George Santos may have been expelled from the U.S. Congress, but he’s not going anywhere, the disgraced politician told comedian and interviewer Ziwe on Monday.

“I’ll be back. I’m 35. They’re all in their 50s. I’ll outlive them, each and every one of them,” the disgraced Republican politician told Ziwe during a sit-down interview on her YouTube channel about his political future. Santos added he’ll remain in the media spotlight, whatever his future, “because people want the content.”

On U.S. Congress members he once sat among, Santos didn’t hold back. “They’re all frauds. If you were to put them all under the same scrutiny I was put under, you’d vacate the whole goddam building,” Santos said.

Will he run for public office again? “Not now, but in the future I’m not ruling it out,” Santos claimed, and likely as a Republican, though he could possibly run as an independent.

“They’re hacks. They’re not doing anything but lying to you. If a politician’s mouth is moving on Capitol Hill, they’re lying to you,” Santos added as he spared no vitriol for fellow politicians, even as he insisted he no longer is one.

Santos taped the interview with Ziwe last week, and it was unveiled on the social media platform Monday. As a comedian-writer-interviewer, Ziwe is famous for her uncomfortable, nearly satirical interviews with stars about racial and gender politics.
