Lies My U.S. Congressman Told Me

 

Every George Santos Lie .  .  .  To Date

George Santos is currently a sitting United States Congressional Representative from New York’s 3rd District. He is a member of the Republican Party and claims to be Jew-ISH. He seems to fit right in with today’s right-wing political party of disinformation and deception. Yes, George is a real trumper, a go-getter, a “fake-it-till-you-make-it” manipulator. He’s Tucker Carlson unhinged and Elizabeth Holmes unrepentent.

And if you’ve heard any of the easily exposed and utterly ridiculous lies told by George, you begin to understand not who he is but what he is. You see, George Santos is what you’d call a “Pathological Liar.“ He lies because he can’t control his impulse not to lie. Yes, he is a Compulsive Liar who knowingly lies. And his lies come in all shapes, sizes and colors. 

Let’s face it, politicians are known to coverup, mislead and/or fudge the facts when addressing voters. We just had a 45th U.S. President who was truly allergic to giving facts, resorting to alterrnative facts. But George here isn’t allergic to giving the facts, he’s just addicted to telling lie, after lie, after lie. And like the 45th President, George’s lies have led to his indictment on a number of charges.

“This indictment seeks to hold Santos accountable for various alleged fraudulent schemes and brazen misrepresentations,” stated United States Attorney Peace.  “Taken together, the allegations in the indictment charge Santos with relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself.  He used political contributions to line his pockets, unlawfully applied for unemployment benefits that should have gone to New Yorkers who had lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and lied to the House of Representatives.

I believe George, like the indicted 45th President, needs medical attention to address his mental health. 

Example: When George lied about his mother’s career as a pioneering female executive, he seemed trivial. When he lied she died in the World Trade Center south tower during the  9/11 terrorist attack, he seemed sick.

America has a known mental health crisis sitting in its congress. It goes by the assumed name of George Santos. His party and colleagues should seriously address conducting an intervention in efforts to get him into immediate treatment. 

Treatment for Pathological Lying

Treating this behavior is complicated. No medication will fix it. The best option is psychotherapy, but even that can pose challenges. That's because pathological liars may lie to their therapist instead of addressing their lying behavior.

Treatment will depend on what they need and what they respond to during therapy sessions. Finding a qualified, experienced therapist for the long term is key to managing this condition.‌

Suggest medical treatment. If the person who's lying seems distressed by their lies, you might suggest they get professional help. Therapy can help them confront the root of their lying and may lead to changed behavior.
