After allegations surfaced that Republican George Santos' resume may be largely fiction, questions on the minds of many include: Where was he living at the time of the election? Where is he now? What is his real story?
"He's sending a message you can lie and still be elected to the United States Congress," one constituent told FOX 5 NY.
Santos is accused of misrepresenting his education and employment history. He has claimed that he runs a family investment firm. On Tuesday, the firm changed its official mailing address with the Florida Secretary of State to a condo in Merritt Island.— Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan, a Democrat
The leader of the Nassau Republican Party said Santos should have a reasonable amount of time to respond. But Democrat Robert Zimmerman, who lost to Santos in the election, said silence speaks volumes. Some former elected officials said the allegations come at a time when trust in politicians continues to go down.
"It's not a good look," former Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, a Democrat, said. "It's not a good look for him and I don't think it's good for Long Island.""He to do more than just deny," King said. "He has to specifically say why the allegations aren't true and give his explanation for it."Political analysts said they're surprised no one picked up on this sooner.
"Anytime someone is accused of defrauding whether it be investors or voters, it can expose them to legal problems," attorney Imran Ansari said.Attempts to reach Santos and his lawyer for more information on Tuesday were unsuccessful.
