In an interview with Newsmax on Thursday, Santos claimed that after his tense exchange with Republican Senator Mitt Romney ahead of Tuesday’s State of the Union address, Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona had consoled him with the words “hang in there, buddy.”
However, Sinema’s office has denied that the senator ever spoke to Santos. In the same interview, Santos also made disparaging remarks about Romney, saying “she’s a good person, unlike Mr. Romney” and that “his whole mighty white horse trying to talk to us down on morality.”
