George Santos arrives to House for swearing-in ceremony without wedding band — or husband

Disgraced Long Island Rep.-elect George Santos showed up alone and not wearing a wedding ring to the US Capitol to be sworn in for his first day of work Tuesday morning, dodging a series of reporter questions about his heavily fabricated past.

As Santos walked through the halls of a House office building — clad in a blue sweater and business suit and wearing a black backpack — he remained tight-lipped as journalists peppered him with questions about whether he was fit to serve and the potential of a congressional ethics investigation.

Santos only spoke to confirm that he would vote for Rep. Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House as the California Republican struggled to cement control over his caucus. The incoming rep told the truth about that – as he stood up and said McCarthy’s last name when called upon to vote on each ballot.

The 34-year-old Santos — who was spotted by The Post moving belongings and a pair of dogs into his sister’s Elmhurst apartment last week — claims to be married to a man but has not been seen with his supposed husband since the scandal over his background broke last month.

The absence of Santos’ husband was conspicuous on the opening day of the 118th Congress since married lawmakers typically invite their family members along to Washington to watch them be sworn in.

Santos was later pictured sitting in the House chamber by himself without any adornment on his left ring finger. He had been pictured wearing the ring while addressing the Republican Jewish Coalition Nov. 19 — but had not worn it two days after his election victory.

The openly gay Republican, who was once married to a woman, admitted to The Post last week that he lied about almost every important detail on his resume, including claims he worked for major investment banks, owned more than a dozen properties, and attended and graduated from college.

Santos also falsely described himself during the campaign as a “proud American Jew” — and claimed on his official website that his maternal grandparents escaped Nazi persecution in Europe. Last year, Santos also blamed his mother’s 2016 death on the 9/11 terror attacks without evidence.

The lying legislator-to-be, who even went so far as criminal fraud case against him in Brazil was also reportedly set to be reopened.

Santos has so far resisted growing calls for his resignation both in his district and among his fellow lawmakers in DC.

In the meantime, Santos has become a curiosity, with Aaron Fritschner, chief of staff for Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), posting a picture of the Republican’s new office on Twitter.

“You know, I came into today expecting the unexpected,” Fritschner tweeted, “but I was not even slightly prepared to learn who our new neighbor is.”

“True story,” Fritschner added, “when we moved in next door six years ago this office, 1117, was occupied by Rep. Chris Collins, a New York Republican who was subsequently indicted, arrested, and convicted of fraud and lying to the FBI.”

South Bronx Democratic Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) was harsher in his assessment of Santos, telling The Post that he “has no business showing up.

“He should resign,” Torres added. “It diminishes Congress to have him as part of the institution. I would certainly vote to expel him because his conduct is unbecoming of a congressman.”
