Local Lawmaker Rips George Santos For Lying About Why He 'Stopped By' Santos' Office

Josh Lafazan calls out Santos for misrepresenting his protest outside his Douglaston office calling for him to resign.

New York Republican Representative George Santos is facing criticism for lying about the reason a local Nassau County politician visited his office.

Although Santos claimed legislator Josh Lafazan had simply "stopped by" and even thanked him for discussing "the concerns that were addressed in the letter he brought in," Santos' post doesn't tell the full story: that Lafazan had called on him to resign.


You can see Santos' tweet below.

Shortly afterward, Lafazan shut down Santos' in a tweet of his own, writing:

"Let's be very clear: I did not 'stop by' your office. I hosted a prosted 'outside' your office calling on you to resign, and then hand-delivered you a letter to stop wasting police resources."
"Can't say I'm surprised you choose to distort the truth here — you're very good at it."

Santos has been mired in scandal since New York Times reporters unearthed multiple lies he'd told about his life story.

He now faces ethics investigations amid allegations he violated campaign finance law as well as a separate fraud inquiry in Brazil, where he used to reside.

Although Santos admitted to "embellishing" his résumé and questions remain about his education, work history and even his source of income, he has not heeded calls to step down from Congress, instead assuring GOP officials he will not run in 2024.

The news Santos' had lied about the reason Lafazan met with him didn't surprise anyone and he was abruptly criticized for it.




Santos' latest lie came shortly after he admitted he is a "terrible liar" and said he regretted lying about his life during an interview with Piers Morgan.

Santos appeared to want viewers to feel sorry for him when he said he did not enjoy the attention his lies have garnered around the world and would never have run for office if he'd known he'd generate so much controversy.

Morgan, however, did not let Santos off easily—particularly after questioning why Santos lied about his mother being in the World Trade Center during the terror attacks of September 11, 2001—and said he struggles to believe anything Santos says.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
