- Newly surfaced video shows embattled Republican Congressman George Santos making more questionable claims during an interview with Rádio Novelo research director Flora Thomson-DeVeaux. #CNN #News
There’s no way Santos is going to donate his salary to charity. This is the guy who stole $3000 from a disabled veteran’s dying dog.
He stole much more as a salesman for Harbor the Ponzi scheme.
THIS!!
Well,he found out the dog was a bitch and he couldn't stand the competition.
Little known fact that pledges not made in English are optional.
He is going to give it for Drag Queen story time performed by one Kitara.
The ultimate boy who cried wolf. There's literally nothing he can say that people will believe. Ever.
Apparently you’re not aware of the fact that there are lots of people perfectly willing to believe his lies.
true, but he is making 174,000 dollars how much do you make???? voting idiots
So having a whole bunch of money is the only value worth having? My statement still holds true that nothing he says will ever be believable. Sometimes things like that come back to bite you in the you know back side.
This guy knew the only way to make it in politics was to campaign as a Republican.
That's exactly what Trump said about his own run !

His real life is such a failure that he makes up an entire fake life.
@@ytsux9259 he reminds me of one of my exes. She embellished so much and when called out on it would act like the victim. I didn't stay with her for long. She was nuts.
Legend has it, George Santos came up with the theory of relativity and wanted to be nice to Einstein so he gave him E=mc2.
Lol!
This is a problem in United States. Liars are elected to office without any form of punishment.
* This is a problem in the *GQP.*
So easy to fact chk before voting!
@@spicyirwin5835 people are lazy, and they leave their homework to others, and most people don't pay attention to politics until it's time to vote, which leave them at a disadvantage and misinformed.
Do you know of a country where liars are not elected to office?
If Biden lies it’s okay if santos misspoke a few times msm loses their mind
Santos 100% embodies the whole "if he comes in from outside soaking wet and tells you it's raining, you better double check".
I honestly don’t know how someone could be this exposed and still be able to sleep at night.
He’s a psychopath and they have no remorse. So he has no gilt on his lies. He actually believe what he says.
He’s a vampire.
@@angelacleveland75Lol. Everybody knows that vampires sleep during the day.
No conscience
its called trumpyitis!
You know why he's still lying... No consequences, no accountability
Better politicians start with better voters.
This is what happens when you vote for either the letter R or the letter D rather than the best person for the job.
Georgie did sign the Constitution lately!
@notfiveo The vaccination barely survived Georgie!
Was Georgie abused by his whole family?
Just when you think Amercica can't be more of a joke, there's this guy.
He’s not representative of America. He was voted in by voters who had extremely questionable judgment. What are you even talking about? You sound ignorant.
A liar is going to lie it’s Maga Morons with chicken little leader dump a shit the tag line for address the gop
Should have run as a Democrat. That way the media would leave him alone.
@@johnbrowne3950 Like Hunter, he didn't even get into politics!
or the idiots who can't spell
Our tax money paying his salary...this is an outrage!
Thanks Republicans
We been paying adam schiffs for decades lol
I like the part of him being a drag queen lol...I'm surprised he never mentioned he was a Navy SEAL and 1st to shoot Bin Laden! Lol.
Merrick Garland is the outrage. Over 2 years and no criminal charges against the people that organized, aided and abetted an attempted coup, Federal Election Fraud from fake electors, no charges, campaign finance violations, no charges...
And soon our tax money paying for his prison cell.
Every media encounter with Santos should start "Can you give us an example of something you haven't lied about?"
I can see why he's never going to voluntarily give up this position. His reputation is so mangled that he wouldn't even be able to get a job at Walmart. He is effin screwed. Not that it's anyone else's fault but his own.
I am really disappointed this man has not been terminated from his position. If we, citizens, lie in our applications, we would be fired.
Yes, but he is an elected official. His district can do nothing but not vote for him in 2024. They can't even do a recall election because the Constitution doesn't allow for it.
I really wish more understood the most important document the US has better because most have no clue what's in it, outside of one part of 1A and one part of 2A, and 5A.

Our (honest) lawmakers need to pass legislation that states that EVERY PERSON working in Congress/Senate/legislative branch, the Judicial branch and the executive branch MUST BE 100% TRANSPARENT about everything so that we the people can choose and TRUST the candidates that we approve of and hire to work for us.
He takes “fake it till you make it”, to another level.
He fits right in with gaetz and frz
What has he done to deserve a $174K paycheck? That’s outrageous!
He got elected. Votes matter.
What has any of them?
Lied.
He convinced 142'472 _stupid people_ to vote for him (21'735 more votes than the _Democrap_ candidate earned).
_“I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it. Suppose any party, in addition to whatever share it may possess of the ability of_ [a] _community, has nearly the whole of its stupidity, that party must, by the law of its constitution, be the stupidest party.”_ -John Stuart Mill, *Considerations on Representative Government* (1861)
Tax there checks 30% then
Has anyone checked if he actually uses prescription glasses?
Has anyone questioned his citizenship? A person must be a naturalized citizen for a minimum of 7 years before they can be sworn in to Congress!
We can safely assume he is lying when he talks.
I've seen a few people bring that up. On its own it's trivial but it fits the pattern. Rick Perry did it too. I guess, being Republicans and culturally a few decades behind the rest of us, they believe in that burned out cliché that glasses mean intelligence or they make you at least look that way.
The Clark Kent glasses are filters to prevent Santos’ X-ray vision from setting the carpet on fire.
Santos is having trouble because there aren’t phone booths remaining where he can change into his Superman cape and tights.
He reminds me of Larry from my 2nd grade class's pops. Larry's dad was a police officer, war hero, lottery winner, and owner of every building in town, his dad could've also easily beaten up my dad. I wonder if they know each other. Truly two of the most interesting men in the world.
What $174,000 paycheck? He won't be in Congress long enough to collect it.
Kind of reminds me of when Eric Trump said his father doesn't need American money, he gets all he needs from Russia! And so does George Santos
You’re a fool
Or the MAGA cabal.
Your a lieing price of shit
Big zero
Make him publicly hand over his cheques to The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He doesn't deserve a cent of his salary.
Yes, and maybe that'll incentivize him to go away, lol. He'll just have to go create a scam somewhere else.
He'll probably donate it to some phony charity that will somehow return the money to him (for a small fee), Santos gets most of his money back and a fake charitable donation for his taxes..
@@phantommensa This would work because the IRS doesn’t seem to care what supposed ‘charities’ do with the donations they collect. For example they haven’t asked him what he did with the $3K he stole from a sick dog.
Just think how much money he'll make when people like Nancy Pelosi and the politicians show him the ropes!
@@phantommensa worked for trump, didn't it.
How much more are the Republicans going to embarrass themselves, where's Kevin McCarthy, the speaker who's working for the American people?
There is something seriously wrong with this guy. And Kevin McCarthy even more so,
This guy couldn’t stop overtly lying if his life depended on it!!!
It kinda does. I suspect he will die in prison.
Plato: No man is more hated than he who speaks the truth!
Quite simply, he didn't want to be hated!
Congressman George Santos is now part of our team. So, What he told a few little white lies..??!! He is has not been arrested and he isn't a Criminal. As long as he is a Republican then we support him and help guide him. So Santos is getting a Mulligan from us Conservatives. We Republican's believe in Forgiveness and second chances.. Santos going to do great things for his district and our GOP majority... Let it go Libs, Give him a Break!!
@@michaelellringer5600 More disgust than hatred I think. But then there are many who think it's fine to lie, take for instance D.J. Trump
@@jasonmilton Umm no You Republicans believe lying and cheating is no big deal, winning is all that matters right?
I worked for the department of commerce for 15 years. To be hired there I had to first pass a timed test, go through FBI clearance, and I was sworn in with an oath to uphold for life. I was one of 50 people to take the test and only two people were hired out of all those, me, and one other person. Why don’t candidates have to go through this same process before they’re even allowed to run?!?!
@@PaNNgz I got hit by a car in 2017 and a cop had to take me and my bicycle home. He told me the biggest problem in LA with the police department was finding qualified candidates. There simply weren’t any, so they have to settle for whatever they get, and make exceptions. That’s more than a subpar way to run a department. The people are the ones that suffer. Btw, the guy that hit me had expired plates, no insurance and had no consequences. I had to have three surgeries, and paid for all of them out of my own pocket. My $1500 bicycle was totaled. I pay taxes, insurance, and all the things I am supposed to pay…but other people don’t, so I have to pay more. I am so sick of these bloated fat cats that live off the rest of us. They need to suffer consequences as well.
Simply put the Republicans would not be able too elect people .
@@Sandi-ke9mi To be fair you could have taken the guy who hit you to court
@@LeolaGlamour And get what from him? He had no insurance, didn’t even have money to pay the registration on his car. I seriously doubt I could’ve gotten anything out of him, except wasting my time and energy trying.
I don't think the results should bar them but I think they should be made public to the voters.
"I asked my former apartment pal to report the theft as I had stolen the bag, shoes and watch from him, and that's why my name didn't appear in the Police Records."
Sounds fair and credible to me. This guy lies like a puddle.
So the con man is going to keep his $16,000 a month.... Shocking.
The only thing Santos could say that I would believe is "I'm lying!"
😂😂😂 idk everything coming out of his mouth is questionable 🤨
And even that would not be true, at best it would be a paradox :)

@@gmamah9559
He can’t be removed from office even when he’s been proven to have lied about his entire life in the election?
The GQP that only holds onto power by 4 votes. Men have been selling their soul for power for as long as they realized that they could. Kev and Co. are no exception to that rule.
A corrupt government protects its own. Birds of a feather.
The reason he didn't report the mugging was because he was undercover with the FBI and couldn't risk blowing his cover. He's 127th level blackbelt in Santos-Fu, which Kung-Fu is based on, but didn't use it on the mugger because his hands are only registered as lethal weapons in Brazil.
He jumped into faluja with jerremy dewitte.

Good comment. Note: I only got to my Yellow Belt. I ran.....
His fingers also turn into knives. Like literally. And his body into a wolverine....in drag.

If nothing is done about him, as a NY voter, I'm tired of hearing more and more about him. Nothing will ever be done. Period.
Lying Santos is at it again.
He is not embattled, he is lying as usual as it is just another day for Lying Santos.
He has no intention of quitting. He's grifted BIGLY.

GET RID OF HIM!
My husband has a friend like santos. I asked him one day if he could go one minute without lying. He replied “yes, of course”. I said so, no then.
It’s interesting that Santos claims he is busy with “constituent services.” The last report I heard was that he still hasn’t opened his district office in New York.
I'd just like to thank you for making a lot of really enjoyable films.
The Nassau chair of the GOP said George’s constituent services were being rerouted to two other congressmen. So who knows what this pathological liar means by “constituent services?”
Our past House Representatives name is still on "Santo's" office. We have no contact with this fool.
@@brianpowell6058 Lol

It's extraordinary how politically talented this guy is.
How does this man even go out in daylight ?
He already donated his paycheck! He built 20 orphanages and has helped millions and millions of children with that money!
Lol!
Santos: I'm going to donate every penny to a charity just as soon as I can make up a name for it.
Oh shit, I said four groups. Meh....No problem.
What can we expect from a pathological liar?
We never learned anything from the last orange one, right?
Someone needs to tell him that a verbal commitment to donate salary is legally binding in NY! 😅
Haha he actually gets off on knowing or thinking he’s fooling people 😂
Because some people in the U.S are stupid
you can see it in his face lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂
To me, I saw it slightly differently. He seems to get off on the fact that now he's "important" because reporters around the world want to hear what he has to say. Of course, everyone is calling him out for the pathological liar that he is. But he couldn't care less about that. "LOOK, they're all talking to me! I'm a somebody!!!", is the vibe I got.
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 that's just plain sad. But I have heard people say " bad publicity is better than no publicity".😂
This guy is the gift that just keeps on giving! He's the answer to the prayers of countless comedians.
I think he'll make a great politician. He already fits in with the other professional liars in office.
No one to blame but us, the misinformed American voter.
I think he should just start walking around in his drag costume everywhere. Through the halls of Congress etcetera. High heels, the whole getup. 💃 That would just be totally hilarious and the icing on the cake 😭. I think many of us would actually pay good money to see that...and I'm sure he would gladly accept it 💰💰💰👍
Don't you mean the grift that keeps on grifting?
He isn't that funny in reality, but maybe a comedian could put the right spin on it.
@@basementcat5618 ... Late night talk shows are having a field day with him. Some skits are hilarious. The Jimmy Kimmel show last night (1-23-23) was funny as heck. Even the comedian actor looked like him!
The government is a clown show and I’m enjoying every second.
He stole personal checks from a person he knew, to buy clothes.....who really believes he's going to give up his own paycheck now. 🤣
Well, you can hardly blame him. He needed the money to replace the shoes that were stolen!
@@victorlloyd5271 😁
Sharpie also said he'd give his salary to charity. He gave his first two paychecks up in front of reporters and that was the end of it. That didn't stop him from bragging that he took zero dollar for his "job" forever.
Trump did not donate all of his salary. He reported the income on his tax returns with no off-setting charitable deductions.
He claimed on his taxes to have donated his salary for the first three years. 2020 he didn’t claim the donation.
@@mikekolokowsky... I read that too, in articles about his tax returns. I guess those numbers can be fact checked.
give it back to his employers all of us need are money back i do not forget my black t-shirt
This guy is the gift that keeps on giving 😂 He’s the *perfect* american.
Now there's a huge laugh! Donating his $175,000.00 annual salary to charity. That would be the "All for me, George "Santos" fund? " Right? Well, of course it is!
He hasn't even broken a sweat through all of this. He's so comfortable about all of this.
Like Norman Bates .
Probably been doing it all his life.
@@northlandrider5396 He seems like a dude who had no friends in school because he would, completely unprompted and unrelated to any conversation going on, lie about things for attention and clout. After a bit it just became his personality, because at least it got people talking to or about him and that made him feel like he was adjacent to connecting with other human beings.
He has no conscience
However reprehensible, those lies are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. What's really important is that prosecutors delve deep into his financial dealings, find irregularities, and criminally charge him. That's what will get him in jail.
But the Supreme Court elevated money to free speech, money is more important than freedom, democracy and life itself. I think Jesus felt the same way.
Agreed
All those lies should not be irrelevant, change the system, drain the sump.
According to Mother Jones, many of his campaign donations are evidently fraudulent[no surprise there], the FEC filings can't be authenticated. So there's a federal crime that can be investigated.
💪🏽
In his defense, if I saw him, I would definitely mug him.
He saw how the big orange guy got away with all the lies. I guess Santos thought it was worth taking the risk. I get the feeling that until there is justice for the two if them, many more will follow this example.
Santos probably read Plato's quote one day: No man is more hated than he who speaks the truth.
🤣🤣💀

You can’t be serious. Am I missing something?
Very insightful and a most interesting observation. Good show. Cheers from Canada.
What about his sham marriage to a woman so she could stay in the US? His friends say she was never around and he didn't treat her like a wife. He tried to talk his roommate into marrying someone saying he could make a lot of money doing it.
Sham marriage lol wife was actually married to her own brother lol
A true con artist. Scammed enough people that they voted for him. Too late now.
Hadnt caught that story yet.
@@RBS314 SAD
It's a federal offense to have a sham marriage for the sole purpose of becoming a citizen. If caught both parties go to jail. I'm sure his ex-wife is 💩 bricks.
He’s loving all this attention. No one ever heard of him and now he’s talked about on national news shows every day. The lies keep on coming. He will never resign.
Reporting false claims to the police would be a crime, this is why he reports NOTHING. What a slap in the face to all Americans! The GOP could get rid of him BUT no...lol
You got it
The Big Mac was named after George Santos.
Only because he invented the secret sauce
Well I mean he did found McDonald's in 1952
His future plans include more lies and lies on top of lies. Plus an extreme lack of consequences or punishment of any kind.
I wonder at what age did George start telling non-stop lies?
He lives in a world few can imagine.
LIAR! LIAR!! LIAR!!!
He may well have gotten mugged. They couldn't find his name because he has so many aliases. He doesn't remember what name he used
Who knew there where no actual laws for a truthful resume when running for public office?? Wow

There's cameras everywhere. If he was mugged on a certain day there would be video from one of the hundred cameras on the street.
Would it be something if it turns out he isn't even an American citizen.
Right at the end she hit the nail on the head. Mugging people for their shoes in broad daylight doesn’t happen here in the US but it is common in South America. Thus, his made up story was intended for the Brazilian audience because he knew Americans wouldn’t believe a story like that.
So...they stole a casio,sketchers and a Target shopping bag?
Ayo chill lol
@@boathousejoed1126 lmao.
I thought the same thing. Who would want his stinky shoes?! 🤣
@@NoTimeForLies Well, yeah. That was my point. Most of the rest of the world, aside from South Americans would be confused by the shoe theft. But for whatever reason it’s relatively common for people get mugged for their shoes in a lot of countries in South America. But generally it would be expensive shoes, not sketchers.
His lies sound like every excuse catfishers use when their crush wants to meet IRL:
“I can’t meet right now, I was mugged.”
“Sorry, can’t see you. I just survived an assassination attempt.”
But HOW is it possible to let such a clown into Congress ?
It’s not supposed to be. They’re all crooked,inept morons willing to kill for numbers! That’s literally it! It’s criminal and it’s mind blowing to us,but no citizen has the power to do anything,and all republicans care about is money and power! Democrats are either dishonest wimps who don’t care,or they too have no power against these evil dishonest beings,which scares the heck out of me!
If that dude tried to give me directions to the restroom I would disregard them and ask someone else.
That's how much value ANY of his words have.
I love how he adds details to his lies like they took his shoes! Most people would call the police if anything like that happened.
Well he could crawl over to Dolce & Gabbana and get new Italian loafers on the strength of being a direct descendant of Michelangelo.
Obviously unlike his brain his shoes had no holes…

Com'n people... This guys not going to stop, not even prison will help.
Santos also said he would auction off his Olympic gold medals to raise money for charity, but he didn't do it.
Robbed... Or as his former roommates would say, repossessed.
I'm so sick of him.🤬
Robbers do take your shoes in Brazil. I used to live in Brazil and a friend of mine was told to give this very young man (even boy) his sneakers. This was 1978 and American shoes were highly sought after by younger people then. This was at gunpoint BTW. It is also worth saying that there was (and still are) large sections of society in Brazil in utter poverty. In a country like Brazil, I can imagine Santos being robbed of his shoes. In New York? I've been to New York and there are places that I felt uncomfortable for sure. A friend was mugged in Washington DC. He was lured into a back alley and asked quite nicely for his wallet. He kept his shoes...
That's not George Santos. That's the wrestler "El Santos #3".
His publisher says they are considering a delay in releasing the George Santos memoir "I Lost My Kneecap on D-Day."

Yeah right.. he's donating to the

George Devolder charity
