Admitted campaign résumé fabricator George Santos (R-Queens, Nassau County) officially took his seat as a member of Congress on Tuesday despite a trove of information that’s come to light in recent weeks showing he falsified much of his background during his successful campaign for office last year.
After mostly dodging the press for the past couple of weeks, and only giving a handful of interviews to right-leaning outlets like Fox News and the New York Post, Santos ignored multiple reporters’ questions about his falsehoods or whether he’d resign while walking through the U.S. Capitol before the speakership vote Tuesday.
