Scandal-hit New York Rep. George Santos was the guest speaker at a meeting of the Washington DC Young Republicans group last night.
The 34-year-old was introduced to the stage of The Admiral in DuPont as “The Queen of New York City”.
Rather than draw upon his life experiences to give the audience some salient advice (i.e. don’t tell whopping lies on your résumé), Santos pointed to his life as an example of what one can achieve if one really sets one’s mind to it.
Santos urged them to “never give up. I want to see more of you guys in Washington. I want to sit next to members who are more my age and relate to my struggle.
“You guys need to get up, go back to your home district, run for office. And don’t let anyone tell you it’s not your turn to go to Congress. I didn’t wait until it was my goddamn turn. I’d never served in a single local elected position. I came here. It’s where I wanted to come!”
"Always remember to never give up.
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE! They'll have to drag my cold, dead body out of this institution."
–Congressman George Santos' inspirational remarks to the @WashingtonDCYRs
Lawmakers across the political divide have called upon Santos to resign since news of lies came to light. He is currently facing investigations both into his campaign finances and by the House Ethics Committee. Despite this, he recently announced his plan to stand for re-election in 2024.
Besides vowing to remain in Congress, Santos also reminded everyone yesterday that although he’s gay, he feels little affinity to the LGBTQ+ community.
“I will always stand up to the Radical rainbow mafia!” he tweeted. “I believe in the freedom to live and let live but will never bow to the indoctrination of the Rainbow Mafia. My flag is the AMERICAN FLAG. 🇺🇸”
I will always stand up to the Radical rainbow mafia!
I believe in the freedom to live and let live but will never bow to the indoctrination of the Rainbow Mafia.
Among those to praise Santos’ speech to Young Republicans was far-right Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, who simply said: “Based” (slang praise for someone being their unapologetic or un-woke self).
However, many others were quick to tell Santos to hush up. This included former state Pennsylvania lawmaker Brian Sims, who tweeted: “Honey, sit down. You’ve stolen every moment you’ve ever had, lied about every accomplishment you’ve ever had, and cheated to gain every position you’ve ever had. Your thoughts on anything related to equality, justice, or performative nationalism are as useful as your filter.”
George, you’re an out gay man railing against other members of the LGBTQ+ community for seemingly no reason. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Resign.
Santos also says he’s “certain” he’ll recover his credibility over time.
Don't forget to share:
Help make sure LGBTQ+ stories are being told...
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
Oh man, these Republicans prove to me daily that we Need. National Republican Purge Day to permanently get rid of these dirt bags. They offer absolutely nothing to society.
He thinks they’re going to give him a seat at the table. No, they’ll take his support, money and toss him when no longer useful. Pathetic liar. He even lied about not seeking reelection! No way that’ll happen.
So horrible to see delusion this raw. She got a taste of that $ and thought they would continue backing her as long as she sold her soul. The end is near. Won’t be long until she’s trying to get back into that red dress — begging Lady Bunny for a booking at The Monster bar.
Any chance we can stop giving these odious turds the attention they are seeking? If you are going to cover anything, how about the slate of new candidates who are going to run for that seat?
Gross beyond belief. I don’t know who is worse: Santos, who believes himself qualified to give a pep talk on following your dreams; or the snotty young republicans who invited him.
As dizzy as the Republicans in Kitara Ravache Santos’s district may be they aren’t so clueless as to send this grifter back to Congress in 2024, so everyone needs to take seriously her threats about not leaving office unless she’s carried out. I agree with RIGay about covering the candidates, Dem, GQP and otherwise, who are running to replace her, but also, why not write an article (or seek ChatGPT help to do so) on how the criminal proceedings against this lying right-wing grifter are going.
(And speaking of right-wing grifters, will Queerty ever report about Ari Alexander’s admissions about soliciting and trying to hook up with underage conservatives, or the ongoing dramas with his buddy pedo-praising ex-gay Milo Yiannopoulos and Incel White supremacist Nick Fuentes?)

Does she have any clue what the NYC Mafia do to fanooks like this one? Is he that dumb (yes).

He’s in his delusional era.

Once all the facts are in, Santos’s life will make terrific material for Ryan Murphy’s “American Crime Story.”

But you just described 99 per cent of the body politic. It’s what they do. Awful, isn’t it.
