George Santos is a Republican who was elected to represent in November Congress in one of the neighborhoods of New York. The politician rose to fame last week thanks to a New York Times investigation, which revealed inconsistencies related to his origin.
On Monday, Santos told the New York Post that he lied about his resume. He admitted that he had not worked “directly” at Goldman Sachs and Citigoup and that he was not a graduate of Baruch College in New York or any university.

The Republican also claimed ahead of the election that his mother was Jewish and his maternal grandparents fled the Holocaust during World War II. In turn, already during the election campaign, Santos described himself as a half-Jew or a Hispanic Jew. Now, however, he has admitted that he is a practicing Catholic.
The congressman-elect also appeared on Fox News where he struggled to explain the discrepancies in his resume. He gave a convoluted explanation of the letter in which he said he was a “proud American Jew.” Tulsi Gabbard, the interviewer, pointed out that there were “glaring lies” on her CV. “My question is, aren’t you ashamed?” the reporter asked at one point.

The politician tried to defend himself by trying to invoke the lies of the Democrats. Gabbard pointed out to him that voters might find it hard to believe what the MP-elect was saying now. Democrats are calling on Santos to step down, while Republicans are mostly silent on the issue.
The Nassau County District Attorney’s Office, which includes the county where the politician showed up, said “if a crime has been committed, he will be prosecuted.” “Residents must have an honest and responsible representative in Congress. No one is above the law, said Anne Donnelly. According to the prosecutor, the fabrications and inconsistencies associated with Santos are “mind blowing”.
