George Santos skips Biden meet-and-greet event for new members of Congress

Embattled Rep. George Santos has snubbed President Biden, turning down a White House invite on Tuesday extended to all first-term lawmakers for a meeting with the 80-year-old commander-in-chief.

Santos (R-NY) was not listed on the White House’s list of attendees for the East Room reception, according to the Hill, and his office told Newsday that the disgraced lawmaker would be skipping the event.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday that Santos, like all new members, was invited to the ​​biennial event.
