that you see here which happened on the floor last night. after the president delivered his state of the union that romney was asked about what he said to george santos. he criticized him for standing so close to the aisle that president walks down. i didn t expect he would be standing there trying to shake hands with every senator and the president of the united states. given the fact that he is under ethics investigation as can you see, he should stand quiet. he said he embellished the record. em embellishing is saying you got an a when you got an a minus. lying is saying you graduated from a college you didn t even attend. he shouldn t be in congress. joining us now is republican congressman from new york. his district borders george santos district. he attended his first state of the union address last night. let s start with george santos. is mitt romney right? he s right. i ve been clear he does not deserve to be in congress. he lied time and again.
