George Santos wants speaker nominees to kiss his ass

[Demovictory9]

Rep. George Santos threw a temper tantrum and vowed not to support Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise for speaker of the House because the fellow Republican failed to call and ask for his support.

With two criminal cases filed and an expulsion effort looming, Santos opted to go on the offensive by warning he won’t back Scalise unless the GOP nominee for speaker kisses his ring.

The embattled Long Island Republican said he was irked that Scalise did not make a personal pitch for his support in the speaker fight and hasn’t reached out at all since he took office.

“I’ve come to the conclusion that my VOTE doesn’t matter to him,” Santos said late Wednesday.

“I’m now declaring I’m an ANYONE but Scalise, and come hell or high water I won’t change my mind,” Santos added.

Unlike other Republican holdouts, Santos didn’t make any political or policy demands.

3. Perhaps wants a promise that their leadership team will whip votes to prevent his expulsion.

Although, why someone like George Santos (i.e. someone with that personal history of brazen falsity) would trust other peoples' promises in the slightest is beyond me, so maybe that isn't it exactly.
