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.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
