Ex-Congressman George Santos is on a revenge tour after Republicans lost the seat vacated by his expulsion — and blowing up the New York delegation group chat along the way.

In a text message to some of his former Republican colleagues, who joined state and local GOP leaders in disavowing him and spent months aggressively pushing for his ouster, Santos blamed them for costing the party a seat. Parts of the text chain, a screenshot of which Santos shared with Semafor, were first reported by The Daily Beast. Not everyone was on the list: Rep. Brandon Williams, R-N.Y. apparently didn’t merit a text.

“I hope you guys are happy with this dismal performance and your 10 million for futile Bull Shit cost the party,” he texted the entire New York Republican delegation. “I look very forward to most of you losing due to your absolute hate filled campaign to remove me from Congress arbitrarily. Now go tell the Republicans Base what you fucking idiots did and good luck raising money next quarter.”

Rep. Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., is the only member who appeared to reply: “Sorry, new phone, who dis?“ he texted. He did not respond to a request for comment.

1. I swear they need to compare Santos and Trump's DNA.

The personality resemblance is uncanny.

[oldsoftie]

17. Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

[FakeNoose]

2. We already knew he was totally unhinged

I hope this means George Santos is washed up with the Repuke Party.

[relayerbob]

3. They let him talk publicly, run for office, and join the group chat

Calling them fucking idiots is a little redundant

[mpcamb]

4. Santos, like trump, should be spending his time in court. Why isn't he?

Like, trump, he's a lifelong swindler with an arm-long list of misdeeds.
He needs to be called into account.

[oldsoftie]

18. Doesn't he have charges pending against him?

Last I heard thats why they finally gave him the boot

[Eugene]

30. As of a month ago, Santos/Devolder/Zabrovski was reportedly in plea negotiations.

5. F***ing idiots huh? Takes one to know one. I will be curious where George ends up professionally.

I still can't believe no one-- not the GOP, the Dem opposition research or media caught on to this fraud long before he got elected. Scary!

[ificandream]

6. You go, Georgie.

The is a very welcome message to Democrats of Republican disarray. The last person (well, one of the last) that Republicans want to hear from is Santos. I appreciate that Santos and Kevin McCarthy are on revenge tours. The recent resurgence of the Matt Gaetz investigation is thanks to McCarthy. I hope Santos can cause more damage to the GOP.

[oldsoftie]

19. So the Gaetz thing is back on again? Now THATS interesting!

How I'd love to see that arrogant prick get dropped.

7. As the tweet says--Santos is a poor loser just like his boss, citizen #Trump!!

8. Some people say that Republicans put party 1st, country 2nd. They're wrong

Them put themselves first, party second, and "country" is not even in the top 20.

[Cha]

24. Well Said, TC!!

[Torchlight]

9. He's handling his dramatic failure about as well as I guessed he would.

Maybe this is his audition to be rump's running mated.

[SouthernDem4ever]

10. He's really whacko bananas

A liar and a thief. He should have no platform for any reason to blather about others.

[SKKY]

11. Aren't they just adorable at this age??

Bless his heart.

[Srkdqltr]

12. So cute that he is right about idiots.

[Cha]

25. Santo needs to include himself.

[Srkdqltr]

31. Of course

[Paladin]

13. Go blow a bulldog, Santos. (nt)

[Cha]

26. omg.. my sense of humor.

[EarthFirst]

14. "Sorry, new phone, who dis?"

[skypilot]

16. Probably the funniest thing...

...a Republican has ever said.

[oldsoftie]

20. I know; thats hilarious. nt

[GenThePerservering]

28. And he was the only one to answer!

[Kid Berwyn]

15. George is advertising he's available for a draft.

When sick fuck ends up in prison, George Santos can step into the greasy hole and represent treason and fraud like nobody's business.

[TexasBushwhacker]

21. He seems nice ...

[area51]

22. Keep burning those bridges, Santos/DeVolder.

Dems are going to keep on winning.

[Cha]

27. Exactly.. that's what I think he's doing.

[LudwigPastorius]

23. They're just not that into you, George.

Don't be the stalker-after-the-breakup guy.

[Mz Pip]

29. They are idiots

So is Santos. Not mutually exclusive.

[keithbvadu2]

32. They loved him when they needed his vote. Especially Kevin15 and MRG.

His morals and integrity were just fine with them at that time.

[oldsoftie]

33. And didnt Geaetz recently wish he was still there? Or maybe Jordan.

Hard to tell the idiots apart these days

[Aristus]

34. I wish that slimy little shit would just go away.

n/t
