...but George Santos certainly SOUNDS like Fred Brito.
After being caught lying about his resume about his employment history and college education, the recently elected Republican congressman is playing the victim card, and using other Fred Brito-ish tactics such as downplaying numerous embellishments on his resume saying doing so is not criminal, and saying "a lot of people overstate in their resumes".
While certainly not as brazen as Brito, Santos did use the dead mother excuse for not responding to these stories in due time... he claimed he was recognizing the sixth anniversary of his mother's death. (Brito once listed on his resume that he was taking care of his elderly parents, even though they had passed away years prior).
