Many Had Concerns Over George Santos’ Backstory

“Concerns over Rep. George Santos’ backstory became louder over the summer and into the fall campaign season, and issues surrounding the recently elected Republican congressman from New York had not been a secret,” CNN reports.

“When it became clearer that Santos had a chance at winning his New York district, people talked more about how his backstory didn’t add up.”

“There was trepidation among consultants, donors and other Republicans – including those in Washington – that what Santos was saying about himself wasn’t accurate and that his biography didn’t line up, the source said. There had also been an expectation that some kind of major story would drop in the press before the election…But that story never came.”
