— Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, chided Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., on Tuesday night ahead of President Joe Biden's address in what appeared to be a tense exchange on the House floor.

Santos, who has faced calls to resign after he admitted having lied about much of his background, had positioned himself along the chamber's middle aisle ahead of Biden's speech. Lawmakers will often choose to sit along the aisle for the State of the Union so they can greet and shake hands with the president as he enters and walks toward the dais.

As senators made their way into the House, Romney had a brief exchange with Santos, who looked annoyed as Romney walked away. Romney spoke to reporters about the interaction after Biden's address.

"Given the fact that he’s under ethics investigation, he should be sitting in the back row and being quiet instead of parading in front of the president," he added.

1. "Mittens" was wrong about that..........

Santos should be sitting in some cell in Brazil for fraud - or on some curb in New York for lying his way into a seat in the United States government!

8. Good on Romney calling that creepy

asshole out.. and Explaining the Difference Between Lying & embellishing.

Embellishing is when you say you got an A and you really got an A-..

Lying is when you say you graduated from a University and you didn't even go to the School.

That may not be verbatim.

TY, Nevilledog

5. Senator Romney, since you were such a big cheerleader for

Citizens United, aren't you kinda responsible for Santos being there in the first place, dark money and all?

to pose this very question.
