“My question is, do you have no shame?” Gabbard asked Santos on Tuesday night.
Incoming Republican Congressman George Santos of New York has been called out by former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard for telling “blatant lies.”
Santos is facing calls to resign after admitting to multiple lies about his background and qualifications during a successful campaign for New York’s 3rd Congressional District. He attempted to explain away the fabrications as “a mistake” and insisted that he was “not a fraud” during the interview
“I think we can all look at ourselves in the mirror and admit that once in our life, we made a mistake,” Santos told Gabbard. “I have the courage to do so, because I believe that in order to move past this and move forward and be an effective member of Congress, I have to face my mistakes. And I’m facing them.”
Gabbard seemed unimpressed by the answer and proceeded to point out that Santos had told several lies.
“The thing is, congressman-elect, integrity means … telling the truth, being a person of integrity,” she said. “All of these lies that you’ve told, not just one little lie, or one little embellishment—these are blatant lies.
