New York Republican Rep.-elect George Santos confessed to the New York Post on Monday that he lied on his resume about his education and employment.
He wrote in his campaign biography that his grandparents were born in Ukraine and escaped the Holocaust by fleeing to Belgium before fleeing again to Brazil, leading some to question whether he was in fact Jewish as he claimed.And last week, the New York Times reported that claims made by Santos about being employed in the financial industry and working for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup could not be verified.
Instead, Santos said, he worked for Link Bridge, which did business with both Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. "I didn’t graduate from any institution of higher learning. I’m embarrassed and sorry for having embellished my resume," he told the Post."I own up to that…We do stupid things in life." As an openly gay man, Santos was accused of not being gay because he was married to a woman until 2020. Santos addressed those claims with the Post on Monday as well, saying he was married to a woman for five years but is now married to a gay man.
