Local NY Republicans call on disgraced Congressman Santos to quit

Local Republican leaders in New York have called on disgraced United States Congressman George Santos to resign immediately, amid revelations that the newly elected lawmaker fabricated parts of his biography, as well as speculation about his campaign conduct and finances.

Joseph Cairo, the Republican Committee chairman for New York’s Nassau County, where Santos’s district is based, told reporters on Wednesday that Santos’s 2022 election campaign was one of “deceit, lies and fabrications”.

Santos had falsely claimed that he was Jewish and that he graduated from university and worked at top financial firms.
