Rep. George Santos (R-NY) said in an interview that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) consoled him after his tense exchange this week with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) but Sinema’s office says she never spoke to Santos, NBC News reports.
Santos claimed that after Romney lashed out at him ahead of Tuesday’s State of the Union address, Sinema told the congressman to “hang in there, buddy” as she was walking by.
He added that she “was very polite, very kindhearted,” unlike Romney, who he claims has “always had prejudice towards minorities.”
But Sinema’s spokesperson said that never happened, calling Santos’ comment “a lie.”
