Reply to comment by BasedTunechi in Rep.-elect George Santos lied about attending prestigious NYC prep school Horace Mann: report by PichuLovy

Yeah what a bizarre lie.

For one, tuition at Horace Mann is way more than $2,500 as he says according to the article. More like $40-50k back in 2008.

And did this actually score him any points? Would his constituents really care?

Why did he say he lost employees in the Pulse Nightclub shooting, or that his mother survived 9/11?? None of it seems rational or well thought out. It seems that he lied pathologically to gain prestige and sympathy--constantly presenting himself as either someone who came from an elite background, or as a victim.
