my guess is probably not. and about being the descendant of holocaust survivors are among the many, many documented and absurd lies that we know of, so far, from new york republican congressman elect george santos. here s how he tried to defend himself earlier this week. my heritage jewish. i ve always identified as jewish. i was raised a practicing catholic. i think i have gone through this. and even i have not being raised a practicing jew, i ve always joked with friends in circles, even with within campaign circles, i ve joked, i m jew-ish guys, i m jew-ish. yes, he actually said that. and if that isn t enough, it appears that santos has lied about, well, basically everything. his education, his finances, his employment history and even the date of his own mother s death. he has now admitted to lying on his resume and apologized for
the bio that he presented at various points during his campaign just not really seeming to add up. and including his educational background, his employment history, even a charity that he said he founded. let s tick through just some of this. santos has said that he received degreeses from baruch andp nyu, cnn has reached out and neither school could find records of that. his campaign bio also mentioned working at both citigroup and goldman sachs. neither firm has record of that and he claimed that he founded a nonprofit animal rescue called friends of pet united but the operation is not found in the irs searchable data base and that is just some of it. joining me now is grace achford with the new york times who broke the story. thanks for coming on. what got you asking these questions about his background, that kind of led you down this path? hi, kate. thank you so much for having me. this all started shortly after the election.
