This comes after Rep George Santos made the headlines after an incident at Capitol Hill amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Rep George Santos recently made the headlines after an incident at Capitol Hill amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

“Santos went on yelling tirade on a self-proclaimed Jewish man named Shadb Singh, who called out the New York Rep for his Israel support,” according to Times Now World.

Santos’ “yelling tirade” made the rounds on several social media platforms, and also by Fox News anchor Sean Hannity, and the internet wasn’t impressed.

On X, formerly known as Twitter, Fox News anchor Sean Hannity quoted Re George Santos, and wrote, “SANTOS: “The fact that we have terrorist sympathizers in this building is unacceptable! They should not be allowed in here…and the next time he tries to accost me with a child in my hand, I want him out of here!”

Attached to this was an article on Hannity’s website, where he shared a video of Santos at Capitol Hill, titled, “'F*****G TERRORIST SYMPATHIZER!' George Santos in HEATED TIRADE on the Hill.”

Hannity also shared a clip of the “heated tirade” in this article, and claimed that Santos “was screaming in a curse-laced tirade.”

As several people shared their take on Santos following this incident, Hannity faced backlash too, after he reported on the same.
