George Santos was born in July 22, 1988, he stated on Greg Kelly's show, that his company Devoulger was founded in 2001, and he stepped away from that to do his own business. Ahh he was 13 at that time, and no one corrects him.

Excellent report by CBS. Thanks. What I found the most disturbing in George Santos is that he has no remorse whatsoever; when confronted, he just doubles down. Santos is a mix of mythomane and psychopath. Santos has made a mockery of Congress.
A little late though isn't it ? No one gave the man a single moment of investigation when he was running for office. If any of the places that call themselves journalist or papers had taken the time to just run a background check on the man running for congress ? They would have found he is likely an intelligence asset that was sent to engage in Brazil who is now a member of congress using a crafted identity . This might be the first time we ever caught a deep cover op assuming the alternative ID to take public office. Unless they did investigate and someone told them the truth : Now they are trying to tip toe around the deep cover to remove him for petty reasons like lying when his entire back story is a fraud ?
Same with Barry O. & Joe Bribe-den. Barry starts political career with actual communist & joe lies about himself and famy not profiting from foreign countries as vp.
He just followed Trumps lead.He had therepubliscum house approval when he said he was gay.That made Jordan & mccarthy's mouth water.His date book is full for the next 2 years.tomorrow Mar a Lago!
The nature of a Confidence Man is that they are all Pathological Liars. Telling the truth is something they don't like to do. As a Corruption-ist, they will take the local political ideology. Meaning that if it is a Liberal Community, they will claim to be a Liberal, and if it is a Conservative Community they will claim to be a Conservative. But deep down inside, they have no real political views, as it is just camouflage to help them blend in...
As a Brit, it’s easy to criticise Santos but the system allowed him to get away with it. I’m more concerned with the state of apathy in America that turns a blind eye to demonstrable lies. Political parties care more about ‘winning’ than democracy.
But don't mention the brexit...us Brits have a very major existential problem now as well as folks very similar to Santos in even higher offfice. At least the GRU/KGB do not have a US Senator (to my knowledge) unlike the problem in the House of Lords, upper chamber of the GB parliament, thanks to operative "Boris".
Be that as it may, I believe that most people in the UK are somewhat biased towards him due to his relation to his much-loved grandfather, Winston Churchill.
Bill Maher had the best description of Santos: we are so polarized that he was able to reach each isolated group with completely different stories that they wanted to hear.
He is an example of our politics now. As long as you say the keywords (stolen election, business owner, self-made, etc) you will get elected. Doesn't matter who you are (case in point).
Yes, like his being gay. Have no sympathy for gay Republicans. Some, who hold all the same “values” as the right, want desperately to have a gay Republican in Congress. No fools, Republicans are not over LGBTQ issues (oh, that’s right gay trans people don’t count /s). I wouldn’t want a single one of them as a neighbor. As a gay person, I’d take a straight homophobe as a neighbor over them.
@@Killgore-ip2yq Are you saying santos didn’t lie to his constituents? 01:45 Oh look here is the Nassau County Republican Committee calling for his resignation.
@@promeitheus Yes he didn't just look at all his spectacular achievements and accomplishments, George Santos was a Professor in Trump University, he was awarded honors in inventing Trump Stakes he also served at the Gaspacho Police with Herschel Walker, he was also a highly decorated Kamikaze pilot in the Second World War, who flew nine successful missions. Then of course he went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize for breaking records for waterfall swimming championships, swam across the Pacific, tracked down the Loch Ness Monster, invented the Internet, and he is also the Pilot who flew that Jet that took down the Chinese Spy Balloon Thingy.
I applied for a part-time teaching position and had sooo much explaining to do for a misdemeanor when I was 18 (I’m 50 now) that it delayed my hiring 2 months. I should have run for Congress instead and made a nice $175k a year + best health insurance plan, free meals and trips. I’m so stupid for being honest in this day and age. 😹
You can still do it because we are seeing ppl with hardly any education or have a clue about government get elected. Just talk about how M&Ms are too woke and you can definitely become a Republican congressman or congresswoman
it makes me LAUGHHHHHH OH MY GOD LAUGHHHH HA HA HA HAHA. Mitch Romulus was like "ur not one of us" but brotha, he sure is. He's just the only one out of the closet as they say. Ain't no politician that don't fib for personal gain and leave before repercussions that ever existed.
Him being a doner kebab for Brazilian men though was icing on the rake for me lol. Bro's like YO I GOT PARKING TICKETS TIME TO ESCAPE TO CONGRESS WITH MY MILD MANNERED LISP NO ONE WILL EXPECT ME.
18:24 The documentary says there is no formal background check, but a few seconds later it says Democrats uncovered some of the lies and Republicans uncovered many more. This documentary should have followed up. WHY didn't the Republicans blow a whistle. Was it too late for them to change candidates? Why didn't the Democrats do more with their opposition research?
@@sweetmusic3821 my bet is he was winning in the polls and they'd rather keep him and have a member of their party win no matter who or what they are 🤔 as for the other party investigating him and his wrongdoings, perhaps not wanting to look like a smear campaign, not enough funds to prove accusations, or perhaps they thought the voters would figure it out. There were hints at his character along the way, some people choose party over principle.
The worst part about him, beyond the lies, is that he is revelling in all of this attention. You can see he actually enjoys being chased down by the reporters. He has absolutely no shame
Whats crazy is that he ran for congress. Why would a scam artist want that much of a spot light on them. How did he think that people weren't going to check into his background. I mean the whole way you win elections is digging up dirt on your opposition. Still he can't be any worse than uncle Fester.
George Santos fought alongside Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. He was also at the signing of Declaration of Independence. He swam the Delaware River to alert Patriots on the British arrival. He is a HERO.
When I apply for a job. The company I applied for did a background check on me including my Diploma (both high school and college) criminal background etc. He applied to work for the US Congress and the republican party failed to verify even the simplest thing, like his educational background. Reminded me of the Movie Catch Me if You Can.
One day they'll make a movie about this guy too. And he'll likely profit from it and genuinely have some wealth to boast about. I'm not a parent, but it must be a relief to parents that children don't pay attention to politics because the age old lesson of 'honesty is the best policy' is turning out to be a lie in itself!
Interestingly, some later research has put doubts on what the Catch Me If You Can guy told in his book, the basis for the film. It appears he didn't tell the truth there either. Go figure.
Anyone who lies about being a victim of the September 11th attacks should be tarred and feathered. Why wasn't that the final straw? He is spitting in the faces of the real victims of that terrible day. Absolute POS.
I used to know someone who called herself a "9/11 survivor." When asked about it (by someone else, in my presence) she said that she was in NYC on 9/11. Nowhere near the towers. That's her survivor story.
And I thought I had a rough life. Santos has been directly affected by every major disaster ever. Hindenburg??? He was the copilot that pulled the balloon off of a bus full of orphaned, child nuns. What a hero. He deserves everything he gets...
Amongst all his other spectacular achievements and accomplishments, George Santos was a Professor in Trump University, he was awarded honors in inventing Trump Stakes he also served at the Gaspacho Police with Herschel Walker, he was also a highly decorated Kamikaze pilot in the Second World War, who flew nine successful missions. Then of course he went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize for breaking records for waterfall swimming championships, swam across the Pacific, tracked down the Loch Ness Monster, invented the Internet, and he is also the Pilot who flew that Jet that took down the Chinese Spy Balloon Thingy.
What I know is true. He's a high school drop out. No degrees. Worked for a company running ponzi schemes. His mother died (nothing to do with 9-11, she was I'm Brazil in 2001) and he was too poor to bury her so funds were raised. He is sought after in Brazil for elder fraud and cheque fraud. He has lost court cases repeatedly for not paying rent and not repaying personal loans yet he doesn't seem to have paid them.
he's got allllll the makin's needed to kiss the ring then doesn't he???....standing so proud amongst the rest of the liars and cheats!!!....smhsmhsmdh!!!!!
He’s a con artist. He found inspiration in DT and now stepping up the game. Absolutely ridiculous that his constituents can’t get rid of him when they realized they were tricked
We must start doing our homework when someone says they want to represent us. They are the only government employees who are not drug tested. If you make background checks financial checks like most Americans go through that would alleviate a lot of these problems. Had they been made it part of protocol trump would have never made it pass that golden escalator.
@@patbnj The people really making money are the democrats that's for sure. All the money they have spent solving the homeless crisis they could have bought two homes each for every homeless person so far. And they still want more money.
I think he is dangerous, we don’t know who he really is. How do we know he was not planted there by a foreign interest. Congress needs to put differences aside and get this guy out because he could be a threat to national security. He is great for jokes but it’s time to get him out and file charges against him.
@@PKerusso not to mention the fraud he has committed. Where has he campaign money come from? Do we even know that his name is George Santos? The man stole money from a veteran’s Go fund me for his sick dog!!! That’s beyond low
Well done. Very thorough. Thanks for including the interviews with the Brazilians who knew him & were cheated by him. Thumbs up to the man who called him George Scamtos.
@Kath that is a great alternative moniker for this person, but I feel it's better to refer to him by his true (as far as anyone knows) name: Anthony Devalder.
It says they, at least those in the higher rankings of his local party, WERE STUPID, lazy, shallow.....and they THEMSELVES are untrustworthy in my opinion. They would be the first ones up in arms about hiring an 'some guy/gal who said they were an expert decorator or landscaper' to find out they weren't....bbbbecuz he took their money.....YET THEY HAD NO PROBLEM WITH "hiring this so called expert" on their *constituents* taxpayer dollars, did they?? At face value, they only cared that their 'candidate won'...never doing "due diligence" to vet him in the first place....those county/regional that helped get him elected should have "been careful what they wished for"...this will bite them....and they were TOLD before he ever won...they didn't care, they ignored those calls for caution by some newspaper reporters etc..
You should reconsider your vote for lying crooked elite career politician millionaire joe biden as well! Biden has lied about his family history. During the 1988 Democratic presidential primary, it emerged that he had plagiarized a speech by British Labour leader Neil Kinnock, adopting Kinnock’s family history as his own. “Why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university?” Biden asked. “Is it because I’m the first Biden in a thousand generations to get a college and a graduate degree? … My ancestors, who worked in the coal mines of northeast Pennsylvania and would come up after 12 hours and play football for four hours?” Not only were many of the words stolen, so were the facts: Biden was not the first in his family to go to college (only the first on his father’s side), and his ancestors had not been coal miners (though a great-grandfather was a mining engineer). In 2008, he falsely told the United Mine Workers “I am a hard coal miner.” (A spokesperson said he was joking.) Biden has also made numerous false assertions about his educational achievements. He claimed in 1987 that he had “graduated with three degrees from college,” had received an award as “the outstanding student in the political science department,” finished in the “top half” of his class at law school and received a “full academic scholarship.” None of that was true. He received a single B.A. in history and political science, had only been put up for the award by a professor, graduated 76th in a class of 85 from Syracuse College of Law, and had a partial need-based scholarship. After the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, he claimed to have written “a number of law review articles” on the right to privacy - which was untrue. He has also falsely claimed to have been arrested multiple times for taking righteous stands. During his 2020 campaign, Biden repeatedly claimed that he was arrested in South Africa trying to visit Nelson Mandela in prison, adding that Mandela thanked him for it when he came to Washington. None of it was true. Biden also claimed during a speech in Atlanta that he had been arrested while protesting for civil rights: “You think I’m kidding, man. It seems like yesterday the first time I got arrested.” According to the New York Times, “There is no evidence he was ever arrested during a civil-rights protest.” He has also falsely claimed to have been arrested as a college student for entering an all-female dorm, and sneaking into the U.S. Capitol. Has any president experienced so much imagined jail time? He has also lied about his experience in war zones. In 2021, Biden told State Department employees that he was “shot at” overseas - similar to a debunked claim of being shot at inside Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone made during a Democratic presidential debate in 2007. (He later revised the claim, saying that in fact, “I was near where a shot landed.”) In 2019, he told a detailed story about brushing off warnings of danger, when he was vice president, to pin a Silver Star on a Navy captain in Afghanistan. The Post reported that “almost every detail in the story appears to be incorrect.” It was President Barack Obama, not Biden, who gave him the award; it was the Medal of Honor, not the Silver Star; and the ceremony took place at the White House, not in Afghanistan. Biden has lied about consoling victims of tragedy. He claimed that he met in Washington with survivors of a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., while he was vice president, even though the shooting took place in 2018, well after he left office, and that he spent time at Tree of Life synagogue, after 11 people were massacred there in 2018, but it turns out he never visited. (He spoke to the rabbi by phone.) He has lied about his relationships with foreign leaders. In 2020, he claimed that he had gotten China to join the 2016 Paris climate accord “after meeting with Deng Xiaoping,” who died in 1997. And he has claimed more than 20 times that he had traveled 17,000 miles with Chinese President Xi Jinping - earning Biden a “Bottomless Pinocchio” from The Post. And, of course, Biden lies constantly about his record as president. He falsely claimed to have passed his student loan forgiveness “by a vote or two.” (Congress never voted on it.) He has repeatedly falsely claimed that he has cut the federal debt in half; that “real incomes are up” (they’ve suffered the largest decline in four decades); that his Chips Act will create 1 million construction jobs (the real number is 6,200); that his Inflation Reduction Act will reduce inflation (it will not); and that none of his military commanders advised him to leave a residual force in Afghanistan (they did). Biden’s career has been a constant stream of untruths. Yet no Democratic Party leaders have suggested that Biden is “woefully unqualified” or “unfit to serve.” Maybe Santos should switch parties and run for president - then all would be forgiven.
Nope. Santos has zero decision making power. His sole job is to press the red button whenever he is told to do so. Similarly, Hershel Walker was another perfect GOP candidate.
Great reporting by CBS News. They say "If you're ain't cheating, you ain't trying"... This quote couldn't have been more relatable than in the case of George Santos.
George Santos was Alexander the great's right hand, George ruled the empire for many centuries after emperor's death. He also spearheaded the NASA space program and became the first person to land on the moon. He faught in WW2 and became the most decorated general of all tme. Before he was elected to US congress, he won 12 Grammys and 24 Oscars. He also won a Miss Universe title, held in Mars, representing Brazil.
You forgot to add, And correct me if I am wrong… But did George not win a World Cup with America’s Women Soccer ⚽️Team in 1902… and then again with Pele and Brazil in 1958 … 😉
He's a love child of Arnold Schwarzenegger, too! He has Viking ancestry through his great-grandfather a thousand times removed, his aunt was a mistress of Charlie Chaplin, and the first sheep that was ever cloned belonged to a rescue farm that HE had set up for aging, sick work animals so that they wouldn't be turned into glue or dog food.
As a Greek-American I am disputing your first claim. I believe he was one of the 300 Spartans that fought the Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae. He's not a descendant of holocaust survivors, he's a descendant of Spartans. We love you George Santopoulos!
Mitt Romney said it simply: "He's a sick puppy"! Watching at timestamps 4:43, 6:37 , and 12:48 you can see his eyes dart to the left. Now we know one of his tells.
I have run into this personality type before, pathological liar that believes themself… it’s horrifying. He should be committed, not representing the people.
Missyyy, i went to trade school with a guy who was a pathological fabricator like Santos. For me the most disturbing part, as people began to see through him and he became more isolated, he remained completely unfazed as if nothing was wrong at all. Its sad because it is a real disorder. Hes crazy, but he doesnt realize hes crazy. After hes removed from congress i hope he gets the help he needs
@@terrylew2209 I think they think that everyone lies to appear better to everyone else, so it never seems disordered to the liar. It’s been normalized to them at some point. Kind of sad and also kind of scary.
I met George santos. I live in NY02 and work as a bus boy at a small restaurant. We had a request for a party of 100 a month or so ago and it was a lot of New York and Long Island republicans for the party. Nick LaLota, mayors of different cities, town of Babylon board, etc many local republicans. Santos was also there and I have a picture of his name signed on the party list of people who attended. Santos just sat in the back of the restaurant with 4-5 other people laughing and talking with eachother. He didn’t talk with the rest of the people or really interact with them at all. Wonder why he was even invited with to attend with them
There’s a brilliant explanation of George Santos’s behaviour on HG Tudor’s channel. The video is called ‘George Santos; A Political Narcissist’. His work is helpful in spotting people like Santos in your private life. Highly recommended!
I'm a grade 7 teacher in Special Ed trying to teach my kids to be honest citizens and then this clown shows up proving you can literally fabricate your entire life and rise to the halls of power. Great example for the kids right? I'd say you just can't make this stuff up but George actually did. Sigh.
Trump had already shown the children of America that lying and cheating pays off. Santos is now following in Trump's footsteps, taking the dishonesty even further. Entire generations of kids will look at these men as role models. The future looks very bad.
'Amen'!! Where, oh where, are some responsible people,, or office, to stop this outrageous, unlawful lyer? So sorry for you having to help you children/students to comprehend this bad side of the human nature and it's existence and acceptance in our USA Democracy. Sending you support!
They already did a movie...probably where he got the idea from "The Distinguished Gentleman " starring Eddie Murphy....and it was a comedy much like this...only if it wasn't true.
I like this. THIS is actual journalism. You interviewed BOTH sides. I think if we had more media like this maybe we the people would believe more of what's reported. I'm neither party sided but I respect the journalist who did this. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that neither party vetted him or any other politician running for an important official title.
I agree, however most people are only marginally interested and will not pay attention for more than a few minutes - you can even hear how people parrot beck certain talking points. I do believe much of the public had been so ground-down, dumbed-down by both a reduced and yet omni-present media that they don't have strong opinions or convictions. They can't state what they believe in and why but rather what they perceive to be the correct position.
There’s a party that doesn’t care about vetting even once they receive the nomination for the party… otherwise they wouldn’t have elected *”Person of Interest #1”*
@@iamskippy Ahhhh...but there is *NO* excuse for voting "Person of Interest #1." His nefarious record goes back to the days he worked with daddy ( Fred Trump) and was being groomed to lie and cheat (Roy Cohn, the Grand Master) and by the time both died....Donny was in full swing of scamming the system. Not paying contractors, lying to the state about his property values and lying to the IRS about his income and expenses. I can't imagine MY state allowing me to tell THEM how much my house is worth to base my taxes on .... But New York state trusted Trump!!!!
And this story, is a huge reason why local news is important (it was a local Western NY paper that broke this story) because the Washington Post, and NY Times would not have touched this story otherwise.
Extradite him to Brazil to stand trial for check fraud. He defrauded a store of $1300 in clothes and shoes using stolen checks and a fake ID. The store clerk had to pay it back to the store in installments for having made a mistake letting it go through. Two days after the theft a man named Thiago brought the shoes back to the store and tried to exchange them for a different size, saying a friend gave him the shoes and he had no idea about any illegal activity.
Meh, he knew who Santos was. The local conservative newspaper didn't endorse Santos, and ran the story of him being a fraud. The paper stated that he didn't go to the colleges that Santos said he went to, and that he never worked at Goldman & Sachs. The republican party knew all of this, and still supported him. It is now that he evolved into this scandal, that they are suddenly demanding his resignation.
@@Toy1er I agree with MR W. I think he's a top man because he could have danced around the subject and avoided answering the question about taking responsibility instead of admitting straight up his part in the situation. I'm sure many people have seen interviews where politicians and others have tried their best to avoid taking responsibility.
Early in the piece Santos says i didn’t just materialize out of nowhere. Then he has a big tell while recording his campaign piece. Watch his eyes darting around, as assembled a story about his financial successes.
Who redrew the maps? Who endorsed him while he ran? They knew he was sketchy and did nothing. Who made the donations? That's who is equally responsible. He should have been immediately arrested.
I don't know who started that "style" but it's ridiculous. I've seen people wearing tuxedos and tennis shoes. Wouldn't want to be uncomfortable, I suppose.
George Santos, "I'm not a fraud, I'm not a fake, I, I didn't materialize from thin air." Oh yes you did George or whatever your real name is, you materialized from lots and lots of thin hot air and lies!
Hey, give the man his dues... the one time he was honest, the one time he spoke the truth, revealling that he didn't suddenly appear out of thin air and you want to pick him up on that! That 'thin air' quote is tomb stone material. I think the day he said that was a historic day in his life. He must have been so angry with himself for that slip up.
There's an episode of law and order with a character called victor vargas whose a serial liar and fantasist involved in campaign funding violations, fraud , grifting people for non existent business opportunities. It's scary how similar the storyline in the episode is to the life of George Santos.
I'm frankly surprised you're not aware of Santos' WWII record. It's well-known that Santos planned the D-Day invasion with Eisenhower, lead the 82nd Airborne's arial assault on the beaches of Normandy in 1944, single-handedly liberated three German death camps, captured Goering, piloted the Enola Gay over Hiroshima and then negotiated and signed the the Instrument Of Surrender on behalf of the United States aboard the USS Missouri.
The real question is, why wasn't all of this known before he was elected? Time for a little background reform? Then there is the issue of a speaker of the house protecting this man...
Good journalism is like kryptonite to these conmen/women inside and outside of politics. It’s so refreshing to see a Republican who cannot fallback on the “fake news” mantra. Journalist are my superheroes.
Or, he's one of those things the GOP hates, an anchor baby whose mom came here to give birth expressly for the purpose of getting citizenship for her child.
You need a background check to get a job that pays $9/hour in a warehouse, but not background check when you run for Congress. Is that even make sense?
The local media at the time did raise alarms, however people nowadays pay more attention to mainstream media. Now obviously more has come out since his election but the glaring red flags were their for constituents to see at the time if they had looked. What can I say, people believe what they are told mainly based on whether words are coming from a democrat or a republican. See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil if it's coming from my side.
Please media, don’t let this be normalized. Report on his liar a*** everyday. Him standing right there wanting to shake hands with dignitaries was the coup de gras for me
George, Marjorie Trailer-Trash Greene, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and others should just have their own sick reality TV show, because that's what they're making our legislative system into.
