The GOP Rep. was swiftly dragged on X, formerly Twitter, after posting a sign from the 2023 New York City Marathon that mocked his penchant for lying.

New York Republican Representative George Santos was swiftly dragged on X, formerly Twitter, after posting a sign from the 2023 New York City Marathon that mocked his penchant for lying.

An unknown individual created a sign that humorously referenced Santos' long record of dishonesty:


"Pace yourself. George Santos finished 21 hours ago."

But Santos—best known for fabricating practically his entire life story—nonetheless shared the photo along with a laugh-crying emoji, leaving it unclear whether he fully grasped the joke's context.

He wrote:

"So this happened in the NYC marathon!"

You can see his post below.

People on the social media platform mocked him for sharing a joke at his own expense.



Last month, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn unveiled an updated indictment against Santos, tacking on an additional 10 federal charges, which increased the total number of charges against the Long Island Republican to 23.

The expanded charges detail that Santos allegedly engaged in identity theft, unauthorized use of donors' credit cards, and the submission of falsified campaign reports. These reports included non-existent loans and contributions that were either fabricated or unlawfully obtained.

At his most recent court hearing held on October 27, a judge set Santos' trial date for September 9, 2024, months after the GOP primary in which Santos has declared he will participate.

Last week, Santos managed to survive a House expuslion vote, retaining his position as most Republicans and 31 Democrats chose not to remove him while his criminal trial and a House Ethics Committee investigation proceed.

Efforts to expel Santos from the House were initiated by fellow New York Republicans eager to distance themselves from a colleague accused of fabricating his life story, stealing from donors, lying to Congress, and wrongly receiving unemployment benefits.

However, the resolution to expel him did not receive the necessary two-thirds vote. In fact, it couldn't even garner a simple majority, with 179 votes for expulsion and 213 against.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
