A former roommate of George Santos became the latest headache for the newly sworn-in congressman on Tuesday when he appeared on CNN for an interview with Anderson Cooper and levied a new set of accusations of dishonesty against the freshman House member.
Gregory Morey-Parker’s interview was not the source of the worst allegations Mr Santos faces, including that he faked his grandparents’ Jewish ancestry and falsely claimed that they escaped the Holocaust. But nevertheless it was a surreal moment as Cooper asked him about one particular appearance by Mr Santos at a “Stop the Steal”-themed rally ahead of January 6.
