George Santos smears ex-GOP colleague as a 'bully' in outburst days after expulsion
Former Congressman George Santos slurred one of his former New York Republican colleagues as a "drunk and a bully" Monday.
Santos, who was expelled Friday and has threatened to expose alleged misdeeds by other lawmakers, suggested that Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY), who was seen in a video made public last week yelling at one of his staffers, mistreated members of his camp.
Maybe I should have drank more wine and berated my staffers or ... just voted like a Democrat," Santos posted on X. "Brandon Williams is a RINO! @RepWilliams you should resign in Disgrace."
Santos condemned Williams last week over the video that apparently showed a confrontation with a former staffer at a lobbying firm's holiday party, where the GOP lawmaker appeared to threaten the former aide.

“You f--k with my family, I’ll end every relationship you have, every single friend," Williams told the man. “Do you understand me?”
A spokesman accused Michael Gordon, the former chief of staff for Williams who was identified as the man in the video, of planting damaging stories after he was fired by the congressman earlier this year.
