Both George Santos and Lauren Boebert had babies in Congress today......

Maybe it was Take a baby to Congress Day?



George Santos just left Tim Burchett’s office with a baby in his arms. When asked if it was his baby, he said “not yet.”

Why are George Santos and Lauren Boebert seen with babies in Congress?

Is this a new trend in the absence of a House Speaker, or is there another reason behind it?

Either way, you can't put lipstick on a pig and expect it to be anything but a pig.
