George Santos Issues a Memorable Line
'You can't make this crap up' GOP lawmaker-elect accused of lying says as House votes on speaker

"Santos rose from his seat for only a moment to briefly say his vote before sitting back down, clearly eager to avoid attention," the Independent notes. His day didn't seem to get much better from there, with many observing that he appeared to be sitting by himself all day, and that he seemed to miss his own name being called—twice—during a subsequent vote. As the week progressed, however, Santos appeared to loosen up and even tried to mingle. "I see on CSPAN that George Santos is making friends," tweeted Washington Post reporter Jonathan Capehart, noting that Santos was spotted sitting at one point with fellow GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

He also showed up on the periphery of Republican circles engaged in intense-looking conversations about, ostensibly, the House speaker elections, though observers poked fun of his attempts. On Thursday, Slate reporter Jim Newell picked up on what may have been Santos' most meta line so far of his congressional career, overhearing the Republican say to another member about the week's proceedings as they walked past Newell: "You can't make this crap up."

11. Don't sell yourself short, George.

You can, and have, made up much worse than that. Seeing that you're now a republican congressman, you've lost your amateur status, and are now a professional liar. 😒
