I suspect he’s referring to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ar5OKbd2yk

YouTube’s description:

Donald Trump and the J6 Prison Choir – who were jailed for their involvement in the January Capitol riots – have soared to number 1 on the iTunes chart for the song ‘Justice for All’.

Not YouTube: criticism by Asa Hutchinson about it: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3932347-asa-hutchinson-hits-trump-over-j6-prison-choir-song-i-dont-think-we-should-elevate-jan-6/

Wire fraud (7 counts), money laundering (3 counts), theft of public funds (1 count), materially false statements to the House of Representatives (2 counts). Terrible fashion choices not being charged.

First on CNN: Rep. George Santos charged by Justice Department in federal...

Another one bites the dust.

Great month we are having. Breaking out the bubbly.

1200 payments to Santos from his campaign at $199.99 each, anything over $200 requires a receipt.

Amateur hour.

@Mathman

1200 payments

Lol. That’s work!

[YankeeTripper]

The Washington post has an article about things that cost $199.99 in response to this. but I don’t have subscription

[YankeeTripper]

Amazon should run a George Santos sale of $199.99 items.

[Jasper07734]

I mean, he technically didn’t exclude himself in that last part, so

[The_Polymath]

[Mathman]

Probably need to read the fine print, where it exonerates congressmen from that law.
Or, all laws.

GOP Senator Defends White Nationalists: 'I Call Them Americans'

TOMMY TUBERVILLE, A United States senator from Alabama, defended white nationalism during an interview with a local NPR affiliate on Monday, AL.com has reported.

WBHM Birmingham asked Tuberville if white nationalists should be allowed to serve in the military. “They call them that,” the senator responded. “I call them Americans.”

Tuberville had explicitly defended “white extremists” and “white nationalists” earlier in the interview, alleging that President Biden is “destroying” the military by opposing their inclusion.

“We are losing in the military so fast,” Tuberville said. “Our readiness in terms of recruitment. And why? I’ll tell you why, because the Democrats are attacking our military, saying we need to get out the white extremists, the white nationalists, people that don’t believe in our agenda, as Joe Biden’s agenda. They’re destroying it.

[YankeeTripper]

If we don’t allow Nazis in the military, who will join the military?!?!??!?!?!

[Maphistos_Sidekick]

Draftees?

[Maphistos_Sidekick]

Tuberville is saying plenty of the darndedest things.

Tuberville says Trump liable verdict in E. Jean Carroll case ‘makes me want...

(But what do you expect of someone from Auburn? Roll Tide.)

[now_samantha]

Who among us hasn’t said that the toughest place to get an impartial jury is your home town?

[soyleche]

I’m pretty sure I haven’t, but mostly cause the topic hasn’t come up in conversation.
