A Brazilian former shop clerk allegedly defrauded out of more than $1,300 by George Santos has a message to voters who cast ballots for the Republican congressman-elect: “Don’t feel guilty, he does that really well. He’s a professional liar.”
In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Bruno Simões said that Santos in 2008 paid for merchandise using a pair of stolen checks and forging the signature of the account owner. Simões became suspicious of Santos’ demeanor – saying he was overly charming while shopping – and subsequently attempted to verify the checks.
But with the Republican’s election in November and a recent onslaught of publicity surrounded lies about his personal life, Brazilian law enforcement officials now plan to reinstate fraud charges against Santos. On Wednesday in Washington, the embattled New York Republican was trailed by reporters through the hallways and tunnels of the US Capitol as the scrutiny and condemnation over his fabrications intensify.
