Damning holes in resume of congressman elect
A New York Times article on Monday revealed glaring holes in the résumé, of 34 -year-old Republican congressman-elect George Santos and in the days since, more damning exposés about his background have been published. Here are all the things Santos seems to have lied about and/or failed to disclose during his campaign:
Being Jewish his grandparents fled the Holocaust. (His maternal grandparents were born in Brazil, and there is no record of them in databases for European Jewish refugees, the Forward reported.)
Graduating from Baruch College. (There’s no record of this.)
Studying at NYU. (There’s no record of this.)
Working at Wall Street firms Goldman Sachs and Citigroup. (There’s no record of this.)
Employing four of the Pulse nightclub shooting victims. (There’s no record of this.)
Running an animal charity. (There’s no record of this.)
Being a landlord. (There’s no record of this.)
There are growing calls for the incoming member of Congress to resign and be investigated. Santos, who had flipped a Democrat-held seat in the midterms, remained silent for several days before saying on Thursday that he would answer questions next week
