Unless George Santos is a practicing contortionist, it's pretty clear he deliberately made the symbol on the House Floor.

George Santos, the New York Republican congressman who has admitted to lying about vast swathes of his resume while campaigning, has been accused of flashing a white power symbol on the House floor on Thursday.

The then-incoming lawmaker, who was sworn in on Saturday, was pictured making the gesture as he cast a vote for Kevin McCarthy in the 10th round of votes for House speaker.

Santos used his right hand to cast his vote for McCarthy while making a sideways OK gesture with his left hand, which was positioned across his body.

A C-SPAN video of the moment shows that Santos had his arms folded, with his left arm already in position, before he was called to vote.

The hand gesture was popularized by right-wing trolls on 4chan as a hoax hate symbol but was later adopted by white supremacists as a genuine expression of white supremacy, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

While often used by far-right groups as a white power symbol, it is also still used by some right-wing trolls, who use it to "trigger liberals," according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Twitter was less than impressed by this fraudster. Again.

And a fellow NY congressman who never has anything good to say about Santos.
