The freshman Republican Congressman George Santos has gotten himself into quite a political – No, a Criminal Dilemma! The DOJ has levied 13 criminal charges on him from making false statements, and theft of public funds, to money laundering.
Rep. Santos was widely known to have gotten elected into Congress through a web of lies. Starting with the untrue statements of working at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, attending college on a volleyball scholarship, selling multi-million dollar yachts, claiming a Jewish heritage, and grandparents fleeing the Holocaust. Alleging his mom was at the Twin Towers on 911 and as a result, contracted cancer causing her demise It was clearly proven she was in Brazil at the time. By the way, he did accept the guilt of writing stolen checks taken from his mother’s former employer in 2008. Only recently did he admit to the crime and ended up cutting a deal and paying an equivalent $5 thousand dollar fine for the crime.
Without exception, Rep. Santos has a problem with the truth. Yet, McCarthy and most of the GOP Congress have little to say when the story first broke four months ago until today. Seems their attempt to hang on to the majority and power is their utmost priority rather than police their own. – Shall lies trump the truth?
