George Santos, who flipped the House seat in New York's 3rd Congressional District last month, made history as the first openly gay Republican to win a House seat as a non-incumbent, but his résumé appears to be filled with falsehoods, according to a deep dive by The New York Times.
Santos campaigned on being the "full embodiment of the American dream," and painted himself as a "seasoned Wall Street financier and investor" with an animal rescue charity that saved over 2,500 cats and dogs, The Times reported.
