According to "The Forward," genealogy websites show both Santos' grandparents were born in Brazil. Kemberly Richardson has details.Congressman-elect George Santos, whose election on Long Island last month helped Republicans narrowly take control of the House, is facing new allegations of fabricating his life story."My grandparents survived the Holocaust, so these regimes of socialism, Marxism, they don't work," Santos said.
But, according to "The Forward", an independent, Jewish news organization, genealogy websites show both Santos' grandparents were born in Brazil. The gaping hole in Santos' resume now appears to grow wider. He was first exposed Monday by the New York Times.He also said he worked at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, though the banks say they have no record of him."If you've seen "Inventing Anna" on Netflix, this is "Inventing George Santos. It's time he do the right thing and step aside," democratic former congressional candidate Josh Lafazan said.Santos has still not come forward to respond.
Some are calling for Santos to resign before he's even sworn in. Analysts say it's more likely he will face an ethics investigation once he takes office.
