Fresh off becoming the sixth-ever member of Congress to be expelled, former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has taken up shooting paid Cameo videos, which according to reports is making him more money than his old congressional salary.
But one man, former Trump University prosecutor Tristan Snell, found a way to troll him — by purchasing a Cameo from Santos, and splicing in footage of himself to create a fake conversation with him.
"Hey Tristan!" said Santos in the video.
"What's up?" Snell said in the cutaway.

"I hear you're a rock star lawyer and you care deeply about our country," said Santos.
"Guilty as charged," said Snell. "Coincidentally that's a phrase you might be hearing very soon."
"And that you want to write a book on the Constitution," said Santos. "As a constitutionalist myself..."
"Really?" said Snell. "You know, because Alexander Hamilton was really into identity theft and stealing from your donors, writing bad checks to steal puppies, Founding Fathers stuff."
"I would encourage you to write that book," said Santos. "How important it is to follow the guidelines of the framework set forward in the Constitution."
"Yep, and making sure that nobody is above the law," said Snell.
"I'll read it myself and I'll make sure that the whole world knows about your book," said Santos. "Get writing on that book, Tristan. And I hope to see that book soon."
"Well, thank you. I really appreciate that," said Snell. He then opened a package and pulled out a copy of his book, "Taking Down Trump." "Oh look! I did it. I wrote the book. Thank you, George Santos. That was really great encouragement. I wrote this whole book about how to prosecute Trump and people like you. Don't worry, I've got another copy here that I'm going to autograph for you, and we'll deliver it to you wherever you are now, or whenever you end up in prison. What is your real name, actually, because I need to inscribe it to someone."
"Taking Down Trump comes out January 30th," he added. "It's already available for preorder. Just go to TakingDownTrump.com."
This is not the first time a Santos Cameo was used for trolling. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) also purchased one and sent it to Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), another indicted lawmaker Fetterman is calling on to resign.
