What!? A republican that may not be honest!? HawHawHaw!
George Santos, whose election to Congress on Long Island in New York
last month helped Republicans clinch a narrow majority in the House of Representatives, built his candidacy on the notion that he was the “full embodiment of the American dream” and was running to safeguard it for others.
His campaign biography amplified his storybook journey: He is the son of Brazilian immigrants, and the first openly gay Republican to win a House
seat as a non-incumbent. By his account, he catapulted himself from a
New York City public college to become a “seasoned Wall Street financier and investor” with a family-owned real estate portfolio of 13 properties and an animal rescue charity that saved more than 2,500 dogs and cats.
But a New York Times review of public documents and court filings from
the United States and Brazil, as well as various attempts to verify
claims that Santos, 34, made on the campaign trail, calls into question
key parts of the resume that he sold to voters.
Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, the marquee Wall Street firms on Santos’ campaign biography, told The New York Times they had no record of his
ever working there. Officials at Baruch College, which Santos has said
he graduated from in 2010, could find no record of anyone matching his
name and date of birth graduating that year.
There was also little evidence that his animal rescue group, Friends of
Pets United, was, as Santos claimed, a tax-exempt organization: The
Internal Revenue Service could locate no record of a registered charity
with that name.
His financial disclosure forms suggest a life of some wealth. He lent
his campaign more than $700,000 during the midterm election, has donated thousands of dollars to other candidates in the last two years and
reported a $750,000 salary and more than $1 million in dividends from
his company, the Devolder Organization.
Yet the firm, which has no public website or LinkedIn page, is something
of a mystery. On a campaign website, Santos once described Devolder as
his “family’s firm” that managed $80 million in assets. On his congressional financial disclosure, he described it as a capital
introduction consulting company, a type of boutique firm that serves as
a liaison between investment funds and deep-pocketed investors. But
Santos’ disclosures did not reveal any clients, an omission three
election law experts said could be problematic if such clients exist.
And while Santos has described a family fortune in real estate, he has
not disclosed, nor could the Times find, records of his properties.
Santos’ 8-point victory, in a district in northern Long Island and northeast Queens that previously favored Democrats, was considered a
mild upset. He had lost decisively in the same district in 2020 to Tom Suozzi, then the Democratic incumbent, and had seemed to be too wedded
to former President Donald Trump and his stances to flip his fortunes.
His appearance earlier this month at a gala in Manhattan attended by
white nationalists and right-wing conspiracy theorists underscored his
ties to Trump’s right-wing base.
At the same time, new revelations uncovered by the Times — including the omission of key information on Santos’ personal financial disclosures,
and criminal charges for check fraud in Brazil — have the potential to create ethical and possibly legal challenges once he takes office.
Santos did not respond to repeated requests from the Times that he
furnish either documents or a resume with dates that would help to substantiate the claims he made on the campaign trail. He also declined
to be interviewed, and neither his lawyer nor Big Dog Strategies, a Republican-oriented political consulting group that handles crisis management, responded to a detailed list of questions.

Congressman in waiting Santos seems to a really pulled off his
charade with panache! Bet he shines like "Richard Corey"! What an
operator! Sometimes I wonder if the population at large hasn't been
honed down by too much of nuthin', to the mindset of professional
wrestling? Didn't anyone simply google the silver tongued film-flammer? >>>>
A friend of Google
that a lot of what you would see is recent news and old bullshit. The
opposition had figured out some of this, but said they didn't have a lot >>> of money to spend on opposition research. He looks like a hard guy to
track down because his name keeps changing.
And this does just get better and better. Our supposedly gay man
recently divorced a woman and they can't find any record of his claimed
marriage to a man. As a supposedly gay Republican he's perfectly happy
to support Florida's "don't say gay" bill.
"Openly Gay’ Rep.-Elect George Santos Didn’t Disclose Divorce With Woman
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
Santos ran his campaign as an openly gay Republican. Since he was
elected, a number of key biographical details have started to crumble.
Here’s the latest one."

It could happen. I knew a drag queen who was a very gay army
veteran married to a very gay woman. They had kids together and remained >>> friends after the marriage didn't make sense any more. I also knew a
woman who had been married for 15 years and had no idea her husband was
gay until he came out to her.
He's says he's going to explain everything next week. I expect
that this is just another lie.

HTF did he ever get elected, especially as a Republican? It seems
like his campaign would drawn lots of attention from some kind of
media? Why am I always one of the last to get hip on "what's
happenin' now?" Congressman in waiting Santos is an absolute
Maestro! I can't wait to see the movie! `

The Republicans eat up bullshit with a big spoon when the con men tell them what they want to hear. "Hey he's gay and Jewish and he
believes the same things we believe." What a coincidence! He was telling them, that as a gay man, he didn't see anything wrong with the "don't
say gay law". That was music to their ears. It looks like a lot of
people have been late figuring out what's going on.
"CBS News has spoken with a pastor, Father Jose Carlos da Silva, of
Saint Rita's Catholic Church, in Long Island City, Queens, who says he
knew Santos' family, the Devolders, well. The Devolders came to the
church once in a while, he told CBS News. The family, including George Santos, was Catholic, says da Silva.
He also said that when Santos' mother, Fatima Devolder, died in 2016,
Santos approached him to ask for help from the church. Da Silva had ministered to the family during Devolder's illness, and soon after she
died, Santos told da Silva that the family couldn't afford a funeral.
A memorial mass was held at the church, which held a collection for the family. Da Silva said he didn't count the money collected, but recalled
that the amount raised was significant, and that he handed the
collection directly to Santos. But da Silva's portrayal of the family's financial condition is at odds with the biography presented by Santos.
His campaign website paints a picture of success: "George's work ethic
comes from his mother, who came from nothing, but worked her way up to
be the first female executive at a major financial institution. On
September 11, 2001, George's mother was in her office in the South
Tower. She survived the horrific events of that day, but unfortunately
passed away a few years later."
CBS News has also verified evidence of a brush with the law in Brazil by Santos, first reported by The New York Times. A 2013 public notice from
a Rio de Janeiro court accused Santos of embezzlement, though it did not elaborate on the charges. It identified George Anthony Devolder Santos
as a 25-year-old American teacher who was single. The citation states
that Santos, at the time of the charges, was in "an uncertain and
unknown location" and therefore could not be summoned. The document gave Santos 10 days to produce materials for his defense."
