Santos Turns to Cameo After House Expulsion, Gets Hired by Fetterman for Menendez Message
Former House Rep. George Santos joined Cameo to offer personalized video messages, with Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) among the first to take him up on the offer.
Fetterman made a request for Santos to make a message targeting Sen. Bob Menendez to resign from the Senate.
That's funny.

"I thought my ethically-challenged colleague @BobMenendezNJ could use some encouragement given his substantial legal problems," Fetterman tweeted, per Fox News. "So I approached a seasoned expert on the matter to give ‘Bobby from Jersey’ some advice."
"Hey Bobby!" Santos begins the video. "Uh, look. I don't think I need to tell you but these people that want to make you get in trouble and want to kick you out and make you run away, you make ‘em put up or shut up! You stand your ground sir, and don’t get bogged down by all the haters out there. Stay strong! Merry Christmas!"

“We have a colleague in the Senate that actually does much more sinister and serious kinds of things … If you are going to expel Santos, how can you allow somebody like Menendez to remain in the Senate?” Fetterman pondered on “The View.”
“I think [he] is really a senator for Egypt, not New Jersey,” the Pennsylvanian added of his colleague.
Fetterman is among a growing number of lawmakers who have called for Menendez to be removed from the Senate following the charges against him.
The issue arose again after Santos was voted out of the House, with Fetterman leading the calls for Menendez to be voted out next.
Menendez has vowed not to step down and is currently running for reelection. However, he'll have to face New Jersey's first lady in the primary early next year.
The stage is set for a Menendez showdown, with Fetterman using the Santos situation to add some humor to the serious situation.
