George Santos, R-NY is a world-class lie-teller. He lies to get a job in Congress. This allows him to earn a good $174,000 per year.<\/p>\n<p>During the campaign, he lied on almost every point. He claimed he went to New York University and Baruch College. He also claimed that he worked for Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. His grandparents escaped the Holocaust. His mother was killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center.<\/p>\n<p>Wait, there\u2019s more. He lied to the public about his charity for rescued animals and cats. He also lied about owning rental properties and about having employees die in the Pulse nightclub shooting.<\/p>\n<p>But despite all those lies, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the new speaker of the House of Representatives, is not calling for Santos\u2019 ouster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe will continue to serve,\u201d McCarthy spoke of Santos.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy replied to reporters when Santos admitted that he had fabricated a large portion of his resume. \u201cSo did a lot of people here in the Senate and others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There you have it. According to the speaker, \u201ca lot\u201d Many Capitol Hill people have inflated their resumes to get jobs. McCarthy did not call for Santos&#8217; resignation, but he said that Santos would have to face the music eventually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI try to stick by the Constitution. The voters elected him to serve. If there is a concern, and he has to go through the Ethics [Committee], let him move through that,\u201d McCarthy stated.<\/p>\n<p>And the speaker said that Santos might just be able to serve out his term. \u201cIt\u2019s the voters who made that decision. He has to answer to the voters and the voters to make another decision in two years,\u201d McCarthy stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is going to have to build the trust here and he\u2019s going to have the opportunity to try to do that,\u201d He stated.<\/p>\n<p>Santos admitted to lying about his past but said \u201cI am not a criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis [controversy] will not deter me from having good legislative success. I will be effective. I will be good,\u201d He <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/12\/26\/rep-elect-george-santos-admits-fabricating-key-details-of-his-bio\/\">Submitted<\/a> The New York Post. \u201cMy sins here are embellishing my resume. I\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t graduate from any institution of higher learning. I\u2019m embarrassed and sorry for having embellished my resume,\u201d He stated. \u201cI own up to that \u2026 We do stupid things in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Santos, who was elected on November 8th to represent Long Island&#8217;s and Queens-based 3rd District in Congress, made a hilarious defense for his claim to being Jewish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never claimed to be Jewish,\u201d Santos said. \u201cI am Catholic. I declared Catholic after I learned that my maternal grandparents were Jewish. \u2018Jew-ish.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In that interview, Santos defiantly dismissed an allegation that he had a criminal charge filed against him in Brazil.\u00a0\u201cI am not a criminal here \u2014 not here or in Brazil or any jurisdiction in the world,\u201d Santos said. \u201cAbsolutely not. That didn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN, however, will come back later <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/01\/04\/politics\/george-santos-stolen-checks-brazil\/index.html\">reported<\/a> that Santos admitted to stealing a \u200bman\u2019s checkbook to buy clothing and shoes in Brazil in 2008. According to the network, Santos will be re-indicated by Brazilian law enforcement officials.<\/p>\n<p>Santos says he won\u2019t resign, even after being caught deceiving the people who put him in office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was elected to serve the people of #NY03 not the party &#038; politicians, I remain committed to doing that and regret to hear that local officials refuse to work with my office to deliver results to keep our community safe and lower the cost of living,\u201d He wrote it on Twitter. \u201cI will NOT resign!\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I was elected to serve my people. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NY03?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NY03<\/a> Not the party or politicians.

A number of New York GOP lawmakers have called for him to resign. Nearly four New York House Republicans believe Santos should resign shortly after Nassau County GOP officials called for it Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGeorge Santos\u2019 campaign last year was a campaign of deceit, lies and fabrication,\u201d Joe Cairo, chairman of the county GOP, spoke at a news conference together with other officials.<\/p>\n<p>Another newcomer to Congress, Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY), said in a statement Wednesday that he supports Cairo\u2019s call for Santos to resign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear that he cannot be an effective representative and it would be in the best interest of the taxpayers to have new leadership,\u201d Langworthy said. \u201cI will continue working with our local elected officials to ensure that trust and dignity are restored to the 3rd Congressional District.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
