I'm Ben Mycellus from the Midas Touch Network, the MAGA Republican congressmen elect George Santos from New York's 3rd congressional district who was exposed last week for lying about literally every single aspect of his life has now admitted in a series of interviews that he was in fact lying. However, he calls it merely embellishing. He says, "I'm not a criminal and that this shouldn't be held against him." He says he's not going to resign that people don't care and shouldn't care that he lied. He claims that people embellish. That's the term he uses all the time and that he would continue to try to represent New York's 3rd congressional district. Now, this is deeply personal as well. One, as an American. Two, I grew up in that congressional district. I interned for Congressman Steve Israel, who was the congressman of the 2nd congressional district. The district somewhat merged and it became the 3rd congressional district. Having this despicable fraud trader as a congressman elect who literally lied about everything and now apparently thinks that's perfectly acceptable to lie about every aspect of your life and say it's merely an embellishment is utterly despicable. So, he lied about going to college at Baruch College. He admits that he lied. In this interview, he says the following. He says, "I never went to college. I'm embarrassed about that, but I never went to Baruch College." I didn't graduate from any institution of higher learning. I'm embarrassed and sorry for having embellished my resume. He goes, "I own up to that. We all do stupid things in life. We don't make up that we went to a college. Baruch College would make up that we went to college when we run for Congress. I'm sorry, that's just not something that's normal." He lied about his jobs. He claimed he worked for Goldman Sachs and he claimed he worked for a city group. He'd worked for neither. Now what he claims is that he used his words in artfully when he was a consultant. He did work with city group and Goldman Sachs. He didn't actually work with them. He should have been more articulate, complete and utter BS. I doubt he even did any work at all with city group or Goldman Sachs. That doesn't mean you say that you worked there on your resume, that you held jobs as an asset manager and city group when you held no such job and there was no such job that even existed at city group. He admits that he lied about being Jewish. This is particularly weird and very disgusting. He claims that his grandparents fled the Holocaust, which was utterly false. That didn't take place. How sick and disgusting do you have to be to lie there? Then he says, "I never claimed to be Jewish. I am Catholic. However, because I learned about a Jewish background, what I said was that I was Jewish, not that I was actually Jewish. The reason that he lied about being Jewish is that there's a large Jewish population in the Third Congressional District in Long Island. He was trying to endear himself to the Jewish constituency in the Third Congressional District by lying about his religion. He lies that his grandparents were Holocaust survivors. He lied that his mom was in the South Tower on 9/11 and that she survived the planes crashing into the towers on 9/11 and that she managed to escape. That's utterly false. He lied about that he has employees at all. He doesn't have employees. He lied that four employees were at the Pulse nightclub shooting that was alive. He lied about the charity that he was a part of, but he specifically picked these outlets to give these interviews with so that he could get softball questions and say, "Oh, I was just embellishing things." Don't we all just embellish what he is completely terrified of, though, is answering the important questions here. He kind of tips it off. He goes, "I'm not a criminal. I'm not doing anything that's criminal. Look, you are a liar about every single thing in your life." By the way, one of the other things he lied about, he lied that he had all of these real estate properties when, in fact, he was evicted twice as a tenant in 2017. In 2015, he owed his landlord about $2,200 in 2017. He owed his landlord and queens approximately $10,000. There's a $12,000 judgment from his landlord against him. Then he has the audacity to lie and pretend that he's a landlord and that he blames his tenants, which don't exist, for not paying rent at his properties, which do not exist. He took the position that there are these deadbeat tenants out there. This is a line that he would use when he would campaign who are not paying the rent that they should be paying to him and utter lie. But he used GoFundMe pages because he didn't have any money. All of a sudden, though, in 2021, he comes into money. He has this group called
