Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has sparked a debate about the role of minorities in politics and the need for more responsible media coverage after making a controversial statement on the far-right MAGA talk show, "Unafraid." During the podcast, Santos compared himself to civil rights icon Rosa Parks and went on a long rant about "sellout" Republicans. His statement has been met with criticism from both sides of the aisle and civil rights activists, who have argued that Santos is trivializing the legacy of Rosa Parks.
