George Anthony Devolder Santos (/ˈsɑːntoʊs/; born July 22, 1988) is an American politician who is the U.S. representative-elect from New York's 3rd congressional district, having first been elected in 2022. A member of the Republican Party, his district covers part of northern Long Island and northeast Queens.

Biography

Santos has made numerous false claims about his biography, work history and financial status, in public and private. Questions about his finances emerged in September 2022 in The North Shore Leader, a local Long Island publication. Six weeks after the election, numerous news outlets began reporting that large parts of his self-reported biography appear to be fabricated, including claims about his ancestry, education, employment, charity work, property ownership[2] and crimes he claimed to be the victim of. Santos has admitted to lying and, as of late December 2022, is under investigation by federal, state, and county authorities.

Santos claimed that his mother's parents were Ukrainian Jews who fled from the Holocaust to Brazil, but records obtained by several sources showed that his mother's parents were born in Brazil and none of her ancestors were Ukrainian or Jewish. Despite originally claiming to have "Jewish background beliefs" and calling himself a "a proud American Jew", Santos later said that "I never claimed to be Jewish...I said I was 'Jew-ish'."

There have been several judgments against Santos in eviction and personal debt cases in the United States, involving thousands of dollars. In 2008, he confessed to check fraud charges in Brazil, but did not appear in court, leaving the case unresolved.[6] Santos denied committing a crime and said, "I'm not a wanted criminal in any jurisdiction"; Brazilian authorities revived the case after his other falsehoods were discovered.

After unsuccessfully running for Congress in 2020, Santos was elected in 2022.

Commentary

To the troll defending Santos:

Your comparisons are feeble. George Santos is a deeply sociopathic liar, and apparently a conduit for illegal money, advanced by the GOP to deceive the electorate.
