The Republican Jewish Coalition will not welcome GOP Congressman-elect George Santos at any future events after he admitted to lying about his Jewish heritage, education and work experience.
In his campaign biography, Santos claimed that his grandparents were born in Ukraine and escaped the Holocaust by fleeing to Belgium and then eventually Brazil, raising the question if he was actually Jewish amid his string of uncovered lies.
On Tuesday, the Republican Jewish Coalition released a statement condemning Santos for his misrepresentations.
"We are very disappointed in Congressman-elect Santos. He deceived us and misrepresented his heritage. In public comments and to us personally he previously claimed to be Jewish. He has begun his tenure in Congress on a very wrong note. He will not be welcome at any future RJC event," CEO Matt Brooks said.
Amid skepticism over his Jewish background, The Forward, a Jewish publication, did some digging into genealogy website myheritage.com and reported that his grandparents had been born in Brazil, not Ukraine as Santos had said.
In response to the allegations, Santos told the New York Post that he is Catholic, though his grandmother told him stories about being Jewish and converting to Catholicism.

He's got pretty good company around him then. That's most of congress.
Warren? Blumenthal? Fetterman? Omar? AOC? Biden?????
We selectively dislike liars.
How is he different from the democRAT goddess Fauxohantis?
At least we know he’s a liar..unlike congress critters who pretend that they will upload the constitution and not vote for wasteful Govt spending yet end up spending TRILLIONS of our tax dollars on garbage
I guess I should have mentioned that I was referring to Republicans. Obviously Warren is disliked around these parts.
What about Dick DaNang Blumenthal?? Is he still welcome?
Great plot for a Netflix series.
Faking the pet rescue foundation was a red line for me. Do as you will to people, that’s on them. But falsely being a defender of animals is inexcusable. For that I hop he rots in hell.
He’s flaming out early then, before collecting ‘Tons’ of campain contributions he could safely and permanently keep for personal use.
Both young men are talented at selling an idea.
Both are able to engage with people and inspire trust.
What a shame their talents are wasted, as they base the ideas on nothing but vapors and big dreams. They should go into Real Estate.
The GOOBers are fighting each other again. The RATS are lovin’ it.
How’s the Republican White Coalition doing?...
I knew what you meant. No problems with that. Just adding my 2c.
We selectively dislike liars.
He was only following the dems model, but the dem media has selective outrage.
He just forgot the dash.
The republican Jewish coalition? What’s that ? About ten people.
Hes a schmuck so he fits in perfectly with congress
What happened to ops research by his opponents? Who really cares about his resume? His policies are what counts. Hope he stays in Congress. It is a den of thieve.
Look at all the lies from Schiff, Pelosi, Swallwell, etc. Those are lies that had a real impact.
Joe Biden was raised as a Puerto Rican. Who knew?
Born and raised Catholic, been called "Jew-ish", many times in my life.
