George Santos Called Biden A Liar, And Guess How Twitter Users Responded
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
It’s been evident for months that Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) is “truth-challenged,” but his sense of irony doesn’t appear to be all that great either.
On Friday, Santos posted a tweet accusing President Joe Biden of lying, even though he’s probably not the guy best suited to deliver that particular critique.
Santos’ tweet started by attacking Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guard member accused of leaking documents pertaining to the Ukraine war. Then, mid-tweet, Santos pivoted to some anti-Biden red meat for the base.
“Jake Teixeira’s actions irreparably compromised National Security & he must be held accountable,” Santos wrote. “Biden has lied to the American people for 40+ years costing us lives & tax payer dollars. Biden has FAILED to protect American interests here or abroad without accountability.”

It’s certainly within Santos’ rights to critique the president. But one has to wonder how much the criticism will sting Biden, coming as it does from a person who falsely claimed he went to an elite New York private school, got a master’s degree in business and worked at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.
Not surprisingly, many Twitter users mocked the congressman’s tweet.
George left his comments on and he wants to talk about lying and accountability. 🤪🤡 https://t.co/lCpzwpLsxd

George Santos is upset because he thinks somebody lied.
To be Republican today means to be oblivious to hypocrisy. https://t.co/vkeEK8YGQN— Peter L Путин хуйло (@PL67712441) April 14, 2023
In response to one person’s pointed tweet, Santos doubled down on his Biden-bashing.
Right - Joe Biden is the liar here. Not you.

Joe’s been lying since before I was born.

Of course, that only inspired new heights of snarky comments.
That's rich coming from a guy who lied about where and when he was born (among other things).

I remember when you were born , held high above the African kingdom for all to see . “I just Can’t wait to be King” was your best song.

Which is impressive, since you were a commanding officer on the beaches of Normandy!

To be fair, you have crammed more than entire lifetime of lies into one bid for election.
