The GOP Rep. was swiftly dragged on X, formerly Twitter, after posting a sign from the 2023 New York City Marathon that mocked his penchant for lying.

New York Republican Representative George Santos was swiftly dragged on X, formerly Twitter, after posting a sign from the 2023 New York City Marathon that mocked his penchant for lying.

An unknown individual created a sign that humorously referenced Santos' long record of dishonesty:


"Pace yourself. George Santos finished 21 hours ago."

But Santos—best known for fabricating practically his entire life story—nonetheless shared the photo along with a laugh-crying emoji, leaving it unclear whether he fully grasped the joke's context.

He wrote:

"So this happened in the NYC marathon!"

You can see his post below.

People on the social media platform mocked him for sharing a joke at his own expense.



Last month, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn unveiled an updated indictment against Santos, tacking on an additional 10 federal charges, which increased the total number of charges against the Long Island Republican to 23.

The expanded charges detail that Santos allegedly engaged in identity theft, unauthorized use of donors' credit cards, and the submission of falsified campaign reports. These reports included non-existent loans and contributions that were either fabricated or unlawfully obtained.

At his most recent court hearing held on October 27, a judge set Santos' trial date for September 9, 2024, months after the GOP primary in which Santos has declared he will participate.

Last week, Santos managed to survive a House expuslion vote, retaining his position as most Republicans and 31 Democrats chose not to remove him while his criminal trial and a House Ethics Committee investigation proceed.

Efforts to expel Santos from the House were initiated by fellow New York Republicans eager to distance themselves from a colleague accused of fabricating his life story, stealing from donors, lying to Congress, and wrongly receiving unemployment benefits.

However, the resolution to expel him did not receive the necessary two-thirds vote. In fact, it couldn't even garner a simple majority, with 179 votes for expulsion and 213 against.

Dr. Oz Slammed For Tone Deaf Health Advice For Americans On Medicaid And Medicare

Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he offered Americans unsolicited health advice during a Fox News appearance, saying that Americans shouldn't "eat carrot cake" as millions face cuts to their government-funded health insurance.

The passage of President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" will cause 17 million people to lose valuable Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Under the bill, individuals earning just above the federal poverty line would be required to start paying out of pocket for certain Medicaid services, such as doctor visits and lab tests.

Adam Schiff Calls Out The Real Reason Trump Is Accusing Him Of 'Fraud'—And Yeah, That Tracks

California Democratic Senator Adam Schiff fired back at President Donald Trump after Trump accused Schiff of "possible mortgage fraud" in a Truth Social post—prompting Schiff to point out that Trump's attack is another attempt to take attention away from Trump's association with the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump, without citing evidence, said Fannie Mae’s financial crimes division found that Schiff had a “sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud" that involved misstating which home Schiff used as a primary residence, allowing him to secure a cheaper mortgage.
