Astronaut Scott Kelly took to Twitter on Tuesday to mock Rep. George Santos over his new committee assignments.
“Awesome to have former NASA astronaut and moon walker, Representative George Santos @Santos4Congress on the House Science Space and Technology Committee,” Kelly tweeted. “To infinity and beyond!”
Kelly is a retired astronaut who went to the International Space Station on three expeditions and spent a year in space. The tweet was a jab at Santos, who on Tuesday was tapped by House Republican leaders for seats on two House committees: one overseeing science, space, and technology, and another overseeing small businesses.
The tweet appeared to reference the embattled Santos’ many scandals. Santos has admitted to lying about going to university, being Jewish, and working at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.
