A New York Times report from earlier this month revealed Rep.-elect George Santos embellished his education and business experience.
from earlier this month revealed that multiple large companies where he claimed to have worked had no record of his employment; that there was no trace of him at Baruch College, where he said he earned a diploma; and that his disclosures about the Devolder Organization, a firm that Santos incorporated and claimed which managed $80 million, revealed no known clients or assets.
Yet Santos suggested that, because a firm where he worked had done business with the companies where he claimed to be employed, he had not actually “lied.”Santos also pushed back on criticism that he misrepresented his religious identity. During the campaign, he referred to himself both as a Catholic and a “nonobservant Jew,” according to the Times.
“He deceived us and misrepresented his heritage,” Matt Brooks, the RJC’s chief executive, said in the statement. “He has begun his tenure in Congress on a very wrong note.”
