Marjorie Taylor Greene defends George Santos and rips Tulsi Gabbard after controversial PKB interview

Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene came to the defense of fellow Republican elected representative George Santos late Tuesday after former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard confronted the future congressman for lying about his education, religious background and birth. experience on the Rue wall.

Greene (R-Ga.) Said Gabbard (D-Hawaii) gave Santos (R-NY) “zero grace” during his appearance on PKB News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the player’s first TV interview 34 years since it became clear. about his fabricated professional biography, which included false claims that he attended Baruch College and worked for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.

“Tulsi Gabbard, who says she is a former Democrat, has granted no pardon to George Santos, while George admits and apologizes for lying about his resume, just as his former colleagues do not grant no thanks to George and even demand that he resign”, Greene tweetedbefore tackling Gabbard’s legislative record.

“I don’t think a former Democrat [whose] actions on the House floor as recent as 2020 that gave it an A from Planned Parenthood, an F from the NRA, and ushered in a landmark climate bill called the OFF Act — designed to end all fossil fuels (the same as Green New Deal) should lecture a newly elected Republican member of [Congress] on how he should vote to represent his Republican district,” she added.

“The left don’t care about lying,” Greene continued. “The real reason they’re attacking George Santos is that he [is] the first openly gay [non-incumbent] Elected Republican and they hate him for it.

Greene is one of the few Republicans to speak out about Santos, as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has remained silent on the would-be lawmaker’s failings. The Post reported last week that House Republican leaders were aware of Santos’ fabrications to the extent that they became “a running joke.”

Fellow Republican elected official from Long Island, Nick LaLota, on Tuesday asked the House Ethics Committee to investigate Santos over his false claims on the campaign trail, which also included bragging that he was a “proud American Jew,” that his mother was Jewish and that his maternal grandparents fled Nazi persecution in Europe.

Santos told the Post on Monday that he was “clearly Catholic” and claimed he meant he was “Jewish.”

On Tuesday night, Santos told Gabbard, who replaced regular PKB host Tucker Carlson, that “everyone wants to nitpick him” over his inflated resume while ignoring the Democratic Party’s biggest deceptions.

“Look at Joe Biden,” Santos said. “Joe Biden has been lying to the American people for 40 years. He’s the President of the United States. Democrats overwhelmingly support him. Aren’t they ashamed?

Santos told The Post on Monday that he was confident he would serve his full two-year term despite the lies.

“I am not a criminal,” he said. “That will not prevent me from having a good legislative success. I will be efficient. I will be good.
