So now the Long Island Republican is facing a familiar question: Did those things really happen? Or is it more falsehoods ?
But now it's Rep. Santos in the spotlight. On Rachel Maddow's show Monday night, there was new video of a Brazilian podcast Santos recorded in December. In Portuguese, he first claimed there was an attempt on his life. During the same podcast, he claimed muggers attacked him in Aug. 2021 in the heart of midtown, on Fifth Avenue and 55th Street, in the middle of the day.
"I’m not attending, didn’t have the time. Not on my schedule, sorry," Santos said, adding that he will be doing"constituent services" instead. He did not explain what services prevented him from attending an event with the president, and his communications director did not respond to emails or calls requesting comment.
