George Santos's Mother Did Not Die on 9/11

The tall tales from Congressman-elect George Santos keep piling up.

After the New York Times revealed that Santos had appeared to fabricate most of his life story, additional reporting has suggested that the newly elected congressman likely lied about having Jewish heritage and having employed people who were killed in the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting, among other things. Now Santos’s past statements, including social-media posts, are getting more scrutiny. For instance, in a 2021 tweet, Santos said the September 11 attack “claimed his mother’s life.” But his campaign biography stated that she worked in the South Tower and fled her office safely, later dying of cancer. In another tweet months later, Santos cited December 23 as the anniversary of her death.

Reporters also unearthed old posts from Santos in which he classified himself as biracial, something he didn’t mention during his campaign.
