« 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.
