George Santos Is A Blank Slate. So Is His Official Congressional Biography.

At least it’s brief?

Rep. George Santos, the New York Republican facing calls to resign after admitting he fabricated much of his background during his campaign, has only a three-line entry in Congress’ , which lists his jobs before Congress as “campaign staff; organizer; rideshare driver.”

Fellow Florida freshman Rep. Anna Luna, a Republican, has only a four-line entry, but it includes her National Guard service and prior jobs as an executive at a non-profit group and political commentator.

Santos, who is 34 (according to his directory entry), admitted to fabricating much of the background he touted in the campaign, but only after several media outlets looked into it post-election.

He claimed to have graduated from Baruch College but later admitted he had never graduated from any college. Similarly, his claims that he had worked at financial giants Citigroup and Goldman Sachs were not backed up by the companies. He even had to clear up questions about whether he was Jewish. “I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was ’Jew-ish,” he told the New York Post.

Santos reportedly is under investigation by federal prosecutors and the Nassau County district attorney’s office. The questions about his background and how he financed his House race have led to calls, most recently by some of his fellow party members in New York, to step down, something he has vowed not to do.
