The NYTimes reports that New York Republican Congressman George Santos' resume is a pack of lies...

I can't understand why public figures lie about their past. Eventually, someone is going to check the claims and discover the lies.

I also don't understand how the press can be so slow in confirming candidate's claims. Why didn't the NYTimes write their story *before* Santos was elected? @jayrosen_nyu @jeffjarvis @online-news

New York Republican George Santos’s Résumé Called Into Question

Mr. Santos, a Republican from New York, says he’s the “embodiment of the American dream.” But he seems to have misrepresented a number of his career highlights.

Politicians presumably tell little white lies, which is ho hum to the press; but apparently this guy has an imaginary life. One would have thought that the Republican Party would have checked him out.
