New York Republicans are pressuring freshman congressman Rep. George Santos (R-NY) to step down after it was revealed that he fabricated many of his qualifications —but Santos says he won’t resign.
From Fox News:
Santos has faced growing calls for his resignation since his resume was proven to be false after winning the midterm elections. The Nassau GOP, which operates within Santo’s congressional district, is the first major Republican group to call for Santos’ resignation.
“George Santos campaign last year was a campaign of deceit, lies, and fabrication,” Nassau County GOP Chairman Joe Cairo said in a statement. “He has no place on the Nassau County Republican committee, nor should he serve public service, nor as an elected official. He’s not welcome here at GOP HQ.”
When contacted by Fox News Digital on Wednesday morning, Santos said he had no comment. He later told reporters on Capitol Hill that he “will not” resign.
Santos also told a group of reporters, including ABC’s Lalee Ibssa, that he will not resign.
