“I never claimed to be Jewish,” Santos told the Post. “I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was ‘Jew-ish.'”
When you are running for office you need to carefully measure the demographics of your district. Apparently this Queens/Long Island rep-elect is in a republican district of homosexual Jews. Because this is the identity he has carved out for himself, that has now been exposed to be a lie. What will happen to George? He is currently being investigated by the house ethics committee and the Nassau County DA.
The Queens resident said he had obtained a degree from Baruch College, but the school said that couldn’t be confirmed. He claimed to have attended NYU as well, but the college had a similar response. Santos also said he had worked for Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, but neither company could find any records verifying that.
On Monday, Santos acknowledged: “I didn’t graduate from any institution of higher learning. I’m embarrassed and sorry for having embellished my resume.”
He added: “I own up to that. … We do stupid things in life.”
Santos told the Post he had “never worked directly” for Citigroup or Goldman Sachs, saying he had used a “poor choice of words.” He told the Post that Link Bridge, an investment company where he was a vice president, did business with both.
