George Santos grabbed a premier center aisle seat ahead of SOTU but some didnt shake his hand

Embattled Rep. George Santos grabbed a premier center aisle seat ahead of President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address.

That seating put him in a prime position to shake some hands.

But he soon discovered that not everyone, including some Republicans, was interested in seeing him.



=====

But several senators were visibly uninterested, particularly Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah.



Other dignitaries who passed by Santos also passed over him, even as they shook hands with Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, seated on the other side of him. Among them was Vice President Kamala Harris.

Republicans such as Mitt Romney , should take issue with Kevin McCarthy for allowing Santos to be seated in the first place despite the baggage he brings to the House Chamber. The investigations surrounding Santos, the voters who feel conned by his lies, should take umbrage in knowing many of these same voters also voted for TDFG in 2016 and 2020.

Elections have consequences.

Problem is, he can't do anything about it. Only McCarthy can.

Apparently the man is totally shameless. You'd think that given the circumstances, he would want to keep a low profile. Evidently, his need for attention outweighs any commonsense or embarrassment.
