Fetterman says he sent ‘ethically-challenged’ Menendez a Cameo video from Santos

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said Monday that he sent “ethically-challenged” Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) a Cameo video from former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who was expelled from Congress last week.

“I thought my ethically-challenged colleague @BobMenendezNJ could use some encouragement given his substantial legal problems,” Fetterman wrote Monday in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “So, I approached a seasoned expert on the matter to give ‘Bobby from Jersey’ some advice.”

Attached to Fetterman’s post was the purported Cameo video from Santos, in which the ousted New York Republican said, “Hey Bobby. … Look, I don’t need to tell you, but these people that want to make you get in trouble and want to kick you out and make you run away — you make ’em put up or shut up. You stand your ground, sir.”

“And don’t get bogged down by all the haters out there,” Santos continued. “Stay strong. Merry Christmas.”

The Hill reached out to Menendez’s office to confirm if the senator received the video.

Responding to Fetterman’s post on X, Santos appeared to be unaware of who exactly “Bobby from Jersey,” was, writing on X, “I love this! I wish I knew the Bobby in question! LOL.”
