Democrat candidates lied, Democrat party is tongue-tied
By Ethel C. Fenig
Faced with mounting evidence that Republican representative-elect George Santos from Long Island, N.Y. had lied his ethnic/religious heritage (he claimed he had Jewish ancestry), his educational background (he claimed he graduated from New York's Baruch College), his work history (he claimed he worked for international investment bank Goldman Sachs), his...well just about everything, many of his previous supporters withdrew their earlier enthusiastic endorsements.
Among the most prominent was the Republican Jewish Coalition, which issued the following statement Thursday:
We are very disappointed in Congressman-elect Santos. He deceived us and misrepresented his heritage. In public comments and to us personally he previously claimed to be Jewish. He has begun his tenure in Congress on a very wrong note. He will not be welcome at any future RJC event.
Impressed with their colleagues' courage, Democrats issued similar condemnations against their own, who similarly blatantly misrepresented their backgrounds and accomplishments. Not! Oh, sure — the Democrats happily joined the Santos criticism choir, spouting such useful suggestions as these:
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said Santos should be "banned from taking the oath for Congress."
Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., said McCarthy should call for a vote to expel Santos in the next Congress, assuming that the Republican leader is elected speaker of the House in the new GOP majority.
"George Santos should resign as Congressman-elect. If he refuses, Congress should expel him. He should also be investigated by authorities," tweeted Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas. "Just about every aspect of his life appears to be a lie. We’ve seen people fudge their resume but this is total fabrication."
"George Santos represents more than an individual case for American democracy," Castro continued. "If he’s allowed to serve there will be more who seek office up and down the ballot who will believe that they can completely fabricate credentials, personal features and accomplishments to win office."
"Total fraud about academic and professional credentials, religion, sexual orientation, etc. It doesn’t appear he lied about being Latino, unfortunately," he added.
