The Republican who won a congressional seat on Long Island before his claims of being a wealthy, biracial, Ukrainian descendant of Holocaust survivors were debunked had, for a while, been generally consistent about two details in his improbable life: He has long said his first name is George and his last name is Santos.
But not always.
Before George Santos, 34, made a name for himself in politics, he had insisted on being called Anthony one of his middle names and often used his mothers maiden name, Devolder, eventually incorporating a company in Florida with that name.
He hated that we called him George, a former friend and onetime co-worker said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to avoid being associated with him publicly. His whole family called him Anthony. He wanted to be called Anthony. He would use the name Anthony Devolder.
