George Santos Seriously Thinks He’s the New Rosa Parks
“Rosa Parks didn’t sit in the back, and neither am I,” Santos said while sitting in the backseat of a vehicle.
Notorious political troublemaker Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has caused a stir after comparing himself to civil rights icon Rosa Parks, leaving many social media critics bewildered at the truth-averse congressman’s new level of self-righteousness.
A clip went viral Monday morning of Santos sitting in the backseat of a vehicle while being interviewed last week for Mike Crispi’s rightwing political podcast “Unafraid,” explaining how he handles Republican dissenters.
“They come for me, I go right back for them,” Santos said, “because they think for far too long they’ve gotten away with getting along to get along. So, no. It’s not going to stay that way anymore. I’m going to call them out: ‘You wanna call me a liar? I’ll call you a sellout.’”
Then, Santos blasted Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) for instructing him to not sit at the top of the aisle for President Joe Biden’s State of the Union in February. (Romney later said he called Santos an “ass” who doesn’t “belong here.”) Santos, being Latino and a gay man, said he wasn’t going to do that.
“Well, guess what? Rosa Parks didn’t sit in the back, and neither am I going to sit in the back!” Santos proclaimed. “That’s just the reality of how it works.”
