George Santos is the United States representative-elect for New York’s 3rd congressional district. People are upset because they found out after he was elected he lied about his whole resume. He had said he was jewish. He lied that his first generation were Brazilian immigrants. There was a New York Times investigation that revealed that he lied about his education, his substantial career on Wall Street and that he had impressive real-estate assets.
During Santo’s campaign he was bragging about how he earned a degree from Baruch College and studied at New York University. Back in December the Times reported that none of those places had records that George was enrolled in either of them. He said he had a robust career which supposedly started when he earned the degree. He said he also had a finance career working at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. He soon confessed none of it was true. Santos just keeps on lying. He had also said he founded Friends of Pets United. They have saved thousands of cats and dogs. His family were landlords and had 13 rental properties. The Times found no record of the Santo’s family owning property.
He had also gone to Brazil with his mother because she was a nurse. He had stolen a check book from one of the people his mother took care of and tried to spend 700 dollars worth of clothes at a store. By the time they were aware of what he did, Brazilian authorities couldn’t locate him since he had returned to the U.S.

This is actually a big story right now so I'm glad you did it. I don't think it was a story that interested students as its politics and from New York. I also think you could have worked on a better title. Also be sure to include your personal thoughts within your summary. You also should have rteplied to the one comment you got but I wont subtract 30 poinmts for that. +5 for original topic
I believe that there should be some sort of reprecusion of theses lies but he probably made up these lies to try to get in a good light of the public to get elected but he not only lied about being jewish he lied about his family surviving the holocaust
