It's a difficult time to be George Santos.
The perception that the suburban New York Republican is crumbling under the strain of serious legal problems has grown following a profanity-laced screaming match between himself and a liberal Jewish man.
The Daily Caller explains:
Santos was in the Longworth House Office Building when he had the exchange over Israel, according to NBC News reporter Sahil Kapur. The man was taken into custody by Capitol Police, Semafor political reporter Kadia Goba posted on X, formerly Twitter.
“Officers, officers, this is the gentleman who was accosting me when I had a two-month-old baby in my hands,” Santos said in a video posted by Kapur.
WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE
New York Sun reporter Matt Rice posted a photo on X of Santos holding the unidentified baby as he was leaving the office of Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee.
“The next time he tries to accost me with a child in my hand I want him out of here,” Santos said in a video posted to X by reporter Nolan McCaskill of The Messenger. “He is an animal. I am holding a child. He is a f*cking terrorist sympathizer.”
“Nobody defending Hamas has any business in this building whether you're elected, whether you're a civilian,” he continued.

….”That we allow people to parade that kind of thought in here”. Wow. He’s a psychopath. He’s dangerous.
He could have tempered his anger a bit more, but his sentiment is correct.
I agree with Mellie, below, — “He could have tempered his anger a bit more, but his sentiment is correct.”
Some things are absolutely beyond consideration, and what Hamas is doing in Israel is definitely in that category. Hamas sympathizers have no business in our government. People can believe what they choose, but Hamas has no business in American government.
Right or wrong, I agree with him about the Terrorist sympathizers.
He is under a lot of stress and not sure why he was carrying a baby but as we know terrorist don’t care about kids – it’s all about them getting their way. It’s too bad Santos can’t or doesn’t take a break to calm himself. He represents our nation and that is his sworn duty – not to babysit while in congress.
