NPR reports:
A leading New York Republican says accusations that GOP Congressman-elect George Santos (R-NY) faked much of his biography are “serious.”
“I believe that George Santos deserves an opportunity to address the claims detailed in the article,” said Joseph Cairo Jr., the influential chairman of Nassau County’s Republican committee.
He referred to a story in the New York Times that appears to show key details of Santos’ official campaign bio were fabricated. “Every person deserves an opportunity to ‘clear’ his/her name in the face of accusations,” Cairo added, saying he looks forward to hearing Santos’ response.
Read the full article.
Virtually every aspect of Santos’s resume appears to be fake, including where he lives and where he worked.
If you didn’t read this morning’s New York Times report, prepare for your jaw to drop and then drop again when you see that he’s wanted for larceny in Brazil.
At this writing, Santos continues to remain silent even as his name was the #1 trending topic on Twitter on the day that Trump got four criminal referrals.

We have the opportunity of a lifetime to deliver real results for the American people. We MUST give the gavel to @kevinomccarthy to ensure we stop the disastrous policies the Dems have pushed for the last 2 years.
I encourage my colleagues to join me! Our country depends on it.

RT if @EliseStefanik should renounce support of wanted international criminal @Santos4Congress. Despite lying about graduating college, where he worked, and a pending fraud case in Brazil, Santos will soon be in Congress. Will Stefanik keep standing with Santos? #GOPFraud pic.twitter.com/f9ydBgygTm

The thing that really makes my blood boil about the Santos story is lying about employing victims of the Pulse Nightclub massacre. Using their tragedy as a shield is the mark of being rotted to the core by your lies. https://t.co/rNrGd2nKzd

Incoming NY Rep. George Santos seems to have lied about everything, including his education, job history, wealth, charities and criminal record. He also claims to have:
– Dated the entire cast of Magic Mike
– Invented cheese
– Told Kari Lake her short hairdo is really working pic.twitter.com/S3B7HC01qp— Paul Rudnick (@PaulRudnickNY) December 19, 2022
