Fetterman Pays Santos to Record Support Video for Indicted Menendez, Highlighting Ironies Amid Calls for Resignations
-
John Fetterman paid for George Santos to record a Cameo video message of support for Senator Bob Menendez, who is facing corruption charges. This was done somewhat jokingly/trolling given both Menendez's and Santos' legal troubles.
-
Santos told Menendez to "stand your ground" against "haters" trying to bring him down over his indictment.
-
Ironically, Santos had previously defended Menendez's right to due process when the charges were first brought.
-
Fetterman has called for Menendez's resignation and said he does "more sinister" things than Santos, questioning why Menendez can remain while Santos was expelled.
-
Menendez is accused of taking bribes to help businessmen and lobby for Egypt; he denies wrongdoing and faces reelection and primary challenges in 2024.
