GOP Rep. George Santos, N.Y., claims allegations he used a fake animal charity to scam a disabled veteran by raising money for their dog's cancer treatment, only to keep the funds himself, are not true.

Santos said he has no knowledge of the purported scheme involving a charity he claimed to have founded.

"Fake. No clue who this is," Santos told Semafor.

George Santos is a crook he shouldn’t be in Congress were are told.

Santos is great. He’s standing up to the libtards.

He made a couple of exaggerations…so what.

He supports DJT and that’s good enough for me.

Remember when the Democrats and their Media demanded that New Jersey senator Bob Mendacious resign from the US Senate over his underage prostitute and corruption scandals?

Yeah - neither do I.

The GoFundMe page is long gone and doesn’t appear in the Internet Archive but Patch published some of the text exchanges between Osthoff and Santos. Last night Santos denied the allegations in a brief text:

George Santos claims he has no knowledge of a purported scheme in which he allegedly used a fake animal charity to scam a disabled veteran by raising money for their sick dog’s cancer treatment and then disappearing with the funds.

“Fake,” Santos texted Semafor. “No clue who this is.”

Again, the actual GoFundMe page is gone but Semafor dug up this April 2016 text which mentions that Anthony Devolder was the person running the GoFundMe for Sapphire:

I did my own search and turned up another tweet for a now defunct GoFundMe page Santos/Devolder set up for another animal just a few months later.

I gave to Help Cleo by Anthony Devolder. Now it's your turn. https://t.co/JdPIOXeb26

So it looks to me like this did happen and, shocker!, Santos is lying about having been involved. Will stealing money raised for a homeless veteran and his dying dog be the last straw for Santos? It’s hard to think of how someone could go much lower than that. I guess we’ll see. Here’s a video that recently turned up of Santos introducing himself as Anthony Devolder.

In 2019, George Santos introduced himself as Anthony Devolder, the founder of “United for Trump,” during a Q & A session at a “Walk Away LGBT” event in NYC.

I’m all for throwing out ALL gays, lesbians, trannies and all other satanists from congress. When that’s completed then we can throw out the liars and the cheats.

Not duplicate. Mine is in support of Santos and getting his denial out there in the headline and the other that is just anti-Santos. RIF. Reading is fundamental.
