Vulnerable New York Republicans Silent on Santos’ Record

After additional reporting revealed extremist Congressman-Elect George Santos’ resume was full of even more lies and deceit, fellow incoming New York House Republicans Nick LaLota, Anthony D’Esposito, Marc Molinaro, Brandon Williams, and Mike Lawler, as well as Congressman Andrew Garbarino, have cowered and refused to condemn Santos’ long record of deception.

Given House Republicans’ penchant for embracing racismviolenceanti-Semitism, and far-right extremism, it’s not shocking to see these vulnerable Republicans refusing to condemn their colleague largely fabricating his resume in an attempt to fit in with their extremist caucus.

According to one senior House GOP aide, Republicans knew about Santos’ shady business background months ago, and were apparently “not touching him with a 10-foot pole.

These New York Republicans MUST answer: How much did they know about Santos’ lies, and will they ever muster the courage to speak up? 

DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre
“As Santos’ fellow New York Republicans keep refusing to condemn his egregious lies, voters can see just how easily these cowardly Republicans will stand by an extremist who consistently deceives New Yorkers.”
