Isn&#8217;t that good? You make it entertaining, Marcia, so people can stand watching C-SPAN because it&#8217;s boring&#8230; I can&#8217;t stand watching C-SPAN, I&#8217;ll answer that question.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\">Click here for the full interview with Santos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    CBS New York team<\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"img \"><img alt=\"wcbs-cbs2-new-york-logo.jpg \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2022\/02\/23\/4ef231e4-bd55-4d64-a71f-c9219a8836bd\/thumbnail\/80x80\/948401ec0c933ece835d5ace0eb8a9b3\/wcbs-cbs2-new-york-logo.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2022\/02\/23\/4ef231e4-bd55-4d64-a71f-c9219a8836bd\/thumbnail\/160x160\/8d72a3c1ea5282c4d5dee4e389e25c86\/wcbs-cbs2-new-york-logo.jpg 2x\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">The CBS New York team is a group of seasoned journalists who bring you the content at CBSNewYork.com.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading CBS NEWS. <\/p>\n<p>Create your free account or login <br \/>for more features.<\/p>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/rep-george-santos-nicki-minaj-anti-vaccine-mandate-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
