He should be forced to resign his seat im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely.<\/p>\n<p>This liar and exaggerator is in a position to make decisions for the American people. Disgraceful.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bill McCreary<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Levittown<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I thought that I had seen it all after L\u2019Orange said he won the 2020 election. But I have to say, George Santos takes the cake.<\/p>\n<p>This guy is like a really bad episode of \u201c48 Hours.\u201d It seems like there is nothing he won\u2019t say or do. I think he could be really dangerous. Since he had the audacity to lie about his qualifications in order to get elected to the Congress, and now that he has been found out, he thinks it is all normal and OK because he says so.<\/p>\n<p>He might be living in an alternate universe.

Or that he lied about working for Wall Street firms, his Jewish heritage and his sexual orientation?<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t say that the southern border was closed as record number of illegal immigrants surge across it. He didn\u2019t tamper with or destroy thousands of emails.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s world, regrettably, Santos\u2019 behavior seems to have matched all the qualifications for advancement to higher office. His behavior is therefore a mere \u201ctempest in a teapot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Michael Headley<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Brooklyn<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I spoke to some friends, most of whom held supervisory roles in their organizations.<\/p>\n<p>The subject of the conversation was the out-and-out lying that George Santos did in regard to his educational, religious and vocational background.<\/p>\n<p>My question was: If you hired an individual who made claims on his or her r\u00e9sum\u00e9, and you found them to be false, would you keep them? The answer was an overwhelming \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why would his constituents want a liar to represent them in Congress? I know I would not, and I would feel \u201cslimed\u201d on by this impostor.<\/p>\n<p>Santos is a damn liar, and the seat he won should be subject to a special election, whether a Republican or a Democrat wins. Lying should not go unpunished.<\/p>\n<p><em>Alan Swartz<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Verona, NJ<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Santos lied about his education, his employment history, his sexual preference and his religion. He certainly embellished his r\u00e9sum\u00e9 to help himself get elected.<\/p>\n<p>Santos should change parties. He would be a rising star in the Democratic Party. Under the tutelage of a Democrat like Rep. Adam Schiff, Santos would really go places. If he plays his cards (or tells his lies) right, he could be president someday.<\/p>\n<p><em>Peter Orsi<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Brooklyn<\/em><\/p>\n<p>That Santos lied about every key element of his background to gain election to Congress, an office of high public trust, is beyond outrageous.<\/p>\n<p>He may not be a criminal for this act, but he\u2019s clearly an out-and-out fraud \u2014 and he should be declared one and forced to vacate his position.<\/p>\n<p><em>David I.
