She continued, “And yesterday he announced that he will not run for re-election,” there was a loud cheer from the audience.
“But I find that a loss for his constituents since he allegedly spent donor dollars getting Botox, shopping at Hermes, and subscribing to OnlyFans. This is his take on his time in office, watch,” said Behar.
'The View' proceeded to show a clip from Fox Business, featuring an interview with George Santos in March conducted by host Kennedy. In the clip, Santos remarked, "I'm a boring nerd, dork, whatever you want to call me."
He added, “I just discovered what OnlyFans was three weeks ago when it was brought up in a discussion in my office.”
Kennedy asked him, “What do you think?”
Santos laughed and claimed he was “oblivious to the whole concept.” This is where ‘The View’ cut off the clip, before moving on to other clips of Santos.
Nevertheless, in the actual complete interview, following Santos' assertion about OnlyFans, Kennedy glanced downward and quietly muttered, "Ah, you just can't tell the truth."
This part was not included on ‘The View,’ and people have taken notice, and pointed it on the comment section on YouTube.
