The ousted GOP Rep. announced his latest money-making scheme on Cameo in a recent video shared to X, formerly Twitter.

Former New York Republican Representative George Santos was widely mocked after he announced his latest money-making scheme on Cameo on X, formerly Twitter.

Santos made headlines recently for joining Cameo, a site that allows fans to send a video request to celebrities to send personalized video messages to fans' friends, loved ones, or to the fans themselves.


Now he's announced he will create personalized video messages on the platform—for $500 a pop—dressed as "Santos Claus" to commemorate the holiday season.

"Santos-Claus is coming to town!" Santos announced, sharing a video in which he shows off a Santa Claus-inspired hat and beard and refers to himself as “the OG, original sassiest person in the world.”

He added:

“Actually, the OG Claus. I don’t care what you say, I don’t know about no Santa.”
“This is all about Santos Claus. So if you’re looking for a sassy, awesome Christmas message from yours truly, make sure you don’t miss out."
"Limited time only. Bye.”

You can see his message below.

Santos was mocked immediately.



After a damning House Ethics Committee report revealed he spent thousands in campaign funds on a variety of non-campaign-related items, including OnlyFans, Botox, and trips to Atlantic City and the Hamptons, Santos announced he will not run for reelection.

The report alleged Santos had committed "knowing and willful violations" of House financial disclosure rules and filed "false or incomplete reports" with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

The 56-page report offered extensive evidence indicating Santos’ misuse of campaign funds for personal purposes, fraudulent activities toward donors, and submission of false or incomplete campaign finance and financial disclosure reports.

It further accuses Santos of exploiting his House candidacy for personal financial gain through a series of deceptive tactics, including lies about his background and experience to constituents, donors, and staff.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
