Truth-adverse Long Island Rep. George Santos said Wednesday that “it wasn’t very Mormon” of Sen. Mitt Romney to berate him before President Biden’s State of the Union address the night before.
The Utah senator scolded the freshman lawmaker for taking a prime and highly visible spot along the House chamber’s center aisle as members of Congress arrived for Biden’s speech on Tuesday.
“You don’t belong here,” Romney told Santos, adding that the serial fabulist should sit in the back row, which sparked Santos to fire back Wednesday.
“It’s not the first time in history that I’ve been told to shut up and go to the back of the room, especially from people who come from a privileged background,” an emboldened Santos told reporters, according to video footage tweeted from an ABC News reporter.
