Long Island Rep.-elect George Santos came clean to The New York Post on Monday, admitting that he lied on the campaign trail about his education and work experience — but insisting that the controversy won’t deter him from serving out his two-year term in Congress.
He also admitted that he never graduated from any college, despite previously claiming to have received a degree from Baruch in 2010. “I never claimed to be Jewish,” Santos said. “I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was `Jew-ish.’” “I’m very much gay,” he says now. “I’m OK with my sexuality. People change. I’m one of those people who change.”
Santos said his mother died of cancer on Dec. 23, 2016, after living with him at the Queens apartment and acknowledged the judgement against him.
