This morning, Rep. George
Santos is defiantly refusing to resign from Congress amid calls from some of
Nassau’s top Republicans after lying about everything from
his education to family history.
Santos’ resume
claimed he graduated from Baruch College, but it is now clear he never
graduated from any college or university.
At a news conference
Wednesday, Chair of the GOP Committee Joe Cairo says Santos is not welcome at
Republican Headquarters in Westbury.
Earlier
this week Santos said he's done nothing unethical — even
though he already admitted to lying about his credentials.
Meanwhile,
residents of the 3rd Congressional District are not holding out hope that Rep.
Santos will get anything done for them.
A
spokesperson for Rep. Anthony D'Esposito says they have gotten requests for
help from people in Santos' district.
Santos’
district office is still closed and there is no set date for it to open.
The
only way Santos could be removed from office would be a two-thirds vote from
the House of Representatives.
