Republican fabulist George Santos' ex-roommate claims he had 'delusions of grandeur'

 A man who shared a New York apartment with George Santos says the newly elected Republican would flash wads of cash and made claims of 'generational wealth' that didn't add up.

'He would just go to bars with just rolls of hundred dollar bills, and three days later he would have no money,' said Gregory Morey-Parker, who moved in for a few months with Santos after losing his own Queens apartment.

He described Santos, who went by the name Anthony Devolder at the time, as having 'just delusions of grandeur.'

'He would constantly be saying, oh well, I'm going to sell my phone, do you know anybody who wants to buy it? And you know, I'm like why are you selling it? And he's like oh, don't worry about it,' he said Santos responded.

The allegations came in a week where a disabled homeless veteran accused Santos of stealing $3,000 from a GoFundMe campaign meant to get an operation for his sick dog, and after the House GOP Steering Committee decided to award Santos seats on the House Small Business and Science, Space and Technology committees.  

Rep. George Santos' former roommate says the New York lawmaker had 'delusions of grandeur,' and would head to the bar with 'rolls of hundred dollar bills'

'And it is just things just started continuously spiraling, getting, like, kind of ridiculously crazy,' the roommate told CNN. His mother was a housekeeper, in Manhattan, and it just didn't seem feasible for him supposedly to come from all this generational wealth, if you will. Why are you doing the things that you're doing? it doesn't make sense to me,' he said.

Morey-Parker called it an 'interesting few months.' He said he has 'always known him as Anthony Devolder.' 

The roommate says he 'kind of assumed' that Santos 'made up' attending Baruch College and NYU – schools that after his win in a House seat picked up from a Democrat said he did not attend. 

Morey-Parker claims Santos, who used the name Anthony Devolder, took his Burberry scarf

'But then I thought, well maybe I was wrong, you know, after the election because I’m sure the DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) and RNC (Republican National Committee) would’ve investigated him and at least his opponent would have done some oppo (opposition) research.” 

Several New York Republican lawmakers have called on Santos to resign. He now faces a likely House Ethics committee probe and federal and local investigations after admitting to a series of false claims about his professional life, his education, his faith, and his biography.

Morey-Parker also accuses Santos of stealing his Burberry scarf and wearing at a January 5, 2021 'Stop the Steal' rally where he spoke.

He told the local news site Patch that he was '100 per cent certain' the scarf, which went missing, was the one that had been given to him as a gift. 

'If you're from New York, you know what they did to me. They did to me what they did to Donald Trump. They stole my election,' he said at the 2021 rally in DC's Freedom Plaza, speaking of his loss to Democrat Tom Suozzi.

'For 14 days I was congressman-elect of the 3rd Congressional District of New York — the first ever biggest upset for a Republican in New York City,' he said. DailyMail.com has reached out to Santos' office for a response.
