Santos Declared Himself ‘Proud American Jew’

Rep.-elect George Santos (R-NY), “who reportedly lied about his Jewish heritage and has admitted he fabricated key details of his resume, said in an interview Monday evening that he never claimed to be Jewish,” the Forward reports.

Said Santos “I said I was ‘Jew-ish.'”

“However, in a position paper shared with Jewish and pro-Israel leaders during the campaign and obtained by the Forward, Santos called himself ‘a proud American Jew.'”
