Rep. George Santos (R-NY) could be expelled from Congress by the end of the day, and a reporter told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" the embattled lawmaker could have a bright future in reality television once his criminal case is resolved.
The New York Republican has been charged with 23 counts, including money laundering and wire fraud, and the House Ethics Committee issued a scathing 56-report detailing his alleged crimes, and Washington Post reporter Jacqueline Alemany compared him to a notorious con artist who posed as a wealthy heiress.
"George Santos is very much a question mark," Alemany said. "This is someone who I think thinks he was Kim Kardashian, but in reality is more of an Anna Delvey, in terms of the criminal conduct."
Delvey was convicted of grand larceny and other charges after posing as an heiress to gain access to the New York City art and social scenes a decade ago in a story that was dramatized in the Netflix film "Inventing Anna," and Alemany said she thinks Santos will wind up on TV himself, one way or another.
"A lot of people are asking, what is he doing next?" Alemany said. "Is there some dating show for people in prison he can maybe go on? Some reality show, that is a serious question people have been asking him, but it remains to be seen whether or not he's actually going to get expelled today. The House Freedom Caucus has come out against it. One, they find the Ethics Committee biased, which is, by the way, equally comprised of Democrats and Republicans. Republicans on the committee unanimously voted to expel him, found him guilty."
