Far-right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene got here to the defense of fellow Republican-elect George Santos on Tuesday after former Democratic MP Tulsi Gabbard confronted the longer term congressman for lying about his education, religious background and experience on Wall Street.
Greene (R-Ga.) said Gabbard (D-Hawaii) gave Santos (R-NY) “zero grace” during his appearance on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight, the 34-year-old’s first television interview since admitted about his fabricated skilled 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, gave Rep-elect George Santos no mercy while George admits and apologizes for lying about her resume just as her former colleagues give George no mercy and even demand his resignation.” Greene wrote on Twitterbefore proceeding to attack Gabbard’s legislative files.
“I do not think they are a Democrat [whose] actions within the House of Representatives from 2020 that gave it an A rating from Planned Parenthood, an F from the NRA and introduced a chunk of laws to log out on the climate agenda called the OFF Act – geared toward ending all fossil fuels (same because the AOC Green Latest Deal) should lecture a newly elected Republican member [Congress] about how he should vote to represent his Republican district,” she added.

“The Left doesn’t care about lies,” Greene continued. “The true reason they’re attacking George Santos is because he’s [is] first openly homosexual [non-incumbent] Republican elected and so they hate him for it.”
Greene is considered one of the few Republicans to talk out for Santos, as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is silent concerning the future legislator’s failings. The Post reported last week that Republican Party leaders within the House of Representatives were aware of Santos’ fabrications to the purpose that they became a “runaway joke.”
One other Long Island Republican congressman, Nick LaLota, called on the House Ethics Committee on Tuesday to analyze Santos for his false claims on the campaign trail, which also included boasting 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 he was “clearly Catholic” and claimed he meant to say he was “Jewish”.
On Tuesday night, Santos told Gabbard, who replaced regular Fox host Tucker Carlson, that “everyone desires to get him out” due to his inflated resume, ignoring the Democratic Party’s larger scams.
“Have a look at Joe Biden,” Santos said. “Joe Biden lied to the American people for 40 years. He’s the president of america. Democrats strongly support him. Have they no shame?”

Santos told The Post on Monday he was confident he would serve his entire two-year term despite the lies.
“I’m not a criminal,” he said. “That is not going to stop me from having good legislative successes. I can be effective. I will be good.”
