U.S. Navy veteran Richard Osthoff brought to the interview the cremated remains of his dog, Sapphire, who died in 2017.
Osthoff, who appeared alongside New Jersey Veterans Network President Michael Boll, brought to the interview the cremated remains of his dog, Sapphire, who died in 2017. “I had to bring her,” he said, touching a wooden urn. “That’s my baby, right there. It’s all I have left of her.”
After some apparent hang-ups along the way, Boll said he spoke with Santos, who “was not listening to what I was saying,” as he put it. When CNN anchor Erin Burnett asked Osthoff at what point did he identify Santos as the person allegedly behind the bait-and-switch, he said he made the connection “a week ago.”
“That was in December right around Christmas time,” he continued. “Just about a week ago, he was in the Capitol and there were a bunch of reporters following him around asking questions…and one of them said, ‘What’s your name today? Is it Anthony Devolder or is it George Santos?’”
