Former Rep. Lee Zeldin said in a Wednesday interview that support for lying Rep. George Santos is “cratering” in the embattled lawmaker’s home district, but he wouldn’t go so far as to call for his resignation.
Zeldin , who was defeated in November by incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul in New York’s gubernatorial race,that he frequently ran into Santos on the campaign trail in 2022 and that he found him to be “personable” and “charming.” He called the revelations that Santos made up most of his resume and background while running for office “sad.”
“There were a lot of people who were genuinely supporting him, voting for him, volunteering for him,” Zeldin said. “And they were just at this point crushed once the news came out, of what was true and what wasn’t true, and unfortunately a lot more has come out that was false than accurate.” Zeldin added that he’s heard more outrage over Santos’ lies coming from people who voted for him in New York’s 3rd Congressional District than from those who voted against him.
