George Santos just threatened the NPR reporter who broke the story on his trading activity on Kalshi
Just in:
— NPR (@npr.org) 2026-06-04T23:48:54.310759Z
NPR reported on new federal investigations examining the former Congressman's bets on the prediction market site Kalshi. Then he threatened the NPR reporter who broke the story.

He then proceeded to name-call and attack the reputation of NPR, the kind of invective that's common when reporting on people who try to discredit reporters and news organizations for stories they don't like.
What Santos said next took me aback, even by his outlandish and brazen standards.
"This story is going to get you a gun in your face," Santos said.

It felt more bizarre than threatening, but then it grew even stranger and more confusing.
