Long Island GOP leader says he has proof Rep. George Santos admitted to crimes in Brazil

NEW YORK -- A Long Island Republican party leader says he has proof Rep. George Santos, who lied about much of his resume and life story, admitted to crimes in Brazil.

Meantime, the Santos campaign office in Douglaston, Queens appeared to be closed again Monday as new videos of the embattled congressman emerged.

One video involved Baruch College, a school Santos never attended.

"I actually went to school on a volleyball scholarship. We went to play against Harvard, Yale, and we slayed them. Look, I sacrificed both my knees and got very nice knee replacements from HSS playing volleyball. That's how serious I took the game," Santos said.

"I feel betrayed," one voter said.

Make sure he's around long enough that everyone comes to see him as "The Face of the Republican Party." That couldn't happen to a better bunch of assholes. They knew he was a crook, ignored it, and ran him anyway. Hope he sticks to them like an idiot who super-glued his hand to his ass.

I went to Baruch - when did they put in a gym? Or do they go play out in the traffic on 23rd Street?
