George Santos Scandal: NY congressman-elect investigated for lying about past | LiveNOW from FOX

As Rep.-elect George Santos gets closer to being sworn in, calls for the 34-year-old Republican to resign are growing louder, amid federal and local investigations.

Santos has already acknowledged he lied about his heritage, education, and professional pedigree as he campaigned for office, and sources have reported that there was no record that Santos ever went to Horace Mann Prep in the Bronx, as he claimed.

Questions were first raised about Santos earlier this month when The New York Times published an investigation into his resume and found a number of major discrepancies. Since then, Santos has admitted lying about having Jewish ancestry, lying about working for Wall Street banks and lying about obtaining a college degree.

Good to see the Republican Party calling him out. (Well at least 2 members of the Republican Caucus anyway). The rest are just wondering what the problem is.

Someone needs to verify Santos’ birth certificate!!

THIS IS SADLY A REPUBLICAN ISSUE. tHE FACT THAT HIS BACKGROUND WAS NOT CHECKED OUT IS A DECREASE! HE SIMPLY SHOULD NOT BE SWORN INTO CONGRESS..THIS IS DEPRESSING FOR REPUBLICANS BUT IT DOES PUT A SPOTLIGHT ON THE LOW LEVEL OF REPORTING IN THE US!

And the rest of the Republicans are like....crickets. They really have No shame.

Are you sure his name is even George?? .... He's lied about everything so far I bet his name is really Larry

If I lied on my job application, I would be fired immediately! This guy lied not only on a " job" application; he lied to the federal government since this is an elected position! And that's a felony! He belongs in jail!

"Did I lie? No, I just embellished a lot of things to make them seem true because they're not. Am I a fraud? No!" - George Santos, 2022

Stop Another Non-Truthful Office Seeker (SANTOS) Act and the man’s name spells this out...
Wow! What are the chances?

[mosquitoinyourears]

Trump has managed to unleash the very end of the conservative movement

[rockrasheed]

HE NEVER TOOK OUT A STUDENT LOAN AND HE WILL BE MAKING 172k A YEAR??

[richhauxwell]

Remove all Liars from Congress.
OOOOPS no Congress

[KELL]

The reason people like this think they can lie is because we have a President that lies about absolutely everything and no one ever calls him out.

[caryaban]

didn't he just did what Joe Biden is done??

[suehowie]

Imagine sitting down and creating this scam... Imagine being this calculated.. Wonder if he did it all by himself or did he have help...

[queenqueen-prev]

Trump got away with it ! It’s time that we make every politician accountable for there words! ALL POLITICIANS! No matter what party!

[bryanbui]

How about Joe Brandon? He also lied about his education and family business. Should he be fired too?

[criticaldan]

Sounds like a perfect Republican, not sure why the anger? Weird.

[felsonj]

Does Andy Mac have a resting smile or is he holding back the giggles? Guy can’t stop smiling even when the reporter is talking about Santos lying about his mother’s death.

[CDK_Angelus_Mortis]

I got messages directly from him from 4 years ago!!! I can definitely share them!!

As long as he identifies as a college graduate he IS a college graduate. Trans graduates ARE graduates. Same with his being Jewish or anything else he identifies as.
