George Santos Heads to Prison With a Dramatic Sign-Off
Briefly

George Santos is preparing to report to federal prison to serve a more than seven-year sentence due to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Just before his sentencing, he reflected on his turbulent Congressional career, indicating it was messy, occasionally glamorous, and mostly honest. He thanked both supporters and critics in a farewell post, expressing appreciation for the support he received and acknowledging the role of criticism in garnering media attention. Santos dramati zed the end of his political journey using a Frank Sinatra song.
To my supporters: You made this wild political cabaret worth it. To my critics: Thanks for the free press. I may be leaving the stage (for now), but trust me legends never truly exit.
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? Occasionally. Honest? I tried... most days.
