Stephen Colbert had some blunt words for Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), the freshman lawmaker caught in so many lies that even members of his own party are urging him to resign.

Colbert said Santos’ latest lie involves his supposedly glamorous lifestyle ― including a claim he “used to go to the Met Gala” but hasn’t been invited back because of his politics.

“Oh, honey,” Colbert said. “You’re not invited back because you were never invited in the first place.”

The CBS “Late Show” host joked the only Met Gala that would want Santos might be the Mr. Met Gala:

Stephen Colbert riffed that Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) could perhaps attend the event as Mr. Met Gala.

“It’s so glamorous,” he said. “Last year’s theme was baseball head.”

Colbert didn’t stop there. Check out his full takedown of Santos below:

Colbert also got to question Santos directly.

Sort of.
