"It's completely nuts, but he's completely nuts, said Conway. And so is Santos. Maybe that's the thing that joins them all together. Look, under any normal pardon or commutation system, this guy is not eligible. He committed flat-out fraud. There was no question about his guilt. At the end of the day, he shows no remorse, no acceptance of responsibility. There is no reason to give him a break on his sentence, continued Conway."
"Santos was sentenced in April to 87 months in prison after he was convicted of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Prosecutors said he deceived campaign donors, stole the identities of others including family members to funnel money into his 2022 congressional campaign, and fabricated major parts of his personal and professional background to gain political support. Watch the clip above via MSNBC."
George Conway criticized President Donald Trump's commutation of former Congressman George Santos' prison sentence, calling both Trump and Santos 'completely nuts' and suggesting a shared affinity. Trump posted on Truth Social praising Santos' loyalty to the Republican Party. Conway argued that Santos was ineligible for a commutation because he committed blatant fraud, showed no remorse, and accepted no responsibility. Conway noted that Republicans did not favor Santos. Santos received an 87-month sentence after convictions for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft and was accused of deceiving donors, stealing identities, and fabricating his background to gain support.
