It’s no secret that George Santos has been a walking punchline in American politics for over a year now. But now, the joke is officially over. The disgraced former congressman from New York has traded in his suits for prison garb, beginning a seven-year sentence for fraud and identity theft. And wouldn’t you know it, Marjorie Taylor Greene is in her feelings about it.
In the world of Greene, Santos is the victim here. Yes, the same Santos who fabricated everything from his educational background to his employment history and even claimed his mother died in the 9/11 attacks — despite verifiable evidence to the contrary. Greene took to social media to bemoan his punishment, arguing that Santos shouldn’t have been expelled from Congress and certainly didn’t deserve seven years in prison. Her reasoning? Something about Jeffrey Epstein, elite corruption, and how the justice system is inherently unfair.
