A soon-to-be Republican member of Congress was dragged heavily on social media for his response to a series of reports that suggest most of his biography has been faked. The New York Times reported that the Rep.-elect misrepresented his education, work history, and source of income on his resume. The Daily Beast reported thatSantos, who said he was gay all his life, had divorced a woman in September of last year, something he didn't mention during his congressional campaign. CNN reported that the claim that his grandparents "survived the Holocaust" didn't hold up to scrutiny. Murray initially claimed that the Times story was politically motivated, but didn't address any of the paper's allegations. On Thursday, he made an attempt at damage control by saying that he had his story to tell and that it would be told next week. To the people of #NY03 I have my story to tell and it will be told next week. I want to assure everyone that I will address your questions and that I remain committed to deliver the results I campaigned on; Public safety, Inflation, Education & more. Happy Holidays to all!
George Santos is a congressman.
It shouldn't take a week for someone to simply tell the truth, that's what many people on the social networking site thought.
Dude, it doesn’t take a week to tell people if you’re really Jewish, if you really have an MBA from NYU, if you’re really even gay. Here, I’ll go first:1. No.2. No.2. Yes.
See how easy that was? Only person who needs a week is the guy trying to figure out his lies. https://t.co/0pIou0RmGZ

Why do you need a full week to confirm if you live where you said you did, worked where you said you did, went to school where you said you did…? https://t.co/ioGFGVVvV7

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩If George Santos needs a week to prepare before he can tell us who he actually is, he's not planning on telling us who he actually is.
His 🚩s have 🚩s https://t.co/DeTBF9VGW9

No Jewish, not gay (?), not a pet charity operator, not a former investment banker, not a Baruch College grad, but still against inflation! https://t.co/JbdE4Gb0LX

It was the holiday greeting that really caught the attention of some users.
