Joshua Solomon reports in the Times Union that almost two weeks after the New York Times uncovered an extreme list of lies from Long Island Congressman-elect George Santos, Rep. Elise Stefanik still has not made any comment about her new fellow Republican representative. There are now multiple investigations into the background of the newly elected Congressperson and the sources of his personal wealth and campaign funds. Santos has also lied about his mother's death (claiming it had something to do with the 9/11 attack), falsely claimed his grandparents "survived the Holocaust," and falsely claimed he was half Black. Last May, Stefanik Tweeted a photo with Santos following a campaign fundraiser. "WOW! Great lunch event," she wrote. "George has my complete and total endorsement and come November, New Yorkers will send George to Congress!" Stefanik Tweeted. Another Republican Congressperson, Marc Molinaro, who was elected for the 19th Congressional District, briefly commented on the issue, telling the Democrat & Chronicle that, "this revelation from my colleague is disappointing and distracts from the important work ahead of us." a href="https://www.timesunion.com/state/article/Stefanik-remains-silent-on-Santos-as-she-rallies-17685850.php?IPID=Times-Union-HP-state-package">Read the full story in the Times Union.
