CNN’s Harry Enten Explains That More People Believe the Earth Is Flat Than Like George Santos

A CNN segment featuring senior data reporter Harry Enten on Friday ended with Enten and John Berman concluding that embattled Rep. George Santos (R-NY) is less popular than the notion that the Earth is flat.

Enten began the discussion by comparing his favorability ratings with those of other historically unpopular politicians.

“Look at George Santos in New York’s third district from earlier this year. Just 7% had a favorable view of him! That’s tied with Bob Taft, who of course, was convicted of a crime just before this poll was taken. Bob Menendez, who’s obviously right now in some major trouble in some federal cases at 8%. And, of course, Rod Blagojevich, who of course was an infamous convicted criminal at 8%. So he is amongst the lowest at this point,” explained Enten.

“Welcome to the modern era, where two of the numbers on this board are from this moment,” replied Berman. “If this were The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, you know, someone would say, Johnny would say, ‘You know, George Santos is unpopular, so unpopular.’ And they would say, ‘How unpopular is he?’ ‘He’s so unpopular…”

“That,” continued Enten, picking up where Berman left off,  “We mentioned George Santos’s favorable rating, 7%. That’s in New York’s third district, nationally for the other ones. The Earth is flat: 10% of Americans believe the Earth is flat. The U.S. faked the moon landing. Look at that, 12%. So the fact is, George Santos is less popular than a bunch of conspiracy theories that no one should believe, he is below the Mendoza line. You can pretty much get 10% of Americans to agree on anything. But even in New York’s third district, you can’t get 10% of voters to say that they like George Santos.”

“So George Santo is losing to the Earth is flat right now,” concluded Berman.

On Thursday, a House Ethics Committee report revealed that Santos had spent campaign funds on Botox, OnlyFans, and luxurious trips among other personal, discretionary expenses
