

The D’s would pat the guy on the back!

Santos lying pales to the Mitt the $#*+ lying running as a conservate with a Trump endorsement.

Santos should throw this in his face and offer to resign if Romney does likewise.

Any time Mitt makes the news, its because he’s self-righteously attacking Republicans and conservatives.

A hive of scum and villainy.

Mitt feels right at home.
Enough so to declare that he belongs and another does not.

That’s entitled scum that Banana Republican party pawned off as Presidential material.

If Santos was a democrat not only would he belong there he’d be assigned to the ethics committee.

I forgot “he’s a prig”.

Literally the only USA Republican candidate I couldn’t vote for.

I even managed to vote McCain in hopes he would die.

I get it that Biden doesn’t belong there, but Westbrook made it seem that Romeny NEVER said it to Santos.

He did it for the cameras, because his mission is to be the next John McCain.

Mittens wouldn’t say that to the Democrats that lied and cheated.

Romney and Lurch don’t belong in congress either but there they are.

There are so many who really don’t belong there at all.
