New York Republicans Turn on Serial Liar George Santos: ‘He Is a Stain’

The newly elected congressman, who has been caught lying about most of his background, needs to step down immediately, the Nassau County GOP said.

New York Republican leaders have called for serial liar George Santos to resign from Congress immediately. The Nassau County GOP led the charge, holding a press conference Wednesday morning laying into Santos for “breaking the trust” of his constituents by lying about just about every aspect of his background—from his religion and work history to his grandparents escaping the Holocaust. “He cannot serve anymore. He does not deserve that right,” Nassau County GOP Chair Joe Cairo said, pledging not to work with Santos’ office. “He is a stain on the House of Representatives. He is a stain on the third congressional district.” The group was the first official GOP group to formally call on Santos to step down. New York GOP Chairman Nick Langworthy later co-signed the call Wednesday afternoon. “It’s clear that [Santos] cannot be an effective representative and it would be in the best interest of the taxpayers to have new leadership.” Santos was elected to serve New York’s third congressional district with 54 percent of the vote in November.
