George Santos says he'll treat expulsion as a 'badge of honor' as he claims his colleagues are drunkenly having sex with lobbyists 'every night'

• Rep. George Santos went on an extended tirade against his colleagues on Friday evening.
• Santos says he expects to be expelled this week and will wear it "like a badge of honor."
• He also called the Ethics Committee chairman a "pussy" and made wild claims about his colleagues.

Days before his likely expulsion from the House of Representatives, Rep. George Santos of New York went on his most unhinged tirade yet.

In an X Space hosted by conservative media personality Monica Matthews on Friday evening, the scandal-plagued Republican said he expects to be expelled when the House votes on the matter, which is likely to happen this coming week.

But he said he's not sweating it.

"I don't care. You want to expel me? I'll wear it like a badge of honor," Santos said. "I'll be the sixth expelled member of Congress in the history of Congress. And guess what? I'll be the only one expelled without a conviction."

That was just one part of Santos's lengthy and angry diatribe against his colleagues, during which the indicted congressman made a series of statements and claims that are unlikely to endear him to any colleagues who may still remain on the fence about expelling him.

At one point, he mocked the Republican chairman of the House Ethics Committee — Rep. Michael Guest of Mississippi — in the wake of that committee's damning report about his conduct.

"It ain't gonna be the dude from Mississippi that's gonna kick me, a New Yorker, out of Congress," Santos said. "No offense to people from Mississippi, but making that very, very clear, it's going to take a lot more than that."

He also said Guest needs to "stop being a pussy" and call up the expulsion resolution when Congress returns this week.

Spokespeople for Rep. Guest did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment sent outside of regular business hours.

And in a moment reminiscent of former Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn — whose wild claims of cocaine-laden orgies among his colleagues spurred GOP leaders to plot his ouster last year — Santos claimed his colleagues were "hypocrites" who were regularly cheating on their spouses and barely doing their job.

"I have colleagues who are more worried about getting drunk every night with the next lobbyist that they're gonna screw and pretend like none of us know what's going on, and sell off the American people, not show up to vote because they're too hungover or whatever the reason is, or not show up to vote at all and just give their card out like fucking candy for someone else to vote for them," Santos claimed.

"This shit happens every single week," he said. "Where are the ethics investigations?"

Santos is no longer seeking re-election and is set to go to trial next September following a federal indictment on charges that include money laundering, identity theft, and wire fraud.

According to the House Ethics Committee's report on Santos's conduct, the congressman was largely uncooperative during the investigation.

The report also found that Santos swindled campaign donors, using their money for luxury purchases at Hermes, Ferragamo, Sephora, OnlyFans, and Botox.
