American politician who served as the U.S. representative for New York’s 3rd congressional district from January to December 2023 George Santos is a Catholic.
Is George Santos Jewish or Catholic? The infamous ‘Jew-ish’ quote explained
George Santos has lied on different occasions about many things including his religion. He was raised a Catholic, but at various points in his career claimed to be “Jewish”; “Jew-ish”; “half Jewish”; a non-observant Jew; “a proud American Jew”; and a “Latino Jew”; at others points, he has described himself as a Catholic.
George Santos claimed his maternal grandfather grew up Jewish, converted to Catholicism before the Holocaust, and raised his children Catholic. Santos said “I’m Catholic” and that he was not “trying to claim Jewish heritage”, but also, “I believe we are all Jewish, at the end – because Jesus Christ is Jewish. And if you believe in Jesus, and we’re all brothers in Christ, I mean.”
