“I speak for every American when I say we are done tucking our tails and being at the losing end of every trade-off we make with the CCP. They take our jobs, use our technology, and steal our intellectual property, and in turn, we get robbed, spied on, and a deadly virus.”

American former politician and convicted fraudster

George Santos is an American former politician and convicted fraudster. He served as the U.S. representative for New York's 3rd congressional district from January to December 2023, before being expelled from Congress. Elected as a Republican in 2022, he defeated Democrat Robert Zimmerman after an earlier unsuccessful run against incumbent Tom Suozzi. He is the first openly LGBTQ Republican elected to Congress as a freshman, and his public profile is tied to a brief and highly troubled congressional tenure.
