Embattled and disgraced Rep. George Santos pledged in January to donate all of $174,000 Congressional salary to charity, but now won’t say where the money went.
Santos, who lied about being a Jewish descendent of Holocaust survivors along with an almost incomprehensibly long list of other fibs, and who is under investigation for being involved in multiple alleged financial scams, said multiple times that his salary would be contributed to organizations “such as a soup kitchen, or animal shelter” on a quarterly basis. That would mean his first donation would be taking place this month.
But now Santos is telling off reporters who want to know where the money went.
“Is there a requirement for an annual report that I should submit to you?” Santos shot at a Business Insider report who asked him where he put the money. “The answer is no… I owe you no explanation to what I do with my salary.”
“Do you think I’m going to burden the nonprofits that I’m going to write checks to, so people of the likes of you can go harass them?” Santos added. “They have busy work to do. Come on!”
Santos said he’ll make an announcement when he makes a donation, but will not reveal where the money was given. Asked when that announcement would come, Santos was coy.
“Don’t stand up waiting, you’ll get tired,” he said. “Take a seat, it might take a while.”

Yawn. Must be a slow news day. Very few people outside the media give a hoot about this.
He makes the rest of them squirm he’s just totally brazen about it !! Why pretend ? If he does a good job for his district keep him. So far they haven’t nailed him for a crime if they did you can bet he’d be jammed up. This is a rock star you can’t help but laugh.
“You’ll just have to take my word for it.”
I donate all my salary to a soup kitchen, an animal shelter, and a homeless shelter. I call it “my home,” where my family lives, cooks and eats soup and other things, an animal shelter where my dog lives. My spouse and children would be homeless without it.
What income did Santos disclose on the forms required of members of Congress? Does he have another income so that he can donate his entire Congressional salary to charities? Somehow I don’t think he’s being honest about these donations.
But one thing is certain. If he was a leftist you wouldn’t even hear about this…
