Jimmy Fallon Observes That George Santos Was Accused of Identity Theft In Real Time On TV
“The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon on Friday chimed in on the scandals engulfing Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), who fabricated multiple details about his background to win election to Congress in the November midterms ― and is now under investigation over his campaign donors and contributions.
Fallon unearthed footage from a live TV debate that Santos had with Democratic rival Robert Zimmerman on CBS New York’s “The Point with Marcia Kramer” in October, when the candidates were asked to name Favorite family traditions
Zimmerman spoke first about his family’s holiday movie watching in sweats and eating Haagen Dazs ice cream.
Santos, a state and local Republican who are now asking for Congress’ resignation, gave an eerily similar response.
“Every moment we can get together .. that’s sweat pants, pints of Haagen-Dazs all over the place,” he said.
Fallon couldn’t believe it.
“That’s for real,” the late night host said about the video, cracking: I’ve never seen identity theft happen in real-time.”
