Santos, 34, has acknowledged misrepresenting significant details about his religion, education and career. He has also previously suggested that he was Jewish.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. George Santos, the New York Republican who has acknowledged inventing significant parts of his life story, said his work in Congress “is not about my personal life” and vowed “to start delivering results.”
Santos’ first days in Washington were a focus of attention alongside days of Republican battles to choose a House speaker, which ended with Kevin McCarthy’s election in a 15th round of voting after he overcame a revolt by conservative holdouts. Santos also is increasingly isolated in his home district, which comprises parts of Long Island and the borough of Queens in New York City. The Nassau County Republican Party said it wouldn’t support his reelection in 2024, and he’s facing federal and local investigations.
