Embattled Newly Elected Rep. George Santos Is Sought After By Reporters On Capitol Hill
"If 142 people ask for me to resign, I'll resign," Santos told reporters outside his office on Capitol Hill. On Wednesday, a defiant Santos refused to resign after Republican officials in his home district on Long Island“His campaign last year was a campaign of deceit, lies and fabrication,” Nassau County Republican Committee Chairman Joseph Cairo told reporters. “His lies were not mere fibs.
“He has betrayed the public's trust and given insincere, glib and insulting answers when asked legitimate questions about his finances and his background,” DeSena continued. “By all accounts, he seems incapable and unwilling to take full responsibility for his lies and fabrications. ."I remain committed to doing that and regret to hear that local officials refuse to work with my office to deliver results to keep our community safe and lower the cost of living. I will NOT resign!"
“This is not a partisan issue,” Jeffries said. “But this is an issue that Republicans need to handle. Clean up your House.”
