Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., said in a television interview Thursday that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., offered him consolation and words of encouragement after his tense exchange with Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, but Sinema's office says she never spoke to him.
The congressman told Newsmax that after Romney ripped into him ahead of Tuesday's State of the Union address, reportedly saying "you don't belong here," Sinema told Santos to "hang in there, buddy" as she walked by.
