Gaetz and Santos discussed their shared experience of being victims of the “lamestream media” and the calls for Santos to resign from some of his Republican colleagues. The interview has sparked controversy, with people questioning why Gaetz was so lenient on Santos.

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) has been under fire since his election to Congress last month for lying about his background during his campaign. In response, two Democratic lawmakers have introduced the Stopping Another Non-Truthful Officer Seeker Act, or SANTOS Act, to punish congressional candidates who knowingly provide false information with a $100,000 fine or one year in prison.
