LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: From US Congressman to Cameo star, George Santos' political career has been anything but ordinary.

After being expelled from Congress, Santos has found a new way to capitalize on his notoriety, charging $500 for personalized video messages on the platform Cameo.

But in a hilarious twist of fate, Santos recently received a Cameo message from himself.

The video, addressed to "former US Congressman George Santos," is filled with biting sarcasm and brutal honesty about Santos' downfall.

The video quickly went viral, sparking laughter and outrage in equal measure.

Many praised the impersonator's comedic timing and scathing critique of Santos' behavior.

One user wrote, "George Santos: I’m actually not George Santos. I’m Edmund Hillary and climbed Everest."
