Photograph: Will Oliver/EPAPhotograph: Will Oliver/EPAhas said about his own life. His story changes and contradicts itself; his lies seem indiscriminate, and largely ad hoc. He says he worked at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, which he didn’t. He said he graduated from Baruch College – he didn’t do that, either. Some of his fabrications are so trivial and specific that it’s impossible to ascribe a nefarious motive to them.
What could Santos possibly have to gain, for instance, by claiming, as he apparently did to a local Republican party leader, to have been a? Others are transparently self-serving, his attempts to cover them up so brazen as to be frankly hilarious. On the campaign trail, running in the heavily Jewish third district of New York, on suburban Long Island, Santos claimed that he was “a member of the Jewish community”, and descended from Ukrainian refugees.
He professed the identities that have been most easily demonized in the Republican imagination: he was supposed to be Jewish, a member of the group targeted by conspiratorial QAnon theories; he was supposed to be gay, a member of the group increasingly smeared on the right as pedophiles; he was supposed to be a Latino immigrant, a member of the group associated with dark fantasies in the white mind about demographic change and crime.
And of course, there were the remarkable historical coincidences, the tendency of Santos to claim his own life intersected with moments of crisis for the American conscience. He said that his grandparents – the supposedly Jewish ones – had been Holocaust survivors. He said that his mom had died in 9/11. He said that he had lost four employees at the Pulse massacre, the event where a gunman opened fire at an Orlando gay club.
Didn't know George was colourblind.

'Catastrophe': George Pell's secret memo blasts Pope FrancisRevelations have emerged of the Australian prelate&x27;s growing concern about what he considered the "disaster" and "catastrophe" of the papacy under Francis. What's the go? While it's still very good news that he is dead, bringing up irrelevant news is too harsh on Victims of Sexual Assault, his and the paedophile priest he hid. Just leave it now, he is not worth it on any front. Amazing a so-called religion invests 350 million into real estate. Money and power exist. Imaginary friends...not so much There are a lot of people judging Pell who are determined to go to Hell: 'As you judge, you shall also be judged'. But as more than 90% are atheists, they'd end up there anyway.
