is he an american citizen? he is wanted for fraud in brazil, but even if he was brought to the usa as a child (that is one of his many stories), unless he became naturalized (a very difficult process for such "dreamers," who are technically illegal immigrants.) he is not able to vote much less serve in congress.
As soon as the next session of Congress begins someone is going to recommend that the Ethics Committee look in to his background. Will the Repubs allow it? It's a toss-up. After all, a number of Repubs in the House refused to comply with valid subpoenas from the 1/6 committee and you can bet they will face no consequences with Repubs in charge. Who Is Rep.-Elect George Santos? His Résumé May Be Largely Fiction. George Santos, whose election to Congress on Long Island last month helped Republicans clinch a narrow majority in the House of Representatives, built his candidacy on the notion that he was the “full embodiment of the American dream” and was running to safeguard it for others. His campaign biography amplified his storybook journey: He is the son of Brazilian immigrants, and the first openly gay Republican to win a House seat as a non-incumbent. By his account, he catapulted himself from a New York City public college to become a “seasoned Wall Street financier and investor” with a family-owned real estate portfolio of 13 properties and an animal rescue charity that saved more than 2,500 dogs and cats. But a New York Times review of public documents and court filings from the United States and Brazil, as well as various attempts to verify claims that Mr. Santos, 34, made on the campaign trail, calls into question key parts of the résumé that he sold to voters. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/19/nyregion/george-santos-ny-republicans.html
Who vets these people and who paid off his debts before he entered politics.....sounds like powerful people buying votes and a bought and paid for stooge.
It's remarkable that he was able to pull off this fraud in today's day and age when information is so readily available. The Dem who ran against him must be kicking him/herself.
Who knows? Ilhan Omar likely wasn't her name. https://nypost.com › 2020 › 01 › 26 › fbi-reviewing-claims-ilhan-omar-married-her-brother FBI burying reviewing claims Ilhan Omar married her brother - New York Post 'The 38-year-old's complicated personal life has been the subject of enduring scrutiny since she was sent to Congress at the 2018 midterm elections.

is "Peter Henderson" 67stingray@gmx.com...."Pop Ware" 67stingray@gmx.com....."JRB ware" 67stingray@gmx.com... his real name? is Barack Hussein Obama II / Barry Soetoro /Sobarkah his real name?
Oh I think it's great if it means the Dems are coming around to the FACT that anchor babies aren't citizens. If the RINOS had any balls, this would have already been taken care of. Let's kick him out and 75 million more just like him.
and a veteran, and every line on my resume is literally true, but i asm not a congressman nor am i selling any fraud investments.
once he releases a birth certificate and it's verified, and it proves his identity, yes it would be, that did not stop republicans like Trump though
what's ok, questioning before you know the truth, or attacking him after you know the truth - one is wrong, the other is fine
NY Rep.-elect Santos admits lying about career, college Rep.-elect George Santos, R-N.Y., admitted Monday that he lied about his job experience and college education during his successful campaign for a seat in the U.S. House. In an interview with the New York Post, Santos said: “My sins here are embellishing my resume. I’m sorry.” He also told the newspaper: “I campaigned talking about the people’s concerns, not my resume” and added, “I intend to deliver on the promises I made during the campaign.” The New York Times raised questions last week about the life story that Santos, 34, had presented during his campaign. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/27/ny-rep-elect-santos-admits-lying-about-career-college.html Let's see if the "Trump Standard" applies to Santos. That is, the Repubs who voted for him only claiming to care about his policy positions and not things like pathological lying, adulterous affairs, immoral behavior, and being a tax cheat.
He was evicted twice but funneled $700,000 into his campaign. We know that Walker and Oz were propped. Santos is second string. Our question should be "Who is bankrolling him and why?"
Senior House Republicans were apparently aware of the inaccuracies and embellishments in the member-elect’s resume, and the topic became a “running joke,” multiple insiders close to House GOP leadership told The Post over the weekend. “As far as questions about George in general, that was always something that was brought up whenever we talked about this race,” said one senior GOP leadership aide. “It was a running joke at a certain point. This is the second time he’s run and these issues we assumed would be worked out by the voters.” https://nypost.com/2022/12/26/rep-elect-george-santos-admits-fabricating-key-details-of-his-bio/ Wait...........what? Leadership knew Santos was a fraud and did nothing? Imagine how loudly Repubs on the board would be screaming about Nancy Pelosi's corruption if the roles were reversed. I guess we now can make an informed assumption about whether Santos will be disciplined by the Ethics Committee.
My favorite lie Santos told was he owned 7 properties when in fact he lives with his sister. The largest remaining question being where the $700K he "loaned himself" came from? It seems dark money may be at play here.
The guy is a piece of work that can’t be trusted with power. Just what tRumpublicans are looking for.
If he joins the other members of Congress he'll be in good company. He might even be looked upon with envy by the other members.
