Republican Congressman George Santos, the subject of numerous investigations after deploying a network of lies, joins the House of Representatives on Tuesday
Amid the scandal for lying about numerous aspects of his record, incoming Republican congressman from New York City and Long Island, George Santos, entered the House of Representatives on Tuesday. Although subject to numerous investigations, including one announced Monday in Brazil over the alleged theft of a checkbook in 2008, Democrat Tom Suozzi, who lost his seat to Santos, defined the day in an op-ed in “The New York Times’. with the stinging headline “A Swindler Replaces Me in Congress Today.”
Santos “The Liar” unfolded a web of lies hand-picked to tick all the boxes in a political popularity contest: being the descendant of a wealthy, biracial (part black) Ukrainian Jewish descendant of Holocaust survivors. He also said he has contributed to the development of carbon capture technology, having worked at companies such as Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, as well as degrees from Baruch College and New York University. Numerous investigations by the press confirmed that no record of him existed in any of these cases.
With a guts that set a new record in political lies, he went so far as to confirm in a tweet that “he took his mother’s life on September 11,” when in fact she died in 2016.
Wrapped in a plot worthy of the novelist Patricia Highsmith, the talented Santos has also been unable to explain where the $700,000 came from, which he defined as “own funds”, with which he financed his election campaign. Two years earlier, he stated in a financial report that he had no relevant assets or income.
Santos has admitted to being guilty of “beautifying” his resume, but not “a criminal who defrauded the country by making up a fictional character” in order to get elected. The only thing that seems to be true so far is his name and his claim that he is gay.
