Rep. George Santos’ (R-N.Y.) web of lies is starting to unravel.

The New York Post reported, “A video also surfaced of what appeared to be the freshman rep clad in a black dress and sunglasses, boasting about performing as a drag queen at the Pride parade in the Rio suburb of Niteroi in 2005.”
Santos responded…
The most recent obsession from the media claiming that I am a drag Queen or “performed” as a drag Queen is categorically false.
The media continues to make outrageous claims about my life while I am working to deliver results.
I will not be distracted nor fazed by this.

I continue to maintain this dude is a con artist.
The GOP is going to regret allowing him to take his seat.
