Just months after taking office, embattled Republican Rep. George Santos of New York has been charged with at least one federal offense. Before winning office last November, Santos lied about his professional accomplishments, his education, and his family's history. He has previously admitted to "embellishing" his resume, but has repeatedly denied any criminal wrongdoing.
George Santos is a disgrace. Even the Nassau County Republican Committee, which helped elect him, is now calling on him to resign, as have some prominent GOP lawmakers from New York State.
Santos does not belong in Congress. He needs to resign in order to exit government gracefully.
