George Santos writes for the South Shore Press: As I crossed the threshold of the dormitory and took my first steps into what would become my new reality, I caught a glimpse of myself in the small, scratched mirror held up by one of the inmates. That image—me, hollow-eyed, clad in state-issued polyester—hit me like a punch to the gut. The …

“Well, darlings… The curtain falls, the spotlight dims, and the rhinestones are packed. From the halls of Congress to the chaos of cable news what a ride it’s been! Was it messy? Always. Glamorous?

TUCKER CARLSON: “I know a million people that are going to prison. I know more people going to prison than most people, and I always ask everybody the same, like, you don’t think you deserve the sentence. You think you got screwed. In your case, I agree with you. If the system’s not going to be fair, then why do …

“I’m heading to prison, folks and I need you to hear this loud and clear: I’m not suicidal. I’m not depressed. I have no intentions of harming myself, and I will not willingly engage in any sexual activity while I’m in there. If anything comes out suggesting otherwise, consider it a lie…full stop. The statistics around what happens to gay men in …

“I want the country to know this: I was expelled because I supported a weak speaker to succeed McCarthy, and that week speaker allowed for me to be expelled because of political reasons and denied me DUE PROCESS! Now the same speaker is the one stonewalling my ability to get a pardon using the same excuses he used for my expulsion. …

“For those asking… Even though I initially considered the prospect of petitioning the president with a pardon application I have seized that approach as I will not spend the last 61 days I have of life scrambling on how to get past a bunch of guard dogs. The so called ‘friends’ I have that said they’d help legit should have …

“I’ll take a commutation, clemency, whatever the president is willing to give me. Seven years and three months in prison for a first-time offender over campaign matters just screams ‘over the top,’ and I would appreciate if the president would consider.
