Newsweek reports:
Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is defending New York Congressman-elect George Santos while he faces backlash for fabricating details of his personal and professional life.
Greene, of Georgia, praised her incoming GOP colleague for supposedly “being honest with his district now” in a series of tweets attacking Democrats on Tuesday.
Misrepresentations of his heritage prompted the Republican Jewish Coalition on Tuesday to disinvite Santos from attending any future group events.

The left doesn’t care about lying.
The real reason they’re attacking George Santos is that he the first openly gay Republican elected and they hate him for it.
I’m glad George is being honest with his district now and look forward to seeing how George legislates & votes.

Marjorie Taylor Greene falsely claimed George Santos is the “first openly gay Republican elected.”
Fact check: Steve Gunderson (R-WI), who won re-election in 1994, was first openly gay Republican to be elected to Congress. https://t.co/1jwmK760Gi
