Top Republicans remain silent over George Santos campaign lies
Congressman who won narrowly in New York denounced as ‘complete and utter fraud’ for fabricating swaths of biography
Weeks after winning a district that helped Republicans secure a razor-thin House majority, the congressman-elect George Santos is under investigation in New York after acknowledging he lied about his heritage, education and professional pedigree as he campaigned for office.
But the top House Republican, Kevin McCarthy, and his leadership team have kept silent about Santos, who remains set to take the oath of office Tuesday even after publicly admitting to fabricating swaths of his biography.
