It Was Mostly True

Newly elected representative George Santos (R– –because of course he is) has admitted to lying, or as he calls it, ‘embellishing his résumé.’ Santos also claimed that “a lot of people overstate in their resumes.”

EXCEPT that most of us have never lied about easily verifiable things, like where we worked, where we graduated, or that we had grandparents who survived the Holocaust.

I mean, sure, I lied on my résumé back in the day, but in my defense, I wasn’t trying to deceive 150,000 registered voters, and I fully intended to learn “conversational Spanish” if I had gotten the part.
