U.S. Rep. George Santos (R-NY) last year appeared on the podcast of a group identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as anti-government and bragged that he “slaughters” Democrats.
“Pigs eat. Hogs get slaughtered,” Santos said on the Loud Majority podcast. “So the Democrats acted like hogs and I acted like a good ol’ farmer and I slaughter them.”
Blogger Joe Jervis adds Santos’ remarks were made on a 2022 podcast.
Loud Majority Long Island appears on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list of anti-government extremist groups. As its Facebook page shows, it worked to help get Santos elected. The group itself discussed the SPLC’s designation last year.
Earlier Tuesday Santos criticized his fellow Republican, U.S. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA), for calling him “nutty as a fruitcake,” and “a bunny boiler.” Santos called the remarks “hurtful and divisive” language.
“I am saddened that a distinguished senator from the GOP, whom I’ve respected would use such derogatory language against me. Language like that is hurtful and divisive, and has no place in Congress.
