'Oh, Honey!': Stephen Colbert Has A Gala-rific Fact-Check For George Santos

The "Late Show" host tore into the GOP lawmaker over his latest lie.
|

Stephen Colbert had some blunt words for Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), the freshman lawmaker caught in so many lies that even members of his own party are urging him to resign

Colbert said Santos’ latest lie involves his supposedly glamorous lifestyle including a claim he “used to go to the Met Gala ” but hasn’t been invited back because of his politics. 

“Oh, honey,” Colbert said. “You’re not invited back because you were never invited in the first place.”

The CBS “Late Show” host joked the only Met Gala that would want Santos might be the Mr. Met Gala:
