Long Island GOP Rep. George Santos ADMITS being serial liar who fibbed about his education and work experience, but tries to defend himself by insisting: 'I'm not a criminal'


Incoming New York Republican congressman George Santos has finally admitted that he lied about working at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, as well as attending New York University and CUNY Baruch College, describing it as 'resume embellishment.'

'I am not a criminal. Not here, not abroad, in any jurisdiction in the world have I ever committed any crimes,' Santos said in an interview with WABC radio.

'To get down to the nit and gritty, I'm not a fraud. I'm not a criminal who defrauded the entire country and made up this fictional character and ran for Congress. I've been around a long time. I mean, a lot of people know me. They know who I am. They've done business dealings with me,' he added.

'I'm not going to make excuses for this, but a lot of people overstate in their resumes, or twist a little bit. … I'm not saying I'm not guilty of that,' he said.

'I want to make sure that if I disappointed anyone by resume embellishment, I am sorry.'

'I am not a criminal,' Santos said. 'This [controversy] will not deter me from having good legislative success. I will be effective. I will be good.'

1. We need to hear from his constituents, particularly those who voted for Santos and whom he will be

representing in the US House of Representatives.
Some will say they wanted a Republican in office, regardless of what type of person he is, etc.
Others will be repulsed or scandalized by his lies and "embellishment".

The Republican establishment needs to hear how they think and feel now that Santos' story and resume has changed so completely.

Republicans may fine that retaining him may be more damaging than having him resign and finding another candidate.
Keep up the publicity on this fraud-person.

2. He is a fraud, you can not believe anything he says, end of story

Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining, judge judy

Someone needs to follow his money trail.

3. Ha-Ha!

... probably, this means crimes are next to surface!

[Captain Zero]

4. I'll bet $100 the Russians are behind him

If anyone cares to dig deep enough.

8. Yes quite possible. So odd that the press and his opponents kept his lies secret.

The lies are so blatant that anyone could have easily busted Santos.
But they didn't.

6. Yes

It would not surprise me. But it doesn't matter, he will be seated no matter what. It is very depressing. The whole LI congressional map was red last I saw on tv.

[raccoon]

5. Yeah right.

[Scrivener7]

7. He should not be allowed to be seated.

9. Just another GOP con man.

10. Embellishment?

The whole thing is made up. That's not embellishment. It's lying.

11. if your doctor said that, how fast would you run

i work in telecom.
For a while providers came and went and i worked for several.

presented a problem with my resume as i was told during an interview that I had good experience, but he could not verify any of it.
You can not call hr if the company is gone

but these companies still exist.

12. He's "not a criminal"?

Boy that bar for GOP candidates is low.
