George Santos – news: Republican’s office vandalised as congressman’s latest lies revealed - The Independent

1675763700 Dogged by surely one of the oddest scandals to hit American politics in the last few years, George Santos was facing calls for his expulsion and resignation even before he was seated as representative for New York’s 3rd Congressional District.

1675752900 The Independent ’s senior US correspondent Richard Hall visited Long Island and Nassau County to find the real George Santos for the latest episode of On the Ground.

He told the outlet that he gave the agents text messages from Mr Santos, whom he claims raised $3,000 to save pit bull mix Sapphire but never handed it over.

1675745715 George Santos is facing backlash on Twitter for weighing in on the vote ousting Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee – after is lies about his Jewish heritage and his grandparents fleeing the Holocaust.

But, do not fret: The Independent is here, and we’re keeping track of the whole list of lies even as it continues to grow — both in number and in the sheer scale of the humiliation that it presents for not just Mr Santos, who remains adamant that he will serve two years in office as representative for New York’s third district, but for the Republican House caucus as a whole.

A man who repeatedly lied about his own history, from claiming his mother died on 9/11, to falsifying his education and net worth — not for love, but for donations, votes and influence — was elected to a seat in one of the most powerful legislative bodies in the world.
