Man's Best Friend? George Santos Ripped Off Sick $3K Dog's GoFundMe Amid More Lies
As the saying goes, all politicians lie. But Republican Congressman George Santos might be the biggest liar of them all.
Among many lies that have been revealed about Congressman Santos, chiefly among them have been that he is half black, has Holocaust survivors in his family, used to work at Goldman Sachs, ran an alleged fake nonprofit and his mother died in 9/11—and those are just the lies we can remember off the cuff.
But it gets worse. After Santos supposedly cleared up that his mother actually died of complications from surviving 9/11, it has now been revealed by several reports that his mother Fatima Devolder was nowhere near New York City when 9/11 happened.
When Devolder applied for a green card in 2003, she attested that she had not been in the U.S. since 1999. Now of course she could have been lying like her son, or maybe that isn't his mother? With Santos, seemingly anything could be a lie, and there is more.
Santos allegedly had a career in Brazil as a drag queen named Kitara. And, according to two veterans based in New Jersey, he ripped off a GoFundMe for a sick dog. Now we can respect the drag alleged drag hustle, but stealing from a dog?
As reported by CNN, the two vets say Santos promised to raise money to give one of their dogs a lifesaving surgery. But when the money started rolling in, Santos pulled a disappearing trick and allegedly took off with $3,000 in funds raised.
"I had to jump through hoops and do everything his way," Navy veteran Rich Osthoff told CNN, who knew Santos as Anthony Devolder at the time. "He was just totally, totally difficult."
Osthoff said he was homeless and living in a tent at the time after losing his job and house.
About working with Santos (Devolder), he added, "One obstacle after another."
Well it seems not much has changed, only now it's one lie after another. After being sworn is as a congressmen this month, calls for Santos to resign have grown deafening and several federal investigations are underway to file criminal charges against Santos.
