Truth-challenged out Rep. George Santos (R-NY) found himself unable to answer a single question about his many public lies after CNN anchor Erin Burnett played a compilation of clips that led to Santos being investigated by a House Ethics Panel.
Then there’s the 13-count indictment he’s facing, including charges of fraud and misusing campaign funds.
From The Daily Beast:
“Erin, you know what would be great? I’m not deflecting, but I’m just going to call you out here and CNN. Have you brought Joe Biden on the network and spoken about all the things he’s said across the last 46 years?” said Santos.
Burnett countered by mentioning the president was “completely irrelevant” to her question—and that he had been informed prior to the interview that she planned to ask a variety of questions about his past statements and political fortunes.
I encourage you to watch the clips below. Erin Burnett doesn’t suffer fools gladly, and it’s entertaining to watch Santos bluster his way through the segment – until Burnett finally tires of his lies and brings it to a close.
lmao CNN put together a highlight reel of some of George Santos’s most outlandish lies and confronted him with it. Santos responds by bashing CNN. pic.twitter.com/YltRCVlFkE
