• Incoming Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has once again come under fire for promoting false claims about his background while campaigning during the midterm elections, this time surrounding the details of his mother’s death.
• “9/11 claimed my mother’s life … so I’m blocking so I don’t ever have to read this again,” Santos tweeted on July 12.
• But that claim was questioned by Twitter users after Santos posted again on Dec. 23 commemorating his mother’s death, which he said occurred in 2016.
