Other posts she has shared on her Facebook page, which include pictures of her and the congressman-elect, include depictions of Jesus and quotes from the Bible. His mother died in 2016, according to an online obituary.
Santos, in a 2020 interview, said his family converted to Christianity while living in Brazil.
Santos told the New York Post that he “never claimed to be Jewish” but that his “maternal family had a Jewish background,” which he meant as being “Jew-ish.”
The caravan then went to the Citibank branch on Union Turnpike in New Hyde Park, highlighting the false claims about his employment history.
In January The New York Times released the resume Santos submitted to the Nassau County Republican Committee in 2020. The two-page resume said Santos graduated in the top 1 percent with a 3.89 GPA at Baruch College, doubled revenue growth as a project manager at Goldman Sachs in an eight-month period and tripled sales growth within the frst six months as a vice president at LinkBridge Investors.
Santos did not attend Baruch and never was an employee of Goldman Sachs.
“There is no question in my mind that Mr. Santos is not ft to represent the people of Congressional District 3,” Said resident Charlie Robbins. “We have no idea what he stands for except himself and his power and greed.”
The fnal stop before the caravan drove to his district ofce was Little Neck’s Il Bacco, the restaurant where Santos held his victory party on Election Night and his campaign spent over $14,000 through Nov. 28 during the 2022 election cycle.
Rallies calling for Santos to resign and be expelled from Congress have been held since he was sworn-in earlier this year.
Nassau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan (D-Woodbury) tweeted to Santos on Feb. 23 that he held a protest outside his ofce before delivering a letter telling him to stop wasting police resources. Santos originally tweeted that Lafazan stopped by his ofce to discuss issues in the district.
“I want to personally thank @JoshLafazan for stopping by my Douglaston ofce today. It was great to sit down & discuss the concerns that were addressed in the letter he brought in. #NY03,” Santos tweeted on Feb. 23.
