"The Troubling Pattern of Deception: Congressman George Santos's Fabrications Exposed"
Congressman George Santos of New York has gained notoriety for his extensive fabrications and lies, which helped him win election in 2022. However, Santos has since been charged with 23 federal crimes and faces potential expulsion from Congress. His lies range from embellishing his résumé to fabricating stories about his education, family history, and professional experience. Despite mounting evidence, the House has twice voted against expelling him, but a recent ethics committee report detailing his alleged misuse of campaign funds may finally lead to his removal. Santos has announced he will not run for re-election, but a third expulsion vote is expected next week.
