George Santos is known as the Long Island Liar and is an excellent piece of work.<\/p>\n<p>Already, the New York Republican has admitted to uttering a number of lies during his campaign for Congress. A new allegation, if true would make him more deplorable.<\/p>\n<p>Santos allegedly conned a disabled and homeless military veteran out of thousands of dollars \u2014 which were donated to help save the man\u2019s dying service dog, Patch <a href=\"https:\/\/patch.com\/new-york\/oysterbay\/disabled-veteran-george-santos-took-3k-dying-dogs-gofundme\">reported<\/a> Wednesday<\/p>\n<p>The veteran, Richard Osthoff, told Patch that he met Santos \u2014 who introduced himself as Anthony Devolder \u2014 when he was going through tough times in May 2016. Osthoff served in the Navy, and was honorably discharged in 2002. He was living in a tent in an old chicken coop in New Jersey, with his service dog Sapphire.<\/p>\n<p>Sapphire was diagnosed with a serious stomach cancer. Osthoff, now 47 years old, sought out help and found that it would cost $3,000. Osthoff was told by a veterinary technician that he knew someone who managed a pet charity. Anthony Devolder was the man who ran the pet charity Friends of Pets United.<\/p>\n<p>Osthoff, and another veteran New Jerseyan, retired police sergeant. Michael Boll \u201ctold Patch that Santos closed the GoFundMe he set up for Sapphire after it raised $3,000 on social media and disappeared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe stopped answering my texts and calls,\u201d Osthoff spoke to the local news station.<\/p>\n<p>Boll stated that he reached out to the man from the pet charity and told him. \u201cYou\u2019re messing with a veteran,\u201d You should ask him to return the cash so Ostoff could have another service dog. \u201cHe was totally uncooperative on the phone,\u201d Boll stated.<\/p>\n<p>Sapphire was killed in the ensuing chaos. Ostoff is said to have had a last conversation with Santos. He claimed that Santos told him that Ostoff died because he was pregnant. \u201cdidn\u2019t do things my way,\u201d Santos had transferred the GoFundMe funds to the charity. \u201cfor other dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a message, Santos wrote, \u201cRemember it is our credibility that got GoFundme [\u2026] to contribute. We are audited like every 501c3 and we are with the highest standards of integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But (shocker) that wasn\u2019t true, either. The New York Times published December&#8217;s article. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/12\/19\/nyregion\/george-santos-ny-republicans.html\">reported<\/a> The charity was not registered as a nonprofit.<\/p>\n<p>Santos lied on almost everything during the 2022 election. He claimed he attended New York University, Baruch College, and that he worked at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. He also stated that his grandparents escaped from the Holocaust. Santos also claimed that his mother was killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center.<\/p>\n<p>Santos admitted to lying about his past, but said that \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\/\">told<\/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 said. \u201cI own up to that \u2026 We do stupid things in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Santos made a funny defense of his claim that he was Jewish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never claimed to be Jewish,\u201d Santos said. \u201cI am Catholic. &#8220;I am Catholic because I found out my maternal family was 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 will follow suit <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 brought back under fraud charges by law enforcement officers in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has been covering politics for 35+ years, 12 of which were as a White House correspondent for a national paper.
