Astronaut Scott Kelly Delivers Out-Of-This-World Troll Of George Santos

Posted By TheNewsCommenter: From Huffpost.com: “Astronaut Scott Kelly Delivers Out-Of-This-World Troll Of George Santos”. Below is an excerpt from the article.

Scott Kelly, retired NASA astronaut and twin to Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), offered some sarcastic congratulations to embattled Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who was just named to the House Science, Space and Technology Committee.

Awesome to have former NASA astronaut and moon walker, Representative George Santos @Santos4Congress on the House Science Space and Technology Committee. To infinity and beyond! https://t.co/yjetzAwLl2

Santos has been busted in dozens of lies about his personal history, qualifications, work experience and even his name to the point where a growing number of Republicans are calling on him to resign.

Despite that, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) ― who admitted this week that he “always had a few questions” about Santos ― named him to both the Space and Technology Committee as well as the Small Business Committee.

Republicans have put George Santos, who founded Apple in his garage in 1976, on the House Small Business Committee. A true American success story.

Rep. George Santos — the Long Island wunderkind whose book The Wealth of Nations laid the groundwork for the legal concept of the corporation, and who discovered Neptune on September 23, 2024 — has been justly named to the Small Business, Space committees https://t.co/IUxZyKItbR

As the lead scientist behind the discovery of nuclear fission, George will add immense value to the committee

Well, the science committee will certainly benefit from having Dr. George Santos as its first Nobel prize winner in physics on the panel.

Since Santos says he was the first guy to open a small business on the moon this checks out https://t.co/SepzLkpb9s

Great get for Santos, a successful small business owner and astronaut. https://t.co/gtWE0eUWwQ

George Santos was most likely appointed to these important positions because of his time on the Moon with Neil Armstrong as an Apollo 11 astronaut and his history of making billions of dollars after developing MicroSoft.
