Progressives from New York heckled Rep. George Santos on the U.S. Capitol steps Wednesday as he tried to speak to the media about his legal troubles and political future.
Clips circulating online show Mr. Santos, a Republican facing numerous fraud charges in New York, speaking in a scrum of reporters before Rep. Jamaal Bowman starts yelling at him from nearby.Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined him in some of the heckling, though Mr. Bowman was the loudest voice.
“I can’t continue to address you guys because there’s a deranged member here, so I’m gonna walk,” Mr. Santos said.The confrontation underscored the fraying decorum on Capitol Hill and the awkward position Mr. Santos is in after a 13-count federal indictment alleged he used political donations for personal expenses, applied for COVID-19 unemployment relief despite making $120,000 per year at a Florida investment firm and misstated income amounts on House disclosure forms.
After Mr. Santos left the Capitol steps, Mr. Bowman got into an argument with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia Republican.
