George Santos Doubles Down On $700K Campaign ‘Loan’ And Mother’s 9/11 Death

In a new interview, serial liar Rep. George Santos (R-NY) doubled down on claims that his mother died due to 9/11, dismissed immigration records indicating that she was in Brazil when the attack occurred, and insisted he personally loaned his campaign $700,000. From Business Insider:

He claimed in a 2021 tweet that “9/11 claimed my mother’s life,” even though his mother, Fatima Devolder, died of cancer in 2016.

Santos has claimed in a new interview with OANN’s Caitlin Sinclair, published Saturday, that he never claimed his mother died on the day of the terror attack, “but that she had died as a result of [them].”

“The toxic dust that permeated throughout Manhattan and my mother being present, downtown Manhattan, that is, was what I was referencing,” Santos. “My mom died in home-hospice in 2016.”

Santos also claims he never authorized “unchecking” a box on his FEC form regarding the infamous $700K loan which indicated whether or not the funds were a personal loan. He has “fiduciaries” for that, you see… Related: Justice Dept Asks FEC To Pause As Prosecutors Investigate Campaign Funds Read more at Business Insider.

Nothing he said makes any sense. “Capital introduction, introduction to business, purchase agreements…” Anyone who has run their own business knows he basically just said nothing. Who were his clients? What did they pay him for? It’s not that complicated.
