Truth-challenged gay former Republican Rep. George Santos (NY) has been sentenced to 87 months in prison after pleading guilty to felony charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft last August. Neither the federal prosecutors nor Judge Seybert had any sympathy for the fabulist who continued with his pugnacious social media posts where he showed little to no remorse for his crimes.

From the New York Times:
Standing before Judge Joanna Seybert in Federal District Court in Central Islip, N.Y., a hushed Mr. Santos, 36, seemed far removed from the swaggering lawmaker whose lies — that he was a college volleyball star and a Wall Street financier with ties to the Holocaust and Sept. 11, to name a few — turned him into a national punchline and led to mocking impersonations on “Saturday Night Live.”
Mr. Santos’s campaign was built on a spectacular array of lies that would be exposed before he even took office. He claimed to be a descendant of Holocaust refugees. His mother, he said, was in the World Trade Center during the Sept. 11 attacks.
And he boasted of extensive experience at Wall Street firms that allowed him to report loaning his campaign hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In 2016, Santos reportedly setup a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for a disabled veteran’s service dog. Over $3,000 was raised but Santos took the money and ghosted on the veteran and his dog. Over 100 Republicans joined Democrats in expelling the serial liar from Congress in December 2023 after an ethics investigation found he’d spent campaign funds on high-end designer fashion, Botox, and OnlyFans accounts. The judge ruled he must surrender by July 25 You can find my extensive reports on the serial liar here. Click play below for a clever little ditty about serial-lying Santos.
