George Santos has beentrending nonstopafter being expelled from Congress last week for multiple violations including allegedlyspending campaign fundson Botox, OnlyFans, and Hermés.
Santos’s antics have seemingly made him a pop culture phenomenon. Since being expelled last week, he’s been offered an interview with late-night comedy talk show host Ziwe, AND he’s now reportedly charging$200 for Cameofan videos.
