- George Santos has been called the "greatest fiction in the history of Congressional politics," a "serial liar" unlike any in American history.
So just how did he transform himself from an obscure resident of Brazil obsessed with luxury and status into a famous Republican politician elected to represent a Long Island district?
And he did all of this on a foundation of staggering lies.
"George Santos: The Man, The Myths, The Lessons," an ABC7 New York Eyewitness News investigation, reveals his unlikely origin story, talks to people who knew him when, charts his stunning rise to congressman, breaks down what might happen next to him, and asks, ominously, if his saga may just be the tip of the iceberg for our democracy.

just makes me want to cry about the service dog situation. this George Santos is a total creeep
Made me cry as well too. I remember when he was posting about it asking for donations
Literally had me bawling even tho I already knew the story but just seeing the photos of that poor sweet dog and the pain on the veteran’s face as he spoke about her just freaking broke me. George Santos is such an irredeemably revolting, repulsive, disgusting POS and I sincerely hope the pathetic creep never enjoys even a day of peace for the rest of his miserable life.
WHY...people in Congress...are putting up with this man!!!.. WHY?.. Simple So Incomprehensible...😊
Because that's what Repugnicants do.
Ohhhhh bless his heart , if he had one 😂 but but he was the first woman on the moon 😂
The vatican.
Because republicans are scumbags.
If he was a Dem he'd be out - no question. But, he's a Republican, so that's not gonna happen.
Remember when George Santos was the first man to land on the moon? A true American hero!
Was that before or after he discovered Pluto?
No body ever walk on the moon ! It was all Hollywood .😂🇺🇸🇲🇽🇮🇹
He created the internet
He lived on the sun for 5 years
😂😂😂😂😂😂
They should do background and fact checks on folks running for office
For this case it's a little to late.
I think this person is talking about going forward a criminal should not be able to be a president and my God target does more severe background checks than the United States government. Have they done a background check his college would not have shown up because he never went, and what about the check fraud case that he settled in Brazil The man is a thief and nobody should be in office without a complete background check and drug testing just like they do for everybody else
They secret service, FBI) are supposed to vet all candidates running for federal office. I've discovered, since Trump was elected, that they clearly are not vetting the candidates
In a healthy functioning democracy, that's the job of an independent local press not beholden to corporate interests. Sadly it has been a casualty of 40 years of consolidation into a few large conglomerates.
His opponent did not do any leading up to the election, which is often what opponents should be doing. Oppo-research
The public has accused politics of being full of BS for years. We are so used to it that when someone like Santos stands up and confirms it, there is nothing done about it. Once again we have a grinning crook that we can't even seem to punch in the face.
And if there ever existed a punchable face, it’s his.
It says the public can easily be mislead 😢
Well he’s been expelled so he got his come up pence‼️
"there was nothing done about it". Wasn't he removed from office?
Bro, they kicked him out office and he is facing multiple charges. How can say nothing was done about it??
His district is one of the most wealthy, affluent districts. How could they not have had the power to vet him before voting him into this office?
I had a friend in middle school that I discovered was a medically diagnosed chronicle liar…it crushed me. .I’d never want him to be a Congressman
"You reap what you sow"; you get what you vote for. The voters did not educate themselves about this liar. It is irresponsible to totally blame this thief, the voter has the responsibilty to inform themself.
This guy is simply delusional. Santos: my company, you don't have anything
Mental health in politics is ok ?
This man is one of the last Jedi left in our galaxy. Show some respect.
He has the guts to say he's not quitting because he is protected by the Republican law makers!!! This tells so much who the Republican lawmakers are right? And you're still a Republican?
Thank you for this excellent piece. Very well researched and presented. Enjoyed it very much. The Germans have a word for this kind of situation. It’s called Schandenfreunde. Enjoyment at somebody’s else misery. But this situation really deserves this phrase. I really enjoy Georgie Boy’s misery at finally getting held accountable.
Das heißt Schadenfreude
Kinda amazing what he was able to do without being caught earlier
He's perfect for the GOP.
The Man, The Myth, The Moron.
The liar!
You are to polite
. . . but how did the Moron fool so many for so long? They don't care about background, b/c most of them have dirt hidden under their nails, so they don't encourage digging deep. That's DC - dark comedy.
you haven't seen it yet, The Behavior Panel's full review of Piers Morgan's interview with George Santos is awesome. The longer version has a lovely surprise at the end
I enjoyed this report BUT the background music was so loud at times I could barely hear the speaking parts. Otherwise great reporting! I hope Santos goes to jail over all these allegations!
An old-fashioned tarring and feathering seems to be order, and that's just for killing the Navy vet's dog.
Well done republicans! You sure know how to vet candidates .... nationwide. Disgraceful on all counts.
Alternate name for this video: “George Santos: the drag queen, the lies, and punishment. “
😂😂
This guy should be Trumps VP just unreal only in America
As a Greek-American I can proudly say that George is actually Greek!! His real name is George Santopoulos and he is a direct descendant of King Leonidas of Sparta who fought the Persians at the famous battle of Thermopylae. We're so proud of you Georgie!!🎉
That just about explains his Medusa head!
IKR? But don’t forget, Santos is also a direct descendant of Napoleon, Cleopatra and Mohamed! He’s got it all.
You mean his father wasn't a leprauchaun???
@@Kevin-zz9nc He sure was! ☘️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The news needs to stop referring to him as "embattled" I think "disgraced" is a much better and more accurate word. "Scumbag" also works.
What's been left unsaid is the gop can't afford to lose Santos' seat.
Why is the House Ethics Committee so imputent that they can not deal with George Santos ???
Full of Republicans. Good luck guys.
Speaker of the house
Kevin McCarthy
@@christopherwelch136 Incorrect, it's 50/50 Dems/Reps. It just takes time to do a proper investigation, which I'm sure you'd want if it happened to be an investigation on you, no?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣So some people still don’t want to kick out Santos????Man, I want to be a Congressman!! Make all that money and don’t do crap?????😂😂😂😂😂😂Only in America!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yep they are supposed to be there to represent the people but they get into office and get paid to play highschool games.
Of all the horrible things he has done, the dog situation is the worst. He is a monster, and deserves to be miserable and outcast.
He must be a sociopath
It's been almost a year and the House hasn't expelled him yet while he's making $14,000 month
George Santos is a Dollar Store version of Trump.
Another wont to be trump very sad. George is not fit for office.
Santos and The republican hypocrites makes me so sick I couldn't even watch this show
agree if Santos goes so does trump for much worse
Santos total lack of shame is probably his most remarkable quality. But it's not a quality employers ask for. The modern GOP maybe...
This is sooooooo gooodddd
The stealing money of the dog part really upsets me. SOAB!
They should have also served a search and seize warrant along with a mandatory doctor's referral to retrieve the items he fraudulently purchased to take back for refunds along with the Botox being sucked back out of his cheeks!
It should have been a red flag when he told the guy "Oh, I've been modeling"... Yeah, and I'm Michael Jackson.
I look similar to Santos. I'm going to wear a convict costume and be George for Halloween. 😂
What did NOT happen:
Vetting by his own party.
More surprisingly, vetting by the opposition which, by most measures, should be step one for good ol' American mud-slinging politicing.
Oh Amerika, how you entertain me. If this happened in Canada, he’d be sooo gone. Your beloved “Constitution.”
I LOVE THE HEADING!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Unbelievable 🤦🏻♂️ CONMAN GOT TO BE A CONGRESS member How ??? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
He should be made to return all the money he was paid as a congressman since day one.
How great the news exposed him after the fact that he already got elected. Great work ABC News...
The NY delegation did not do due diligence and look into Santos' background when they backed him because he was an ideal candidate on paper.
Dude cures cancer and this is the thanks he gets. Jeez.
Whole lier
"he's like an etch a sketch" 🤣🤣
i mean how do ppl not see it right in his face?
The reporters “confronting” Santos had some really stupid questions. What happened to real journalism
George Santos is the perfect poster-child for the Republican party.
Eu fico doente com este cara! Como pode uma coisa desta.
It's unbelievable when that old man interviewed him for the position he simply looked at his resume didn't do a background check didn't ask for references these are all standard things that any company does when hiring someone on board. You don't just trust what they give you on paper 🙄
George Anthony Kitara Ravache Devolder Santos also claimed to not be a criminal in ANY country, then turns around and pays a settlement of $4,850USD in an '08 Brazilian criminal fraud case.
I mean, if Marjory Taylor Green and Loren Bobert can be elected, why not George Santos....
How did 114 vote no ousting him!? Insane.
Stealing money from a homeless veterans service dog is so far beyond satire it’s insane😭😭😭
Only 8K views in 6 days! Is CZcams keeping this video buried?
How in the hell was he not background-checked by the NY REPUBLICAN PARTY!
*Shameful. A disgrace to his constituents and family.*
George Santos Morphin Dreams 😂
That redistricting backfired. Both parties dropped the ball with this one. The voters didn’t do their due diligence, either. And all media failed.
This was better than the cbs one 🤙
Not a witch hunt, a con artist hunt. Shameful.
Why is there no vetting process for such an important job. A dangerous con man
The scary thing is, if he hadn’t been so elaborate with his lies he could have gotten away with it.
American politics on both sides is a complete dumpster fire 😂 makes UK politics look tame in comparison. Politicians across the West are very very poor nowadays.
The cancer is on the Republican side
He also claimed to be Irish at St Patrick's Day Parade 🎉 and not Ir-ish 🍀
NEVER reward a Republican with your vote.
“Nobody this awful “ that we have YET to discover! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Santos is a Right Wing hero. He represents their party well! Totally embodies thier ethics and morals...🤣
A male policitian, let alone a Republican, who was not 100% transparent to the people around him and accused of having "cross-dressed" in his previous private times??? Ya don't say 😭😭😭😂😅😀💯💯💯
George Santos looks like that kid who claims he is a victim but is actually the town bully.
A Federal Employee could be removed from their job for the same just by investigation
You kill my dog. LOL
Cory Mills is worse. There are FEC complaints, Ethics complaints, DOJ AND Treasury Information Complaints, State Attorney Complaints, in three different states, etc on Cory Mills.
Investigate Cory Mills. He is ten times worse than Santos
A severe threat to our democracy.
Does the US have any idea what that shows the world?
Santos has multiple names and personalities. There is George Santos the Senator, there is Anthony Devulger the business man, there is Anthony Devulger the LGBTQ MAGA activist, there is Tiarra the drag queen, the Jew-ish descendent of holocaust survivors. He has an infinite list of names, titles and personalities.
Which one are you voting for?
Rosa “Batty” Santos - “I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to re-elect me”,
Rutger Hauer - “OI, you......”
He colonized the sun
Who the hell edited the sound on this doc? The music is so loud.
Both him and Mccarthy should resign!
Someone did not do there due diligence in Vetting Georgi boy for office
I’m still scratching my head about the whole baby in the congress office thing…
His vote is important far as we know this was done initially so the rino could stay in power how many seats they cant give up
He was a criminal and a thief and a liar he deserves the walk of shame
Santos can hire Trump's lawyers 😅
He is just a disgusting liar who does not care about lying in order to get everything he does not deserve. So so disgusting.
After being kicked out of Congress, George Santos may be invited by Trump to be Vice President with him in 2024.
Lock him up! Santos for prison in 2024.
That’s all he thinks, politics is a game and one he has been winning against the American people. Hopefully not any longer.
How is it that min. wage jobs vet ppl better than a wealthy NY district does for their seat in Congress
I would love to hear from someone in the 7% that still support him ...
I bet they will change the process of admissions now
A model ..... oh my.
It sounds like he took little pieces of stories from each of his friends & made it his own.
You will learn, he will teach you.
Ozempic & Sephora gets expensive...
This is so sad. Sapphire 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢I feel soooo bad for that Vet.....omg....looking at those eyes with that big tumor.....so f*cked up
😢
Lock her up
