George Santos doubles down on fabrications and calls himself 'Jew-ish'

while running for office. The fabrications include claims about his past employment, educational history and his family's heritage.Piers Morgan UncensoredRepresentative George Santos leaves the Capitol Hill Club as members of the press follow him on January 31, 2023, in Washington, D.C. Santos spoke to British broadcaster Piers Morgan on Monday about his controversial decision to lie about much of his resume while running for Congress in the fall.

The Republican was also asked about his claim to be Jewish, a note that the congressman had put on his campaign website, which says that his mother, Fatima Devolder, was the descendant of refugees who"fled Jewish persecution in Ukraine, settled in Belgium, and again fled persecuting during WWII.

On Monday, the congressman said that his claim about his grandparents was"one that I'll battle to my grave," adding that he was awaiting the results of four different DNA testing kits to prove his family's history. "I've always made this as a party favorite joke," Santos said in regard to his past statements."I always say I was raised Catholic, but I come from a Jewish family, so that makes me 'Jew-ish.'"

Morgan also questioned Santos about his education and employment history. The congressman had falsely claimed to have graduated from Baruch College as well as worked at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup. During the interview, Santos reiterated that he has never obtained a college education or worked directly for either of the finance companies.
