Ziwe’s “ZNN” interview, a CNN spoof with her own Ziwe News Network, began with onscreen text saying “No congressman were paid in the making of this interview even though George asked three times.” She then listed civil rights icons and asked Santos to say what they meant to him. The list included Marsha P. Johnson, James Baldwin, Harvey Milk and Bowen Yang’s “SNL” impression of Santos — which he said deserves an EGOT. When asked if he would want Yang to play him in HBO’s movie about him, Santos said “that movie is not ever going to happen. That book has no perspective of me or anybody close to me. It’s fucking fiction,” referring to Mark Chiusano’s novel “The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos.”Listen: When you are a politician who got in the game by lying about your educational credentials, your work experience as a Wall Street employee, charities you founded, your race and ethnicity, and much more, and you’re currently indicted on more fraud charges than your average elected official can keep up with—you’re definitely not in the position to be calling anything “f-cking fiction.” Santos should just leave the word “fiction” out of his lexicon. It’s like Donald Trump telling people they have bad tans. It’s like Candace Owens calling someone a house negro. It’s like Kanye demanding that bigots tone down the antisemitism.
