Santos Off To A Good Start By Lying About Congressional Record


George Santos has been caught “embellishing” his Congressional resume, falsely claiming that he cast a vote against the Omnibus budget on December 23rd, 2022.

Santos was not a Congressman at the time except in his own imagination.

But according to The Daily Beast, on Santos’ official U.S. House website (paid for with your tax dollars,) the “perpetual liar” claims he “voted ‘nay’ on the House omnibus bill, which would be difficult given it was Dec. 23 and Santos had yet to take office.”

Congressman(-elect) Ritchie Torres (D-NY) tweeted a screenshot of the false claim from Santos’ website.

The New Republic, first to report Santos’ fake “vote,” calls it a “bold-faced lie.”



“It’s not impossible for there to be clerical errors while keeping track of members’ votes,” The New Republic concedes. “However, that is slightly less likely when the error is published on the particular website of a specific member of Congress. It is unclear why a newly elected member of Congress would choose to do this. Then again, you could say the same with regard to most of the brazen lies Santos has already told.”

NCRM located an archived copy of Santos’ website via the Internet Archive, and that omnibus bill is not the only one he appears to have claimed he voted on. Santos’ website claimed he made another five roll call votes on four bills, at least as early as December 22.

Santos negotiated a cease fire between the Israelis and Arab nations that ended the 1973 war.

He also served as chief scientist on the Manhattan Project.

And he was the first man to walk on the moon!

And he fired the first shot at Bunker Hill, leading the charge to take over the airport!!!
