Incoming Republican New York Congressman George Santos appears to have presented voters and the public at large with a personal history that’s positively riddled with falsehoods, according to a damning exposé from The New York Times.
For starters, Santos claimed that he earned degrees in economics and finance from Baruch College and New York University. However, when the Times inquired, neither school was able to locate any record of this attendance.
He could well face a House ethics investigation, but the timing of that seems to make it likely that, barring his resignation, he’ll be sworn in in January.
Just hours after the Times notified him about their pending report, looking like a man thrashing around for a lifeline, Santos posted a resounding endorsement of Kevin McCarthy, who’s in the midst of a tumultuous drive to become Speaker of the House.
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.
