WASHINGTON — It started on the floor of the House, in an unrehearsed yet strikingly irritable trade not long before the Condition of the Association address.

Congressperson Glove Romney, the Utah conservative known for his party-kicking stands and accentuation on moral integrity, should have been visible chiding Delegate George Santos, the New York rookie who faces different examinations in the wake of manufacturing quite a bit of his list of references.

Mr. Romney counseled Mr. Santos for situating himself in a great camera-prepared spot in the chamber, saying he didn’t have a place there, and had no disgrace.

“I didn’t expect that he’d be remaining there attempting to warmly greet each congressperson and the leader of the US,” Mr. Romney expressed subsequently to correspondents who got some information about the occurrence, which was caught on camera and ejected via virtual entertainment.

He added: “Given the way that he’s under morals examination, he ought to be sitting in the back line and remaining silent as opposed to strutting before the president and individuals coming into the room.”

After the strained trade between the two conservatives, the generally lively Mr. Santos looked marginally stung and afterward irritated. The unfriendly experience hung out in an ocean of legislators, happy giving and joyfully welcoming each other.

The Utah conservative, in his comments to columnists, let it all out, calling Mr. Santos “a wiped out doggy” who ought to leave — a place that puts Mr. Romney in conflict with Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California and the House authority. Among the misrepresentations set forward by Mr. Santos are declarations that he worked at Goldman Sachs, moved on from school, had grandparents who escaped the Holocaust, and a mother who got away from the World Exchange Place on Sept. 11, 2001.

Mr. Romney told journalists such proclamations are not just distortions.

“He says he, you know, that he adorned his record. See, decorating is saying you got an A when you got A-. Lying is saying you moved on from a school that you didn’t join in, and he ought not to be in Congress.”

The experience was in numerous ways rare for Romney, who was one of a handful of conservatives to decide in favor of impugning President Donald J. Trump and has not shied from resisting his party’s base. A one-time priest in the Congregation of Jesus Christ of Modern Holy people, Mr. Romney, 75, frequently approaches his situations in profoundly upright terms.

“He ought not to be in Congress,” Mr. Romney said. “Assuming he had any disgrace whatsoever, he wouldn’t be there.”

In any case, the second was likewise one of a kind Santos, who seems to appreciate just consideration and was resolved not to give Romney the last word, offering a last insult on Twitter.

Soon after the discourse finished, Mr. Santos tweeted at Mr. Romney, the party’s bombed 2012 official candidate, that he could never come to the White House.
