Disabled Navy veteran Richard Osthoff says Rep. George Santos helped raise thousands of dollars for a cancer treatment for his therapy dog and then never came through with the money. Santos did not respond to NBC News but told Semafor News it is not true. NBC News’ Ryan Nobles has more details.

#NBCNews #GeorgeSantos #GoFundMe
He’s just like trump. No empathy for his own evil. Sickening. Liars must be held accountable for their words and actions. These kinds of freaks must be removed from government forever.
A Habitual liar. We cannot have this guy in office!! Bad enough the lies from those seated who actually was truthful about their credentials. Now we are going to give seat to someone who’s made his way to his position via fraud? is this how this government works? if your a clever liar then your our kinda guy!!!????
All this is being seen and read about ‘World Wide’ , the only ones who don’t give a Crap are your Republican Lawmakers, Trump really damaged your Country!
complete con artist so many in the republican party now. Did nobody check into his claims?
i saw a funny meme the other day, it said that now that lisa marie presley has passed elvis has only one surviving child now…… George Santos
The poor man’s Hunter
Tomorrow’s news: George Santos was a drag queen in Brazil.
Every knows where he works. Anyone he has screwed over needs to file a lawsuit. Bet plenty of lawyers more than happy to help**
he trying to get the money he has already stolen
He represent my district in congress and i want this liar out
The people making the narratives always have more power on public opinioni than the person being accused.
Unfortunately the Constitution allows a convicted felon to be a member of Congress, even if in prison. It’s up to the Senate or House to decide who may serve. As for state offices, different laws apply in different places. Yet in some states a convicted felon cannot vote. Wtf. Mccarthy knew about Santos criminal activities but like Republicans did with ex-#45 looked the other way just to have a Republican body as a member of Congress. Mccarthy looking the other way putting Santos on two committees along with other Republican members of Congress involved in the January 6, 2021 coup attempt and insurrection so they can continue to destroy democracy from within by obstructing committees.
Creepy liar and theif
Read he also kicked a kitten
Santos is a monster.
It’s getting weird AF.
Can he still even get a security clearance?
No new revelation is going to matter. He has no significant education either. Science and Technology. Oh ok.
Can America send this guy back to Brazil with Jair Bolsonaro?
Isn’t it about time people demand his. Orthopedic certificate? If it was cool for righties to demand it of Obama because he is black at least there is a good reason now
Blame the New York GOP.
Trumpian Criminals will be criminals after all.
Again, I don’t understand why these people didn’t show up while he was running.
Republicans like McCarthy, Greene, Gaetz.. are supporting George Santos.
Republican party is absolutely corrupted and insane.
🙈🙉🙊
Of course he’d fake a GoFundMe and steal the cash for a dying therapy dog for a disabled vet…POS.
Booooooo
Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter, they all seem to do much of the same. This guy has just taken it to a whole new level of insanity. Yet there were people out there that voted for him, let that sink in for a moment.
Just like the repugs to keep a known liar and criminal in office, I can’t wait to see that criminal party go down in flames.
I’m a Republican, if Santos pulled this crap, then he can go prison! Unlike you frickin’ Democrats, we don’t back this crap! I don’t need you lies about Trump either! So don’t bother commenting, I won’t respond!
He is the perfect republican.
Santos is the perfect poster boy for the Republican Party.
Wow just wow
Maybe Santos is just hungry for a knuckle sandwich.
MAGA morons “We like him, he tells it like it is just like the greatest president in the wooorled.”
Kevin McCarthy won’t make it by backing this dude 😂😂
Kevin knew that George impersonated Kevin’s chief pd staff even before George was elected. George’s mother was not in the US when 9/11 happened. He is like Trump, getting a scam idea from what he heard of watched. He scammed $3000 from GoFundme… For the cancer dog, from which he got an idea of creating an animal charity organization, which does not exist. He was welcomed by a criminal party, naturally, because there is no other places where criminals can go to.
Santos with his lies are not the problem. The GOP that keeps him around in the job is.
The crazy part is that society’s hyperbole about politicians has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. People have casually thrown around generalizations like “they’re all a bunch of crooks” for so long that, when a certifiable crook takes office, many’s reaction isn’t “they need to resign or be expelled”, it’s “well, so-and-so was a crook too” like some 5-year old justifying their bad behavior on the playground. This maddening cycle needs to end, starting with allies of the Speaker urging him to take the high road, even if it comes at a personal cost to his career.
The Republican Party is happy to have one more criminal as a member. Their goal is the same: money, and power. They are busy, not for them public services, but for removing all the “anti-trump” democrats from the government and for elevating their dictatorship control.
He must have studied at “Trump University”…
Amazing the people today’s voters vote into office to run our country.
“He’s a physcopath” lmfaooo 💀
He’s not a good example for the children, and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICIA AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE SHOWING THE WORLD THAT THEY DONT CARE ABOUT ETHICIAL CONDUCT IN T OUR GOVERMENT. SHOWING THE WORLD THEY DONT CARE WHO IS CORRUPT AS LONG AS THOSE FUNDS COME IN.
What a POS. He will fit right in with the MAGAt GOP.
George Santos is the Donald Trump of politics.
This guy is a National Security risk on wheels. As a member of Congress he is bound to come across information (even unintentionally) we don’t want our enemies to have and this guy has proven he values a quick payday over anything else.
So true!! He would be the perfect spy.
Just another…. Republic-Con🤬
anyone that steals from a homeless vets need to be put to sleep
He embellished his resume, but he’s not a fraud😂🤣😂🤣
Did he also steal candy from a baby (who is not named Maggie Simpson)?
Santos is so creepy – how can they continue to allow him to remain in Congress ? It’s so absurd !
Can anyone of you libs know why trump calls “Elizabeth Warren ” pocahontas ?
Wow!! That’s crazy!
GoFundMe is a total scam.only the “right”posts and people ever see a penny.most people w actual needs never see one speck of help or hope
Joe Biden stole classified documents! this we know
remove george santos from office and rip to that dog.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 republican are bad humans.
A corrupt Congressman? Who s surprised?
Scam-tos needs to be locked up
next, he will be stealing from a Childrens’ cancer charity
Where is Garland The Weak?! Is he ever going to give us that nation he said means NO ONE ABOVE THE LAW?!
What a narcissistic psychopath. 🤮
Omgeee…”he doesn’t deserve that job”..lol and per McCarthy ” he is part of the Republicans ” …dang this is getting to be a sh. T ahow!!
Republican Presidential candidate for 2024 George Santos.🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is exactly who the Republicans are, any Sitting Republican Congressman who haven’t called him out mean they are now complicit with his deceit.
The NY Post is running abusive & hurtful stories on George Santos calling him convoluted for dressing as a drag queen in Brazil, an open hate crime against US citizens in the country.
No different from blowjoe
He hasn’t a creer as politician. He failed the Politics 101. Lie
Jfc
If a man can steal money from a dieing dog what do you think he will be able to steal from you or anything else
I agree, he is a psychopath and should be expelled from Congress immediately.
They elected him because they thought the republican party had already completed proper vetting but if it turns out the accusations are true then they may have picked a candidate that was honest and valued his own credibility with the public.
No surprise. Republicans are religious grifters, scammers, theives and have a deep propensity for lies and crime. So scamming anyone for anything is the behavior we expect from Republicans.
How long does all this have to continue before something is done????
Vetting, vetting, vetting, security clearance BEFORE running to represent 🇺🇸 citizens_ not sure if this exist??
McCarthy has no shame either.
He is worse than Trump 🤣🤣🤣
“I am not a fraud”. Famous last words.
Dudes a pathological liar
I wanted to comment, but the top comments really says it all for me.
Santos: I’m a psychopath
Republicans: Prove it
Santos: … Proves it
Republicans: Welcome to the team
Once again, the GOP is a club with no standards. What a bunch of skids.
That is republican government
George “DeSantis” at it again…
Lemme know when US justice finally figures out he’s wanted criminal from another country. 🤨
To all veterans if you see this guy squash him
…………Semper Fidelis
Get him OUTTTT!!
At this point he needs a psych evaluation. Something is not right with this man. He literally believes his own lies.
I cannot imagine a nastier human being than Santos!!
The perfect Republican. We thing he’s hit rock bottom. George is like “This isn’t even my final form”.
They STILL making sure to NOT tell you about him once being a “tranny”. They’ll tell you everything else – EXCEPT – that one!!
SANTOS PENA 28!!!! THEY OWN THE LIBS EVERY DAY OF THEIR LIVES!! MAGA!!! THE NEW GENERATION OF REPUBLICANS!!!! TUCKER HANNITY SANTOS PENA TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A woman was just sentenced to 3 years in prison in New Jersey for a GoFundMe scam.
our next president
Get this guy out … wtf
Letting dog die. That’s evil
Santos is a Republican. Enough said.
Yes psychopath
I dont know why I find it amusing that people are losing their marbles at the dude for lying. How else was he supposed to get in the Republican circle? Are we mad he lie or that we now know lying is essential to getting “your foot” in the door and not just in government.
