CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — Disgraced former U.S. Rep. George Santos, who lied about his life story and defrauded donors, was sentenced Friday to over seven years in prison, sobbing as he heard his punishment.

The New York Republican, who served in Congress for barely a year before his House colleagues ousted him in 2023, pleaded guilty last summer to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

He admitted to deceiving donors and stealing the identities of nearly a dozen people, including his family members, to fund his winning campaign. As part of a plea deal, Santos has agreed to pay roughly $580,000 in penalties in addition to prison time.

Only DemonRATS are authorized to defraud donors and lie about their “life stories.” Santos should have known that.

He should have killed somebody. He’d be on parole right now.

Democrats counted on law and order being dead because lawfare and keeping him off the ballots would sink Trump and elevate the woke takeover extending into decades ahead.

George Santos' actions pale in comparison to the DemonRats MASSIVE MONEY LAUNDERING MACHINE of foreign dollars into DemonRat campaigns CALLED "ACTBLUE". Where are THOSE ARRESTS?

Precisely. Saw his last appearance. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up on end.

It is too bad he did not immediately start identifying as a Democrat or a RINO.

What a moron.

Hey, give Santos some credit. He is able to decipher different personalities at different times while Biden can’t handle one he should have known about and practiced many years ago.

He’s a liar and a fool, but he’s likable in a goofball sort of way. I feel sorry for him, but he is quietly as charged, and this time, he can’t Houdini his way out of the consequences.
