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.

(13,449 posts)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.
Its 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.
