'He's disgraced the House of Representatives, and we do not consider him one of our congresspeople,' one local GOP official said.
On Wednesday, about a half-dozen members of the Nassau County Republican Partyweeks after revelations the 34-year-old Congressman embellished almost every facet of his biography, including his academic background, his professional resume, and even claims his grandparents were survivors of the Holocaust.
"He deceived the voters of the Third Congressional District, he deceived the members of the Nassau County Republican Committee, elected officials, his colleagues, candidates, his opponents, and even some of the media," Nassau County Republican chairman Joseph Cairo said in a Wednesday press conference urging Santos to step down.

He disgraced the House of Representatives, and in particular, his fabrications went too far. Many groups were hurt.
"He has no place in the Nassau County Republican Committee, nor should he serve in public service or as an elected official," he added."He's not welcome here at Republican headquarters for meetings or at any of our events. He's disgraced the House of Representatives, and we do not consider him one of our congresspeople."
Santos, meanwhile, is apparently refusing to resign, telling D.C. reporters Wednesday,"I will not" when asked.
