Republican Congressman George Santos Shed 92 Pounds With 'Miracle' Weight Loss Drug Ozempic: Report

Republican Congressman George Santos was overheard crediting his significant weight loss to the drug Ozempic at a recent Manhattan gathering, according to a report from Page Six.

The report suggests that Santos announced a weight loss of 92 pounds over eight months thanks to the ‘miracle’ weight loss drug Ozempic, despite concerns from his pharmacist partner. Ozempic, along with other Type 2 diabetes drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro, have been popularly used for weight loss in Hollywood circles.

At the same event, the embattled Congressman reportedly joked about defeating his political adversary, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), in a “cage match” due to his experience with Brazilian jiu-jitsu. His spokesperson confirmed Santos’ participation in the martial art as a young man.

Despite admitting to falsifying his educational and professional credentials in the past, Santos remains optimistic about his political future and continues to support Donald Trump. His spokesperson stated that Santos frequently receives expressions of support from his constituents.
