Is George Santos Singing Taylor Swift Songs? Check Out His Cursed Cameo Videos
The former congressman is trying to make bank by making bizarre personalized videos on Cameo.
While almost everything about former Representative George Santos is a fabrication, he's not lying about raking in the dough creating truly cursed videos on Cameo.
Since being expelled from Congress last week, Santos has been busy with his new career making personalized videos on Cameo for $500 a pop—up from $200 just a few days ago. Some of the Cameos are now floating around online, and they are both hilarious and nightmare fuel.
In one video that had us cackling, he congratulates a newly-out furry, whose fursona—an anthropomorphic animal character—is a beaver and platypus combination Santos calls a "beaverpuss."
"They all love you beaver-puss," he said in the video. "Don't you ever get your head down, and don't you ever, ever let anybody tell you what you can and can't be."
In a bizarre turn of events, politicians are also paying for Cameos from Santos to troll their co-workers. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) paid to have Santos send a video message to needle Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), the target of an investigation for an alleged bribery scheme.
"Hey Bobby!" Santos cheerfully said in the video, as reported by LGBTQ Nation. "Look, I don't think I need to tell you, but these people that want to make you get in trouble and want to kick you out and make you run away, you make 'em put up or shut up!"
Out Nebraska Sen. Megan Hunt—who is also the mother of a trans child—was pranked by a friend who gifted her one of Santos' videos after she spent a year filibustering every bill in an attempt to stop that state from passing a ban on gender-affirming care.
"Megan! How are you, darling?" Santos said in the video. "Do I hear that you're getting some tough heat in the press and that life might be a little rocky now? Let me tell you something: If you believe in what you stand for, and if you fight for what you do, and you stand by those convictions, screw the haters, the haters are gonna hate."
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has even gotten in on the Cameo action, doing a bit on his show called "Will Santos Say It?" where he sends Santos ridiculous video prompts to see whether the former politician will make the Cameo, including one where he congratulates Brenda "on the successful cloning of her beloved schnauzer Adolf."
But our favorite—and by favorite, we mean the one that will still haunt us a year from now—features the disgraced politician singing his "favorite" Taylor Swift song. Sorry Swifties!
"My favorite TS song is definitely going to be 'Trouble,'" Santos said, clearly referencing Swift's hit song, "I Knew You Were Trouble," before breaking into song and singing, "I knew you were trouble when you walked in," followed by, "That's me…bye!" *Shudders*
Santos only started his Cameo account on Monday, and we're already traumatized!
