According to several news outlets, Representative-elect GeorgeSantos fabricated large parts of his biography, including where he went to college, his employment history, and the fact that his grandparents were Jews. He admits that he made a lot of that up, but he doesn't plan to step down. His opponent called for him to resign so that they could face off again.

In an interview with the New York Post, he tried to address some of his fabrications. There is a lot of stuff here so please grab some water. He didn't graduate from college as he claimed. He said that Link Bridge, the company he worked for, did business with Goldman and Citigroup. He blamed it on a poor choice of words and not a lie to suggest he worked for the firms directly.

My sins here are making me look better on my resume. I didn't graduate from any institution of higher learning, I apologized to the Post. I apologize for exaggerating my resume. We do dumb things in life.

He said his grandmother told stories about converting from Judaism to Catholicism. I never claimed to be Jewish, so please be prepared for this direct quote. I'm a catholic. I said I was "Jew-ish" because I knew my maternal family was Jewish.

That is a lie according to the Republican Jewish Coalition. They said in a statement that they were deceived bySantos. He previously claimed to be a Jew. He began his tenure in Congress in a bad way. He will not be invited to any future events. Susan Collins voice said that it was "very disappointed" inSantos, but did not call for his resignation.

The first openly gay Republican elected to the House was accused of lying about his sexuality. He was married to a woman before he launched his failed 2020 House campaign, according to the Daily Beast.

The Post reported that he is married to a man. I've dated women before. A woman was married to me. He said that he is very much gay. I'm okay with who I am. The people are different. One of the people who change is me. The Daily Beast reported that the divorce was in September, less than two weeks before he launched his first campaign.

The New York Times couldn't find any ties between the 49 victims and the companies whereSantos worked. He said in an interview that he was going to hire them. Four people were going to be coming to work for the company that I was starting up in Florida.

The Times found that he had a Florida driver's license and was registered to vote in Florida in the year of the shooting, but he didn't give any more information about the company he was starting. The disgraced former congressman and ex-husband of Huma Abedin was interviewing John Catsimatidis, the owner of a grocery store chain.

During the campaign, he claimed to be in charge of his family's real-estate portfolio of 13 New York properties, but he admitted to the Post that he doesn't own any real estate.

The Times reported that he was charged for check fraud in Brazil after he stole someone's checkbook at 19 years old. He said that he was not a criminal here or in Brazil. It's absolutely not. It didn't happen.

The congressman-elect for New York's 3rd Congressional district, which includes parts of Long Island and Queens, will not step down despite multiple lies he has told. He believes he will be an effective lawmaker.

Santos told the Post that he intends to deliver on the promises he made during the campaign, including fighting crime, fighting inflation, and improving education.

The man seems to be a good liar. He will fit in with the Republicans.
