Rep. George Santos Thoughts?

I've read several interesting articles on this newcomer, none of which paint a very flattering picture of him, he claimed to have multiple college degree's, a masters, etc. Yet when several reporters reached out to the colleges he claimed to attend they had absolutely no record of him ever attending those schools. He then claimed to be a Wall Street financier and investor, yet representatives from Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, where he claimed to have worked said they had no record of his employment. To top it all off, now he's claiming that his grandparents survived the holocaust. Which several genealogists along with the holocaust museum say that there's zero evidence to back his claim up.
What truly vexes me, is why you would lie about these kinds of things when it's so easy to debunk them. It's one thing to embellish your resume a little, it's a totally different thing to make the above mentioned claims. Anyways, just thought I'd see what your thoughts are on the matter.

Maybe it was just a gaffe. You know, like whats-his-name.
Are you sure you aren't confusing him with Biden?? Sounds just like him.
He is just another lying politician rep in NYC most likely a RINO that will sell his soul to whoever will pay...
lol, yeah definitely not Biden this time around. It just seems strange to me at least to lie about things like this which can be so easily debunked..
Sounds like your typical run of the mill politician to me. Every time one opens their mouth, a new lie is born!
I'm having a hard time imagining that a politician would lie.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I guess sometimes you just have to steal something from the Democrat Rule Book..
The GOP house should censure him and ban him from any committee assignments. He was voted in and can’t be expelled, but should be an object lesson for the future.

Well I have to agree but if you think the politicians are liars, main stream media lies are exponential. If you are a DEMOCRAT, the media will do their lying for them.
I agree and that would be the Intelligent and responsible thing to do. Of course we are talking about politicians, so I doubt if that will happen as most are neither intelligent or responsible. Bob
The Republicans taking the high road is the reason we have gotten where we are..
What Don and Bob said.
That's kind of like when none of his supposed class-mates at Obama's claimed Ivy League colleges could remember ever seeing him there.
You will notice that all the Democrats do is lie and that's fine..but let one Republican and it's the end of the world..
It looks like Brazil is now trying to pursue the check fraud against him as well, it's not like he's going to be extradited over it, but still it's pretty crazy. I just don't understand why you would lie about things that can be SO easily proven to be false. He essentially lied about his entire upbringing, being from an extremely wealthy family with properties all over, going to an expensive prep school, his various college degree's, working at multiple financial institutions as an investment banker, setting up a charity (which he's now being investigated for.) etc. It's also come out that multiple friends loaned him a fairly large amount of money which he never paid back and they actually took him to court over it and he was ordered to pay it back which apparently he still hasn't done. He also hosted fundraisers for some sort of animal shelter or organization of some sort then pocketed the money. Plus there's the whole being Jewish, and his family "surviving" the holocaust. Not to mention his mother being some sort of banking executive and being in one of the towers on 9/11 and her dying years after the fact due to exposure to the fallout from the towers collapsing. Sure politicians lie, it doesn't matter which side of the isle they sit on, it's pretty much a guarantee, but this guy has lied about literally EVERYTHING.. The extent of the lies just seem crazy..
put him in the same room as shiffty shifft
He is there for some reason. There is no way people on both sides did not know about this man. They allowed him to be elected for some reason. And McCarthy said he had given him his word that he would behave from now on, which would make McCarthy a fool if he took his word for anything.
If he was a Democrat, he would be high on the list for 2024.
sure hes not?
