“Less than a week into his tenure in the House, Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) already has legislation named after him: The SANTOS Act, which punishes congressional candidates who willfully lie to voters about who they actually are. https://t.co/eyiRl3zwz3”

Wow did you see the footage of the press following Santos today on @msnbc ?
Holy cow!

@RitchieTorres #SantosAct It would be lovely if it required their taxes and business doings as well. Possibly a panel of independent psychologists to evaluate if they're mentally fit, not psychopathic, self-aggrandizing liars.

The Washington Post reported today:

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) said he will introduce legislation requiring that when candidates for federal office provide details of their education, employment and military history, they do so under oath. Torres calls the bill the Stop Another Non-Truthful Office Seeker (SANTOS) Act.

WATCH: #GeorgeSantos has been exposed for the fraud that he is but still unanswered is the $705k question: Where did all this money come from?

BOOST if you agree Santos MUST be investigated and the #SANTOSAct should be passed.

NY Congressman Ritchie Torres is introducing a bill to require candidates to disclose under oath their employment, educational, & military history so we can punish candidates who lie to voters about their qualifications.

It will be called the Stop Another Non-Truthful Office Seeker (SANTOS) ACT.

They better compare this with the court ruling that allowed candidates to lie and prevented the regulation of political falsehoods in Ohio. Look for weaknesses and loopholes in the ruling and that law.

Ohio passed a law banning falsehoods, but it was struck down on First Amendment grounds.
