The Controversial Legacy of George Santos: Fraud, Accusations, and Political Trading.
TL;DR
Former Democratic state Senator Anna Kaplan launched her campaign to take back Rep. George Santos' congressional seat, highlighting her Jewish heritage and slamming his lies about having a Jewish background. Kaplan's biggest focus was on Santos' claim on his campaign website that his mother was Jewish and his grandparents escaped the Nazis during World War II. Santos was hit with numerous federal fraud charges, including embezzling $50,000 in campaign money for designer duds and personal expenses, cheating his way to COVID unemployment pay, and lying to Congress about his income.
