expelled Rep. George Santos in a swan song and dance filled with lies on Saturday night.Holding a press conference outside of the Capitol building following his expulsion, Santos, played by Yang, insisted he was being assaulted and bullied by the entire country because he was a “proud, gay thief.”“Since the day I was elected, it’s been a witch hunt, but if I’m guilty of anything it’s for loving too much- slash- fraud,” he said with an overcoat draped over his shoulders, during the show’s “Cold Open.”“Now I’m sure you bloodthirsty jackals in the media have a thousand mean, nasty questions you’re dying to ask me, go,” Santos says before a reporter responds “You called this press conference, no one asked you to do this”As he called on reporters for questions, Santos attempted to trick them by asking for their banking personal information such as their bank routing number, mother’s maiden name, and childhood pet, the latter of which got an answer.Now stripped of his congressional duties, Santos referred to himself by his new title of “Professor, Major, General, Reverend, Astronaut Santos, Protector of the Realm and Princess of Genovia,” the fictional country from “The Princess Diaries” film series.When he is asked how he’d like to be remembered later in history, Santos answered with his parody of Elton John’s hit song “Candle in the Wind.”Santos, appearing in a dark room alongside a grand piano for his final performance, began singing his ballad by saying goodbye to the “Congress Queens” although they didn’t know him because he lied about his entire life to them.
