John Boehner’s Former Press Secretary Predicts ‘Dead Man Walking’ George Santos Will Resist House Expulsion: ‘Not a Stable Man’
George Santos is a “dead man walking.” That’s how Brendan Buck, former press secretary to Republican House Speaker John Boehner and current political analyst, described the U.S. representative while on Tuesday night’s episode of “Alex Wagner Tonight.”
“The problem is George Santos, as we have seen, is not a stable person,” Buck said.
Buck emphasized that most representative s who get into situations where they know they will likely be convicted and “have no future” step down. “I just don’t know that we can trust George Santos is going to see that that clearly. He has really nothing to lose. He’s a dead man walking,” Buck said. “It wouldn’t surprise me is he resists all efforts to remove him. Even if he’s convicted it wouldn’t surprise me if he resists that.”
Federal prosecutors have indicted Santos on 13 charges, including wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and “making materially false statements to the House of Representative s. He turned himself in Wednesday.
