Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) ripped into Rep.-elect George Santos (R-N.Y.) over his embellishments and fabrications about his background, asking him point-blank, “Do you have no shame?”
“If I were one of those in New York’s 3rd District right now, now that the election is over, and I’m finding out all of these lies that you’ve told, not just one little lie or one little embellishment — these are blatant lies — my question is, do you have no shame?” Gabbard asked while filling in for Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview with Santos on Tuesday evening. “Do you have no shame? And the people who are now, you’re asking to trust you to go and be their voice for them, their families and their kids in Washington?”
“Tulsi, I can say the same thing about the Democrats,” Santos responded. “Look at Joe Biden. Joe Biden has been lying to the American people for 40 years. He’s the president of the United States. Democrats resoundingly support him. Do they have no shame?”
Gabbard interjected, saying that her question was not about the Democrats.
Santos has emerged from days of silence following reports from The New York Times and other outlets this month that revealed misrepresentations, fabrications and lies about his personal background.

I like Santos’s response. This guy might be a winner.
He’s a natural born modern politician. A practiced, skilled, unapologetic liar. He’s perfect for Congress these days.
L
Certainly not in my book!
Agreed
And if he was a democrat, this would hardly make the news.
Trunp likes to troll the ‘Rats.
This dude is a living, breathing troll.
This shows that she's still basically a lying POS.
this liar needs to go in the worst way.
What did the liberals have to say about STOLEN VALOR WAR HERO Senator Richard Blumenthal and his outrageous lies about serving in Vietnam???

There are no winners in government these days.
Not until the ‘Rats purge themselves of liars. They can start with Pedo Joe, the Liar in Chief.
Yes, Santos should now join the Senate with Dick Blumenthal.
If you purged the government of liars there would be nobody left.
After a New York Times investigation last week called out inconsistencies in his résumé, Santos (R-N.Y.) on Monday told the New York Post that he had indeed fabricated elements of his background in the lead-up to November’s midterm elections. Santos admitted he hadn’t “directly” worked for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup and had not graduated from Baruch College, nor “from any institution of higher learning.”
Santos also conceded he’d embellished his family’s Jewish history, having previously claimed his mother was Jewish and his maternal grandparents escaped the Holocaust during World War II. The congressman-elect conversely told the New York Post that he is “clearly Catholic” and that his grandmother had told stories about being Jewish and later converting to Catholicism.
The 34-year-old Long Island Republican has in public comments referred to himself as “half Jewish” and a “Latino Jew.” Santos during his campaign wrote in a position paper obtained by Forward — a nonprofit Jewish news website — that he was “a proud American Jew.”
He told the Post on Monday he had “never claimed to be Jewish” but had rather asserted he was “Jew-ish.”
If this Canadian Shop Teacher tried going to work like that in Oakland, Ca. or New York, or Chicago, I doubt if he would get through one full week with one of the parents coming after him with intent to injure. That school has put up with his perverted nonsense since around Labor Day.
OK.
I fail to see the problem ...
That was my impression. He kept trying to change the subject but Tulsi kept pounding away at him for his prevarications.
And why did he feel the need to tell lies about his religious faith, his employment history or his education that could be so easily disproven?
Well suddenly the democrats are concerned about lying to get elected. If they were really that concerned, they would not have had a presidential candidate since Mondale.
