Rep.-elect George Santos, who has been knee deep in controversy over his apparent affinity for lies and falsehoods, named former President Donald Trump as an inspiration behind his initial run for Congress in 2020. The former president was named as a source of inspiration bySantos in a clip that was shared on Wednesday. The New York Republican told the former president's daughter-in-law that he is the most organic president in the history of our nation. These people love him because he shocked the nation. What's the reason? It took a billionaire to become the President of the United States. He said that he attended business school because of Donald Trump. If Donald Trump made it, it was time for everyone to have an opportunity. The Democrats can't take that away. George Santos to Lara Trump in 2021: “I went to business school because of Donald Trump.

December 28, 2022 is the anniversary of the founding of the United States of America.
He lost to the incumbent by a margin of 46,000 votes after initially running to replace him.
Like Trump, Santos claimed his election loss was due to fraud. After Election Day, he conceded to his opponent.
He referred to the former president's "full awesomeness" on Jan. 6, 2021, during his appearance on the show.
He condemned the violence during the Capitol riot, which he described as a sad and dark day in U.S. history.
