Lying New York Rep. George Santos tried his hardest to appear esteemed in front of reporters ahead of Donald Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday — only to be heckled for his fabricated past.
The embattled lawmaker joined extremist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in Lower Manhattan when he was confronted by dozens of journalists — and a “Daily Show” correspondent.
Santos, who has famously been caught in an epic web of lies, had just finished berating reporters while claiming he supported “the rule of law” when a familiar voice interrupted.
“George, are you finally bringing legitimacy to this process?” Jordan Klepper asked, per footage posted on YouTube. “George, we wanna hear about your volleyball career. George! George! George, speak up! We wanna hear the legitimacy you’re bringing to the process!”

“George, are you worried that this is becoming a circus?” Klepper yelled as Santos started walking away. “George, talk about your time running a circus! George, thank you for your service!”
Santos told reporters that “this isn’t about me” and that he was there “to support the president of the United States who’s been unfairly attacked by our DA.”
Klepper was there to remind him of his legacy.
“Tell us about your volleyball career, we need to know,” Klepper continued. “Have you recently got a law degree, is that why you’re here? Are you bringing legitimacy to this process, finally? Are you?”
“Talk to me about your law degrees — which law degrees have you got that you’re bringing here to this?” said Klepper. “As first president of the United States, do you feel that you can actually handle the jurisprudence that’s going on?”
