Merged NY Rep Santos (merged from GOP elected that guy in WW84 and GOP are liars)

To denote when two or more threads have been merged
Liar Santos re-election bid fails spectacularly.

....
Former U.S. Rep. George Santos on Tuesday said he is dropping his longshot bid to return to Congress, months after he was expelled from the House while facing a slew of federal fraud charges.

Santos, who was running as an independent candidate for the 1st Congressional District in New York, said he was withdrawing from the race in a post on the social media platform X.

The announcement came after the disgraced former congressman's campaign committee reported no fundraising or expenditures in March, raising speculation that his campaign had failed to get off the ground.
......

Awwwwwww! Too effing bad!

I wanted Scamtos to stay in the game. I seriously enjoyed the entertainment value. And he made the republicans look as bad as they actually are so now all we have is Mad Moscow Marge and her fellow Republican Crazies.
 
Santos pled guilty to 2 charges, will get minimum 2 years. Judge said 6 to 8 years likely.


“I deeply regret my conduct, I fully accept responsibility for my actions, and I understand my actions have betrayed the trust of my supporters," Santos said in court Monday.

He appeared to be choking back tears as he spoke to reporters outside the Alfonse M. D'Amato U.S. Courthouse in Central Islip afterward.

"I am dedicated to making amends for the wrongs I have committed," he said. "This plea is not just an admission of guilt. It's an acknowledgment I need to be held accountable like any other American that breaks the law."

...and then went on to plead for mercy because his mom died in 9/11 and the Holocaust?
 
He got 87 months.


Santos, who pleaded guilty last summer to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, appealed for mercy. In a federal court a short drive from his old congressional district, he said through tears that he was “humbled” and “chastised” and realized he had betrayed his constituents’ trust.

“I offer my deepest apologies,” he said, adding: “I cannot rewrite the past, but I can control the road ahead.”

U.S. District Court Judge Joanna Seybert evidently wasn’t convinced.

“Where is your remorse? Where do I see it?” she asked as she sentenced him to 87 months behind bars. “It’s always someone else’s fault.”
 
Apparently the prosecution was not impressed with the name of his podcast:

Prosecutors noted he'd recently launched a weekly podcast called "Pants on Fire with George Santos," which they called “a perfect crystallization of his lack of genuine contrition and his tone-deaf efforts to continue turning lies into dollars."

All those years as a Drag Queen have apparently turned him Tone Deaf.
 
If George had the $400m that Trump inherited, he would be the GQP heir apparent.
