 Weepy fraudster George Santos begs Trump for pardon: ‘I’m not a hardened criminal’

George Santos grew weepy Thursday night while pleading for President Trump to pardon him from a seven-year prison sentence for defrauding campaign donors — with the lying ex-congressman acknowledging he is “not an altar boy.”

“I’ll take a commutation, clemency, whatever the president is willing to give me,” Santos said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” while adding he was “not entertaining a pardon” until recently.

“President Trump, I’d appreciate if you can give me a consideration,” the former Long Island pol said, choking back tears.

“I’m not an altar boy — but I’m not a hardened criminal.”

Last month, Central Islip federal Judge Joanna Seybert sentenced Santos, 36, to seven years and three months behind bars and ordered him to pay $373,000 after he pleaded guilty in August to charges of wire fraud and identity theft.

While running for Congress in 2022, the Republican candidate had defrauded dozens of donors — including some family members and friends — and later filed false campaign finance reports to juice his contribution figures.

No pardon right away.
Sorry, George, but if you did the crime, you should do at least some time.

I watched him when he was on Gutfeld.  Let me say, there is nothing "hardened" about him.  He's gonna be someone's g/f in the slammer.

He's gonna be someone's g/f in the slammer.

That's the sad truth of it.

Are you taking into consideration the prison he'll be sent to .... Or are you just excited about the prospect of posting the twitter link with the face blocked ra*pe?

Well they don't call it "Federal (pound me in the ass) Prison" for nothing.

Why the hell would I be excited about the prospect of rape? What a sick thing to say.

If him being in the slammer keeps him from ever being on Gutfeld again it’s probably the best thing that can happen, that giggly jiggly moron was so painful to watch I tuned out.

George Santos: ‘I’m not a hardened criminal’

He's actually a soft and pudgy criminal. Still a criminal. Still needs to spend some time in prison.

The bastard stole money from funds to help a disabled veteran's sick dog ... deport him and never let him back.

A white collar criminal is still a criminal.

Richard Osthoff said Santos, in 2016, raised $3,000 for life-saving surgery for his ailing dog Sapphire via a GoFundMe fundraiser, but never gave the money to Osthoff. ...
