“SNL” star Bowen Yang said goodbye to Rep. George Santos was evicted in a swan song and dance full of lies on Saturday night.
Holding a press conference outside the Capitol building following his eviction, Santos, played by Yang, insisted he was attacked and bullied by the entire country because he was a “proud gay thief.”
“Since the day I was elected, it’s been a witch hunt, but if I’ve been guilty of anything it’s been too much love-slash- fraud,” he said with his coat draped over his shoulders, during the show “Cold Open. “
“Now I’m sure you bloodthirsty wolves in the media have a thousand nasty, nasty questions you want to ask me, go away,” Santos said before a reporter replied “You called this press conference, nobody asked you to do this”
As he called reporters for questions, Santos tried to trick them by asking for their personal banking information such as their bank routing number, mother’s maiden name and childhood pets, to which he then elicited answers.
Now stripped of his congressional duties, Santos refers to himself by his new titles of “Professor, Major, General, Priest, Astronaut Santos, Protector of Nature and Princess of Genovia,” the fictional country from “The Princess Diaries” film series.
When he was asked how he would like to be remembered later in history, Santos responded with a parody of Elton John’s hit song “Candle in the Wind.”

Santos, who appeared in a dark room with a grand piano for his final performance, began singing his ballad saying goodbye to the “Queen of Congress” even though they didn’t know her because she lied about her whole life to them.
He goes on to sing about the many accusations that have been made against him including using donation funds for botox, using a fake name, and how he lied about all the schools he attended and the jobs he held.
“Seems like I’m living my life like Scandal in the Wind,” he sings. “…Congress matters are difficult. Hardest job I’ve ever had. And I’m a neurosurgeon at NYU.”

Who routinely portrays Santos during the “NBC” sketch show, has appeared as a politician in open segments and “Weekend Update” since January.
“I was like, ‘Oh he’s got glasses and we both have a rough nasal voice so maybe I’m the guy,'” Yang told Seth Meyers about how he came to reprise Santos.
The real George Santos faces months of investigation after he won the November 2022 election despite fabricating the majority of his background including where
On Friday, the US House of Representatives voted for the third time to impeach Santos, and did so successfully, kicking the impeached lawmaker out of elected office, for just the sixth time.

Late Friday and into Saturday, Santos has been “smashing the earth” against some of his former congressmen, saying he will file ethics complaints against them with the Office of Congressional Ethics.
The disgraced politician said he aimed his complaint at New York Reps. Nicole Malliotakis, Mike Lawler, Nick LaLota and Rep. New Jersey Rob Menendez.
