https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/28/politics/george-santos-false-claims-kfile/index.htmlU.S. Representative-elect George Santos, a New York Republican who acknowledged lying about his education and employment history while running for Congress,
Rep.-elect George Santos made additional false claims over the years about his family history, work history and education in campaign appearances over the years, a review of statements made in two of his campaigns for Congress found.
CNNs KFile uncovered more falsehoods from Santos, including claims he was forced to leave a New York City private school when his familys real estate assets took a downturn and stating he represented Goldman Sachs at a top financial conference where he berated the company for investing in renewables.
CNN also reviewed more instances of Santos providing additional false history of his familys background. In one interview, Santos said his mothers familys historical Jewish name was Zabrovsky, and later appeared to operate a GoFundMe campaign for a pet charity (which he falsely claimed was a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) under that alias. Genealogists CNN previously spoke with found no evidence of Jewish or Ukrainian heritage in his family tree.
In another, he said his mother, whose family has lived in Brazil since the late 1800s, was a White immigrant from Belgium.

You'll have to ask the Kremlin. But you'll have to give them 700k for the correct answer. n/t

If he is, he may want to keep away from fifth-floor windows now that his cover is blown.
Komrade Vlad will be pissed.

New York? Florida? Brazil? Do we know? I've never seen it.

It's going to take a criminal conviction, at least, to dislodge this carbuncle from a seat in Congress.

Highly recommended if one likes colorful fables.
Seriously, as I read it my head was spinning with all the lies. This guy couldnt go to the drugstore for toothpaste without turning it in to a hard luck story about being Jewish.
If he ends up being charged, his lawyers will have the same dilemma as trump: cant put him on the stand because literally everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie.
