George Santos challenges Rep. Nick LaLota in another shot at Congress after expulsion | NBC New York

Former U.S. Rep. George Santos has announced he is running for Congress again. Santos posted Thursday night on X that he will challenge fellow Republican Rep. Nick LaLota. LaLota represents a district on New York’s Long Island that is different from the one Santos represented before he was expelled. Santos made the announcement after attending President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address and mingling with former colleagues who had voted to kick him out of Congress.

LaLota was a leader of the effort to expel Santos. He says he welcomes the chance to beat Santos in a primary.

This is why the system is broke. Corruption goes back in, snubbing his nose at the taxpayers.

those people that's behind him are lunatics ... 😂😂

[moniqueclinton]

Everyone behind bars should be free if these 2 can run for offices all the crimes they both committee. Scary.

[kelleywyskiel]

Our country has the most insanely unregulated political system….

[brandiwine]

He feels if Trump can run this way, he can too! Absolutely ridiculous!

[Ysmir_The_Ancient]

How is Santos allowed to run again in any district!!??

[Gump-tion]

George Santos, if thats even his real name, is such a phony

[micadd]

I think the Botox has gone to his brain…

[jameshylander]

He's hoping to have better luck than the carpet bagger in Colorado

[alexandrawhitelock]

He just can, t quit 🙄🤦‍♀️. He must live in a fantasy world…

[Boner_Champ]

When he’s running he’s gonna say that it’s “election interference” once he’s on trial for his crimes. 😂

[ollieox]

He's awfully puffed-up with his own imaginary importance and imaginary skills.

[undiscloseduser]

When the camera cut to him for a split second yesterday during the state of the union address, I was shocked he was even allowed in the room, absolutely gross.

[LauraSantos-ozdm]

He should look for a district in Bora Bora.

[srinivasamayanna]

He is learning from his guru, Donald Trump. 2 face of the same coin! 😂

[JoseRafael-ocxu]

This is relatively unimportant news. It is more important to comment on strategies to implement for the purpose of ensuring that this disgraced grifter and the disgraced former president never hold office again, and that they are held responsible for their crimes.

[dagmarbrown]

Oh heck no! He shouldn't be allowed to run for a dog fight!😂😂😂 a joke.

[eric]

WITH WHAT MONEY? Who did he steal it from this time?

[ThreeRunHomer]

The Conspiracy Nut Party is always good for a laugh.

[meshuggah]

Aw, that's adorable. You keep on doing your best, little guy!
