Since being ousted from Congress, disgraced former Republican New York Representative George Santos says he is now so popular on the video app Cameo that he is raking in more than his Congressional salary.
That seems far-fetched, but Santos is charging $500 a pop for the videos. And now, they're being used to troll him, and use him to in turn troll Donald Trump.
Tristan Snell, one of the prosecutors in Donald Trump's Trump University fraud case, which ultimately resulted in a $25 million settlement, commissioned Santos to film a Cameo for him which Snell then used to call Santos out and promote his anti-Trump book.
Snell posted a video to TikTok using the Cameo, in which he cut back and forth between Santos and himself as if they were having a conversation. At one point, Santos says to Snell:
“I hear you’re a rock star lawyer and you care deeply about our country."
To which Snell replied:
"Guilty as charged. Coincidentally, that’s a phrase that you might be hearing very soon.”
Santos is of course facing fraud charges for misusing campaign funds, along with other no-nos.
Snell also got Santos to say that he was excited to read Snell's forthcoming book "about the constitution." Snell then held up his completed book about prosecuting Trump, boldly titled Taking Down Trump, and told Santos:
“Oh, look. I did it. I wrote the book. Thank you, George Santos....
"I wrote this whole book about how to prosecute Trump and people like you."
"Don’t worry, I’ve got another copy here that I’m gonna autograph for you, and we’ll deliver it to you wherever you are now, or whenever you end up in prison."
"What is your real name, actually, because I need to inscribe it to someone?"
Many on social media found Snell's expert trolling of Santos to be absolutely genius.
Snell's book comes out in January.
