WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman George Santos (R-NY) has been charged with impersonating Congressman George Santos, a federal official. Santos, who has issued a litany of false statements, including that his mother died from 9/11, that he was a collegiate volleyball star, and that his grandparents fled the Holocaust, denied that he was impersonating Santos.
“I didn’t say I was Santos. I said I was sans-toes. You’ll have to pardon my lapses into speaking French. After studying for and earning my PhD in Musicology at the Sorbonne – at the top of my class, I might add – I do that sometimes,” Dr. Santos offered. “About my toes, I lost them from an IED in Afghanistan when I sacrificed myself to save the lives of my CO and my whole platoon.”
Congressman George Santos had little to say about Congressman George Santos other than to offer a strong statement saying that, like him, Congressman George Santos is probably an honest, upstanding fellow who is just misunderstood. Santos referred journalists to political hopeful Anthony Devolder and drag queen Kitara Ravache, both of whom Santos said knew Santos well.
