George Santos, Who Falsely Claimed His Grandparents Fled Hitler, Reportedly Joked About Killing “Jews and Blacks”

Considered one of George Santos’s greatest and most offensive lies was the one he informed, on a number of events, about having grandparents who’d needed to run for his or her lives through the Holocaust. In 2021, the then candidate claimed in a campaign video that his “grandparents survived the Holocaust.” A number of months later, he informed the Jewish Information Syndicate: “I’m very pleased with my grandparents’ story,” which he mentioned included “fleeing Hitler.” Maybe laying the groundwork for his rationalization within the occasion he obtained caught on this particular fabrication, he told Fox Information Digital in February: “For lots of people who’re descendants of World Struggle II refugees or survivors of the Holocaust, lots of names and paperwork had been modified in identify of survival.”

Like so many issues which have come out of Santos’s mouth, the one about his grandparents and the Holocaust doesn’t, in truth, look like true, as a number of family tree data point out his grandparents had been born in Brazil and, based on one genealogist who spoke to CNN, “There’s no signal of Jewish and/or Ukrainian heritage and no indication of identify modifications alongside the best way.” Maybe one other signal that Santos doesn’t have relations who had been hunted by Adolf Hitler? His alleged willingness to joke about Hitler killing Jews, and Black folks too.

Patch reviews that in March 2011, Santos commented on a Fb photograph shared by a buddy exhibiting “somebody making what seems to be a army salute with the caption ‘one thing like Hitler’.” Commenting under, Santos allegedly wrote: “hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh hiiiiiiiiiiiitlerrrrrrrrrrr (hight hitler) lolololololololololololol sombody kill her!! the jews and black principally lolllolol!!! Dum” A former buddy informed the outlet they recalled seeing the offensive remark, took a screenshot and despatched it alongside. Patch says it additionally “verified by one other former buddy, Gregory Morey-Parker, that the unique Fb put up below which Santos wrote the Hitler remark existed.” Presumably that won’t be the case for very lengthy. Morey-Parker, who was additionally as soon as roommates with Santos, additionally informed Patch that the newly-sworn in congressman would frequently make offensive jokes, usually about paying the invoice for meals, “however he brushed it off saying he was Jewish. He’d all the time say that it was okay for him to make these jokes as a result of he was Jewish,” Morey-Parker recalled. (Santos has copped to the truth that he isn’t really Jewish, by insisting he by no means mentioned he was. “I by no means claimed to be Jewish,” he mentioned in an interview with the New York Put up shortly after lots of his lies initially got here to gentle. “I’m Catholic. As a result of I discovered my maternal household had a Jewish background I mentioned I used to be ‘Jew-ish.’”)

In an e mail, Santos’s legal professional claimed to Patch that the remark was by some means pretend, writing: “the Fb remark that you just reference…is totally false, completely disgusting — There’s completely nothing to speak about.”
