Not sure who made out better in this story.
According to a report from The New York Post, embattled Rep. George Santos (R-NY) canceled a sitdown interview with Don Lemon, who is currently in hot water over sexist remarks made about Nikki Haley.
Santos decided to sitdown with Piers Morgan instead.
“We heard the comments and it was in very poor taste and we did not wish to do a sit-down with someone who could speak ill of women in that regard,” a spokesperson for the New York Republican told the Daily Mail.
“It shouldn’t matter if it’s a Republican or Democratic woman running for public office, but we’re not going to sit down with someone who would say such horrible things.
“I don’t think he should be rewarded for bad behavior,” the rep added.
From The New York Post:
On Monday, Morgan quipped to The Post that he is “delighted that Congressman Santos recognized I’m the news anchor still in his prime enough to warrant the big exclusive.”
During his interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Santos admitted, “I’m a terrible liar” in an effort to explain the laundry list of falsehoods he’s told.
“It wasn’t about tricking people,” Santos said. “This was about getting accepted by the party here locally.”
Asked about the Lemon snub, Santos said he had “no knowledge of this” and referred a Post reporter to his communications director — who didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Lemon has been in hot water since exclaiming that 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley is past her prime.
