The Democrat who lost to GeorgeSantos in the race to represent New York's Third Congressional District is calling onSantos to resign after the New York Times published a bombshell investigation suggesting that he fabricated key parts of his resume.
Robert Zimmerman, who lost toSantos by 8 points in the election last month, said in a statement that the reality is thatSantos lied to the voters. He doesn't deserve to represent Long Island and Queens because he has violated the public trust.
Santos should resign because he failed to answer any of the questions about the allegations. It shows why there needs to be an investigation of the House Ethics Committee.

The resources of a campaign are not as significant as the New York Times, so it's unfair to blame the campaign for opposition research work.
Jacobs said the important thing was to focus on GeorgeSantos. There is a lot of explaining to be done.
