George Santos Announces New Run for Congress
Three months after former Rep. George Santos’ colleagues expelled him for a staggering array of alleged crimes and ethical violations, he has apparently decided that man cannot live by Cameo alone—and he wants his job back.
At least, Santos is officially running for Congress again, allowing him to raise money from the public and, potentially, spend it on his legal defense.
Santos—an admitted liar who is currently indicted on 23 federal counts, including unemployment fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, stealing from his own campaign donors, and lying to Congress—timed his announcement for maximum disruption: In the middle of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.
In fact, Santos wouldn’t even be tied for this ignominious record, because Trafficant made another stab at his old seat in 2010, losing again to Ryan. The other expelled member, former Rep. Michael “Ozzie” Myers, recidivated, pleading guilty in 2022 to election fraud for stuffing ballots for Democrats in Pennsylvania between 2014 and 2018. He’s currently serving out the tail end of a 30-month prison sentence.
Still, the announcement caught many of Santos’ former colleagues by surprise—though it was in keeping with his well-established pattern of false statements: He had previously claimed that he would not be running for re-election in his New York House seat.

I wondered what he was doing there last night. Who in hell let him in? My guess is the Dems.

Looks like he has gained weight.
I read somewhere that he still has access to the Congress floor as an ex-congressman.
EDIT: Ooops - he did say that in teh video.

I would think that getting stripped of the office would also strip him a f those privileges?
