George Santos: Make the AR-15 the 'National Gun of the U.S.'

"Long Island Congressman George Santos has stunned the New York political establishment by backing a bill to make the AR-15 assault rifle the "national gun of the United States."

Gov. Kathy Hochul calls the move "disgusting."

As CBS2 political reporter Marcia Kramer reports, you'd think that with all the controversy surrounding his election, Santos would try to keep a low profile in Washington and try to impress his leery constituents with his legislative prowess. But just when you expected him to zig, he zagged and fell into the open arms of the far right wing."

Seriously, mental health exams need to done before you can run for office. This is ridiculous.

[dhanso]

He's doing the classic bait and switch to get us to forget him lying about everything. I can't friggin believe he's still a congressman.

[greyskies]

He wants to do something for service dogs? How about paying back the money he stole from a homeless Veteran for his service dog

My poli sci prof in college said that as long as you spew the right rhetoric, the Right doesn't care if you're gay, black, muslim, or eat babies and smoke crack, you will still be accepted. He said that in 1982.

[eleanorwittering]

I'm sure his constituents love him more now than yesterday!

Fun fact: George Santos actually invented the AR-15.

Santos has done some crazy lying things but this idea is insane.

[RR-iqze]

My heart sinks to my intestines when I hear things like this. OMG.

[mommar]

Guy doesn't even know his own opinion, bc it changes depending on what he thinks he can gain in the moment. It's beyond lacking integrity, it's easy to speculate, that it's clinical.

[tigercatjones]

Let me guess, Santos will shortly receive a pink Hello Kitty version of the AR-15 platform with an accompanying pink ballistic vest, pink special operator helmet, and a few pairs of pink knee pads which he'll treasure above everything else.

[kaleidoset]

The U.S. should make George Santoz a National prisoner.

[lamarstingleyresolutions]

Why can’t we get rid of these people who are fully and completely unqualified and outright liars ❓‼️

[lamontwaters]

If "Lying George Santos" is backing you then you must be on the wrong side of the argument.

[merricc]

Just another gem from the Gaslighting Ol’ Party

[Braun]

Why can't he propose the "national condom" because his parents didn't use it?

[barriewright]

That's absolutely crazy and madness. Why what's the point of doing this.

[davidmcfatridge]

Russian oligarchy money is supporting the GOP

[joshfromga]

I wouldn't go so far as to refer to Boebert as "sentient" in any context...

[CJ-mxij]

I love "open him with welcome arms"! That statement is inadvertent genius, Cenk!
