Big balloon mocks George Santos [1]

['Carla Sinclair']

Date: 2023-11-28

What better way to troll a Congressliar full of hot air than to fly a gigantic George Santos balloon wearing a "Full of Lies" necktie outside the U.S. Capitol building? Which is what progressive group MoveOn tried to do today (see first video below, posted by Michael Patrick Key).

However, as in real life, the balloon version of Santos did not fare too well, toppling and cartwheeling around like a wayward tumbleweed caught in a whirlwind of trouble (see second video below, posted by space–cat).

With the flesh-and-bones Santos struggling against expulsion this week, it's fitting that his broken, plastic doppelganger also needs to say bye bye.

I'm celebrating with my Macy's parade day limited edition George Santos balloon 🎈!

It is a little windy though!
