The Jewish Forward reports:
Newly obtained documents from the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services show that U.S. Rep. George Santos’ mother, Fatima A.C.H. Devolder, was not in the World Trade Center during the terrorist attacks on 9/11, as he has claimed.
While Santos has admitted to embellishing his resume and not being Jewish, he still maintains many outright falsehoods, including that his mother was in the World Trade Center on 9/11 and that the “ash cloud” caused her death 15 years later, in 2016.
Previously, the site’s “About George” section had also described George’s mother, Fatima A.C.H. Devolder, as a financial executive. The records show that she wasn’t a bean counter, but a bean picker. They also place Devolder in the Rio de Janeiro suburb of Niterói on Sept. 11, 2001.
Read the full article. There’s much more. Santos’ claims about his mother and 9/11 remain on his official campaign site at this writing.
First George Santos falsely claimed his mother died in the 9/11 attacks.
Then he walked it back and said she was in the South Tower during the attack, but died from the ash cloud 15 years later.
Documents now show she wasn’t even in New York on 9/11.https://t.co/XejWG5VO5V
