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. I completely agree.George Santos serving 7 years while the elite get away with everything or hardly face justice.Convicted pedophile Epstein got 13 months, and his rich powerful accomplices walk free still unexposed.George doesn’t deserve 7 years in prison. He didn’t… https://t.co/5Hy0XaYGDw— Marjorie Taylor Greene (@mtgreenee) July 26, 2025 Yes, Epstein’s case exposed glaring issues of privilege and power in the justice system, but that doesn’t magically erase Santos’s crimes. He used stolen identities to make fraudulent campaign contributions, allowing him to inflate his donor numbers and mislead the public about his support base. He also convinced donors to open their wallets for what they thought was a legitimate campaign, only to funnel that money into personal expenses. He fabricated nearly every aspect of his life, from claiming Jewish heritage to inventing a career at prestigious financial firms. At one point, he even pretended to be a volleyball star. A volleyball star! If this were a fictional character, critics would call him too unrealistic. His web of deceit eventually unraveled, and he became a national embarrassment for his party. He was expelled from Congress in December 2023, making him only the sixth member of the House ever to face such a fate. The bipartisan vote underscored just how toxic Santos had become; even his own colleagues couldn’t stand by him anymore. As for Greene, her defense of Santos is unlikely to win her any new fans. If anything, it underscores just how out of touch she’s become. While most Americans are relieved to see Santos held accountable, Greene is busy fighting a battle no one asked her to fight. But hey, at least she’s consistent. In her world, chaos is always the main character.
