Lying Liar Jr.'s List of Lying Lies:

2. Claimed he graduated New York University, who also have no record of his attendance.
3. Claimed his parents sent him to Horace Mann prep school in the Bronx, who ... well, you know.
4. Claimed he was a volleyball star in college and "slayed" both Harvard and Yale teams.  Baruch doesn't play against either one.  This claim appears to have been cribbed directly from the resume of his former boss at LinkBridge Investors, Pablo Oliviera, who _was_ an All-American volleyball player at Baruch, where he also graduated.
5. Claimed he "sacrificed" both of his knees and got two "very nice" replacements because of his Volleyball days.

7. Claimed he was both Jewish and Ukrainian with the historical family name Zabrovsky.

16. Claimed he was robbed of his rent money
17. Claimed 9/11 claimed his mother's life.  The mother who died in 2016
18. Lied about his campaign finances
19. Campaign staffers impersonated McQarthy staffers to elicit campaign donations
20. Claimed he was one of the first in the US to get COVID
21. Claimed to have voted on House bills dated before he was even sworn in
22. Claimed his grandmother was a holocaust survivor
23. Claimed he had employees who died in the Pulse shooting
24. Set up a company called DeVolder Organization, supposedly the source of his wealth, whose address was a closed medical office.  The address was changed to a PO box at a Mailboxes Etc.
25. Raised $3,000 in a GoFundMe (as Anthony DeVolder) to help a disabled, homeless vet's dog have a tumour removed. Kept the money, let the dog die.
26. Claims his mom, Fatima DeVolder, worked at the World Trade Center on 9/11.  Records show she wasn't even in the country at the time, and hadn't been since 1999; she didn't even apply for a US visa until 2003.
27. Denies being a drag queen pseudonymed "Kitara Ravache" in Brazil, though Brazilian drag queen Eula Rochard says she knew him personally as "Anthony DeVolder" and "Kitara."
28. Claimed he didn't have the money for his mother's funeral and petitioned Father Jose Carlos da Silva of Saint Rita's Catholic Church in Long Island City to help cover her funeral expenses.  A collection plate was passed for this purpose.  It is unknown how much was raised.  After the funeral he went skiing in the Poconos.  With the money he raised.
29. Started a GoFundMe (as Anthony DeVolder on behalf of Anthony D. Santos, as listed on the GoFundMe page) to also raise thousands for his mother's funeral expenses.  In case it wasn't obvious, Anthony D. Santos and Anthony DeVolder are both George.
30. Claimed on the Loud Majority show that he has had a "very extensive role in gas and oil in this country" and helped develop carbon capture technology thanks to his "many" trips to Moscow.
31. Claims he's 6'2", but photos show he's barely taller than Matt Gaetz, who's 5'7".
32. Claimed on the Brazilian podcast "Rádio Novelo Apresenta" that he was the victim of an assassination attempt.
33. Claimed on the same podcast that his Florida home was vandalized because of his political affiliation.
34. Claimed on the same podcast that he was mugged of his briefcase, watch, and shoes on 5th Ave. at 3pm after leaving his office with his purported husband that doesn't exist by two men who "weren't black, they were even white".

37. Even further claimed in his bio on that Twitter account that worked as a drag queen from age 17 and won several gay beauty pageants.

Well, she did survive. That was true.

He falsely claimed he attended Baruch College on a volleyball scholarship and "got very nice knee replacements," later admitting having to admit he had "embellished" his resume...

Bet he doesn't even have knees, just a couple of Home Depot strap hinges attached to his legs with packing tape, or whatever kind of tape is the worst kind of tape.

People who can't keep friends for long and have to constantly make new ones to believe their lies.

And as a follow-up, it's not like we see anyone from his past showing up to defend him. Usually there's some back and forth for political figures, some people from your history talking about all the dumb shiat you've pulled, some people claiming you're an angel.

No, this is just one-sided, apparently everyone who ever knew him absolutely detests him.

The three basic rules of lying:

Only lie when necessary
Be as general and unspecific as possible
Do not tell easily disproven lies

This schmuck is worse at lying than Dump, and that's really saying something.

I have no doubt that in the Ancient Days he would've been a fantastic raconteur around the fire at night. He'd also have known better than to try and take a leadership position and the tribe's chief would never have offered.
