John Fetterman tricks George Santos into TROLLING Bob Menendez by paying $343 for a Cameo video: Long Island liar says NJ senator shouldn’t be kicked out of Congress

Democratic Sen. John Fetterman tricked expelled Rep. George Santos into trolling Sen. Bob Menendez by paying him $343 for a cameo video.

Santos, who was expelled from the House of Representatives last week, has now joined Cameo, where fans can pay their famous (or infamous) stars to record personalized videos.

One of his first clients was former Capitol Hill colleague Senator John Fetterman. A Democratic senator from Pennsylvania enlisted Santos’ services to troll the New Jersey Democrat. Senator Bob Menendez, who like Santos has faced serious legal problems over allegations that Egypt bribed him.

On Monday, Fetterman wrote on X: “I think my ethically troubled colleague @BobMenendezNJ could use some support given his significant legal issues.

“So, I reached out to a seasoned expert on the subject to give ‘Jersey Bobby’ some advice.”

In the video, Santos offers some words of encouragement to Bobby.

“Hey Bobby! I don’t think I need to tell you, but these people who want to get you in trouble, want to kick you out and make you run, you’re making them put up or shut up! An animated Santos said into the front camera of his phone.

“You stand your ground, sir,” he says. “And don’t get bogged down by all the haters.”

Santos, on the contrary, was delighted with this turn of events. ‘I like it! I wish I knew the Bobby we’re talking about! he wrote in X

One of George Santos’ first cameo clients was the office of Senator John Fetterman, who asked him to record a message for Senator Bob Menendez.

Just days after Santos was voted out of the House of Representatives by a vote of 311 to 114, he joined the celebrity short video message platform.

He currently charges $200 per video and is described in his bio as a “former congressional icon!” and “expelled member of Congress from New York.”

A Fetterman staffer told Business Insider that the senator’s campaign paid $343.20 for Santos’ special, including a 24-hour delivery fee for the video.

The staffer added that the former congressman presented the video in just 16 minutes.

“We didn’t expect to get it back so quickly,” he said.

New Jersey Senator Menendez is accused by federal prosecutors – not for the first time – of accepting bribes, including more than $480,000 in cash, in exchange for aid to the Egyptian government.

Menendez has denied the allegations, which were also made against his wife, Nadine Arslanian Menendez. They were jointly charged in September.

Among other things, federal agents found bags of money and gold bars in the couple’s home.

Freshman Senator Fetterman has been an outspoken critic of Menendez since his indictment and quickly became the first Democratic member of the Senate to call for his resignation.

Menendez told reporters at the Capitol on Monday that he does not think “Mr. Clickbait donors will appreciate that he used campaign funds to enrich George Santos,” Fetterman says.

Santos, on the contrary, was delighted with this turn of events. ‘I like it! I wish I knew the Bobby we’re talking about! he wrote to X after learning about Camp Fetterman’s stunt.

Fetterman said CNN on Monday night: “I don’t mind Santos… Of course he’s committed some really weird lies and stuff.

“But if you exclude someone like George Santos, how can you allow someone like Senator Menendez to remain in the Senate?”

Menendez told reporters at the Capitol on Monday that he does not think “Mr. Clickbait donors will appreciate that he used campaign funds to enrich George Santos.

Santos was expelled last week after the House Ethics Committee returned with a damning report into his conduct regarding his campaign funds and beyond.

In addition to the committee’s charges, Santos has pleaded not guilty to 23 federal charges, including multiple counts of financial fraud.

During his short time in Congress, the gay lawmaker was accused of fabricating important elements of his life story.

But he denied all the charges against him until the end and last week said goodbye to the Capitol, declaring, “Fuck this place,” after his expulsion vote.

Few politicians participate in Cameo, but Santos is no longer subject to campaign finance laws.
