Friday, March 8, 2024 9:46PMJust three months after being expelled from Congress, former Rep. George Santos says he's running for office again -- and the congressman he's challenging is already firing back.Santos says he'll challenge fellow Republican Nick LaLota for New York's 1st Congressional district, which represents parts of Suffolk County.
"My first reaction was a bit of an eye roll and a bit of a laughter because like I said, everything that comes from George Santos is a quite literally unbelievable," LaLota said Friday."It's clear now that Santos' primary campaign against me is retaliation for folks like me holding him accountable," LaLota said.
The latest play for public office by Santos, who has admitted to lying about his job experience and college education during his previous campaign, was met with groans from the Republican Party leader in eastern Long Island.
