crooks stole his shoes

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) claims in a newly surfaced interview that he was mugged in broad daylight a block from Trump Tower in Manhattan — and the crooks even took the shoes off his feet.

Seeking to demonstrate the impact of rising crime, the newly elected Long Island lawmaker told a Brazilian podcast that he was attacked on Fifth Ave. and E. 55th St. on one of the city’s fanciest shopping strips in the summer of 2021.

“They robbed me, took my briefcase, took my shoes and my watch. And that was in broad daylight,” he said, speaking in his native Portuguese. “I was leaving my office, going to the garage, getting my car, and I was mugged.”

The interview, which was done after Santos won election to Congress in November, was unearthed by MSNBC.
