George Santos

Under the House Republican leadership of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, promises have been made, and promises are being kept.

I am not a criminal here - not here or in Brazil or any jurisdiction in the world.

We do stupid things in life.

I didn't graduate from any institution of higher learning.

I'm very much gay.

I married a woman. It's personal stuff.

I dated women in the past.

I am Catholic.

It was President Biden who killed the Keystone Pipeline, imposed a $62 billion dollar tax on natural gas, promised $27 billion to special interest climate groups and as a result, our country went from being energy independent to an energy dependent country.

I am proud to have voted in support of sensible legislation that aims to lower energy costs while increasing American energy production.

As a freshman Member of Congress, I am amazed by the enormous talent of artwork that is on display in our Nation's Capital.

Countries who limit or prohibit women from attending any educational institution, walking freely without a male escort or barring women from basic human rights should be prohibited from receiving U.S. federal funding.

It is highly concerning that we continue to provide federal assistance to countries that still have laws and policies that discriminate or criminalize based upon gender.

Democrats in office are not representing Democrats, rank-and-file, who elected them.

Since I have been sworn into Congress, I have made it my top priority to serve New York's Third Congressional District from introducing & supporting sound policy to assisting my constituents with federal agency concerns.

I urge my colleagues to join me in this mission to block tyrannical and draconian measures from being utilized by the Federal Government. If a public health emergency has been declared, then the federal agency looking to impose the mandate must submit a report to Congress and highlight the intent as well as the research behind the vaccine.

Medical Freedom is an absolute right.

Spousal support is typically coupled with familial tribulation.

By revoking the ability for social media providers to be considered publishers, we ensure that they can no longer manipulate social media to further a political agenda. These companies have cost the American People their First Amendment right to free speech.

For far too long, tech companies have been getting away with shielding themselves with protections under Section 230.

Congress needs to be in this based on making real change, not protecting their seat in Congress.

I do not want to look back in the future and bear the burden of stiffing the American people with a government drunk on overspending when I had the opportunity to stop it.

The Biden Administration provides federal tax-payer funding to NGOs to indiscreetly shelter, purchase airplane tickets, and provide instructions on how to get through TSA without proper ID, along with how to enroll children into school once they reach their destination.

We need to ensure that taxpayer dollars are preventing human trafficking and smuggling, not encouraging it.

The turmoil at the southern border has undoubtedly bred a lucrative industry for heinous cartels and their illicit human trafficking operations.

I do believe in fiscal conservative values, and I do believe that we have an obligation to leave a better country for the next generation. I don't think that the Democrat Party is representative of that.

The politicians in Manhattan are destroying New York City and we don't want those bad policies here in Long Island. We see the devastating effects and we want nothing to do with it.

Criminals must be held accountable for their actions.

Democrats in New York and across the country are putting criminals above law-abiding citizen.

The cost of living, the cost of energy, crime, inflation. These are real bread-and-butter kitchen table issues.

I talked about issues that were hurting everybody. Issues that kept moms and dads and people up at night before they went to bed.

Democratic socialists want to control you.

I'm assiduously critical of people who want to start their American Dream and that journey and want to start it the wrong way.

In January 2021, my home was vandalized. My husband and I had gone to a New Year's Eve party in 2020 in Florida. I'm going to a New Year's Eve party with my husband. We go back to our house - it was vandalized because we were at a Republican Party in Florida in December 2020.

I urge my colleagues to join me to aggressively demand commonsense energy policies, to encourage due diligence and transparency from the decision makers, and to shore up our strategic reserves for the sake of our precious national security.

My family fled socialist regimes not once but twice.

All I say is, let's pray for Ukraine... and they need the prayers. I know that it wasn't easy for my grandfather's family, and they migrated from there because it was tough.

I want our country to succeed.

Aviation is struggling with an aging workforce facing mandatory retirements, fewer pilots exiting the military, and barriers to entry, including the cost of training.

I'm a fiscal conservative, I'm socially moderate.

I'm very proud to be able to represent people who think much like me and have a similar lifestyle. It's also good to show to people that, other than popular belief in what the mainstream media likes to put out there that there is no place for gay people in the Republican Party, that's not true.

I have an immunodeficiency and I also have acute chronic bronchitis.

My grandfather was born in Kyiv and left in the late 20s and migrated to Belgium where he met my grandmother and then started a family.

I don't understand where these allegations come from 'oh George Santos lives in a fantasy world.'

I'm the first one to say 'not doing that, can't afford it.' I have no issue saying when I can and can't do things.

I don't think lying is excusable ever, period.

I have no issues limiting my ability to write a check whether it's for a charity or a political engagement.

We've been scorned, exposed, I mean, I don't even know what word to use. But we're persona non grata in the gay community in New York City. I'm not welcome because I don't think like them... they think that I'm a self-hating homophobe.

I am not welcome in the New York City Pride Parade whatsoever. I am not welcomed, that has been made very clear to me multiple times.

I'm a Latino gay man who is a Republican. Is that not a contradiction on its own? And I say that facetiously, because that's what the Democrat Party has at least trained the population to believe.
