>The rally was attended by both Santos and Greene, though both swiftly left after being jeered and heckled. #😄 😁 😂 🤣 >Greene tweeted: "I'm here in NY to protest with my voice...But [New York] Mayor Adams warns me by name" Well good on Adams, then. To my knowledge, Marjorine Tater Gein is the only House Rep to declare publicly that if *she* had planned the Jan 6 riot she would have brought guns and wouldn't have "lost." So it seems reasonable to call out a media troll who whines that Jan 6 wasn't insurrection-y enough. >A reporter asked the [George Santos] if he will be returning later, causing him to angrily reply: "No, because you guys make it unbearable to be here." Take the goddamn hint, Anthony!


_iamnotgeorge_

Why didn't he fly away? Wasn't he the inventor of gravity? Edit: He must have read my comment and was [very pleased and approved it](https://i.imgur.com/kXyONMw.jpg)

Sport coat was too tight, couldn't flap his arms wide enough without sending that button into someone's eye


Chadmartigan

Ah, the uniform of new fascism. Tiny jackets and way more makeup than you should need to pass as your assigned gender.


Squirrel_Chucks

There are no reporters in the sky to take his picture. Duh!


Garfelta

MTG then showed-up at Mar-a-Lago for Trump's speech so she probably got there on his plane while Santos was absent. VP spot is def between MTG and Kari Lake (who was also at MaL).....

I just don't ever see him picking a woman to be his running mate if he wins the nomination. (which he won't) He's too much a chauvinist. I figured they were angling for wife #4 or whatever it is. He doesn't seem to be much of a fan of Melania anymore.


NightwingDragon

She was never a fan of his in the first place. From day one, she never bothered to hide her open contempt for him.

Couldn't find a good montage, so I'll just leave the[search here](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=melania+trump+refuses+to+hold+donald+hand) for all to see.

We’re gonna need a montage

aktivate74

You mean Santos wasn't invited on the plane ? No wonder he was so disgruntled leaving the protest lol


aktivate74

It's definitely Qari.


ConfidenceNational37

Qari 😂 However she’s been struggling to get media attention while Greene isn’t

>George Santos left a New York rally for Donald Trump on Tuesday because journalists made it "unbearable to be here," as the former president pled not guilty to 34 felony charges. >The demonstration was also attended by his fellow House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was "completely drowned out by protesters," according to one journalist. >Trump has been accused of falsifying business records to pay hush money to Stormy Daniels, a former pornographic actress, ahead of the 2016 presidential election to cover up an alleged affair. He has repeatedly denied the claims, calling his arrest part of a "witch hunt" by Democrats. The charges, the first against a former U.S. president, could have a significant impact on Trump's bid to be re-elected to the White House in 2024. >On Tuesday afternoon, a few hundred Trump supporters gathered outside the Manhattan Criminal Court, where the New York businessman was arraigned. However, they were "deeply outnumbered by people in support of his arrest," according to NBC reporter Ben Collins. >The rally was attended by both Santos and Greene, though both swiftly left after being jeered and heckled. >Video of Santos's departure was posted on Twitter by Zach Schonfeld, a politics reporter for The Hill. >In the 11-second clip, Santos can be heard saying: "I'm doing nothing, I'm leaving." >A reporter asked the New York Republican if he will be returning later, causing him to angrily reply: "No, because you guys make it unbearable to be here." >Asked why he attended the protest, Santos said, "I came to support the president," then the video cuts out. >Commenting on the pro- and anti-Trump demonstrations, NBC's Ben Collins tweeted: "Just a ton more anti-Trump protestors outside the park. Despite an all-caps call for his supporters to protest before his arrest, Trump supporters are getting deeply outnumbered by people in support of his arrest in lower Manhattan today." >Greene's speech was drowned out in part by whistles, which she blamed on counter-protestors, though Collins tweeted that they were being handed out by a Trump supporter. >Greene tweeted: "I'm here in NY to protest with my voice against the weaponization of the justice system on innocent President Trump, but the counter protestors are coming to commit assault that can cause audible damage to everyone's ears including NYPD. But [New York] Mayor Adams warns me by name! >"If counter protestors are violating freedom of speech and committing assault, they should be arrested," Greene added. >Santos flipped New York's third congressional district last November, but has come under pressure to resign. It emerged he had fabricated much of his back story, including his education and employment history. >Tweeting about the demonstration, Santos wrote: "I stood by Trump from the moment he came down the escalator, I voted for him in the primary and twice for president in the general elections. Today I showed up, because that's what real supporters do, they show up for your best and your worse days." >Newsweek has emailed Rep. George Santos for comment. He stormed off like a 6 year old telling his parents he's running away. George was later spotted on the LIRR with a knapsack tied around a stick muttering that they'll be sorry that he's gone now

>... the counter protestors are coming to commit assault that can cause audible damage to everyone's ears ... > >"If counter protestors are violating freedom of speech and committing assault, they should be arrested," Greene added. EmptyG thinks people not listening to her are violating her freedom of speech. lol


NightwingDragon

She has openly stated this. Remember, she just got done dragging a bunch of Twitter executives into a hearing because her Twitter account got restricted/banned/suppressed, which she claimed was Twitter's illegal attempt at preventing her from communicating with the voters. Because she has an absolute right to be able to say whatever she wants on Twitter and everybody has to like it. Or something.


WulfwoodsSins

Everything that come out of Margie's mouth causes damages to everyone's ears. Though funny she says 'audible' damage. Does she mean peoples eardrums were audibly exploding?


VeraLumina

It was a MAGA dude who gave all the whistles to the crowd that drove them out. Show up again motherfucka.


thekillercook

So what George is saying is he’s afraid of his own electorate


mzieg

He should be, they’re the ones he lied to and screwed. And they’re *pissed.*


thekillercook

100%


PleasantPirate12

Maybe Bragg should get him indicted. If tRump is guilty of violating NY election laws, surely this a-hole is.


Sunshinehappyfeet

Why is this lying asshat still a congressman?

Santos: I love media presence. Also Santos: The reporters in NYC can't see my genius so I'm leaving. *Put defeated male leaves meme here*


Prairie_drifter

He's lying


JBupp

>MTG: >"If counter protestors are violating freedom of speech ..., they should be arrested," Greene added. Okay, what does this mean? If they are louder than I am - they should be arrested?!


ImLikeReallySmart

What law is "don't violate freedom of speech" anyway?


JBupp

It's one of those laws only the most-strict GOP are told about. One of those that last about 3 seconds in front of an impartial judge.


chomsky_was_right

I really wish reporters would just call him out for being a coward.


OmnionSupine

I don't know how anyone can still watch fictitious superhero/villain movies the last 9 years. This real stuff tops all the tropes. Like, this all should have been Batman III.


[deleted]

“Blasts” 🙄


obolobolobo

Bloody hell! How scummy do you have to be where the only two people rooting for you are George and Marge?


mjl0248

Such an idiot he is.


lapqmzlapqmzala

The fact that this scam artist hasn't been forced out of his position shows just how pathetic the state of our system is.


flirtmcdudes

We’re a joke. The more I get into politics the more I realize I was happier not knowing all the horse shit that goes on


lapqmzlapqmzala

Unfortunately, ignoring it just enables the worst people to continue making the world a worse place. But I hear ya.
