Geo-oh, oh, oh, Ozempic – he knows.
Expelled Congressman George Santos is back on Ozempic in a bid to lose 70 pounds. The New York native tells Page Six exclusively that after he lost more than 100 pounds with the celebrity-beloved weight loss drug, the stress of his alleged crimes took a toll and he gained weight.
