‘Said they’d help’: Convicted liar George Santos finds out which MAGA ‘friends’ abandoned him during his ‘last 61 days’

George Santos is now discovering just how many of his so-called MAGA “friends” have left him out to dry. Spoiler alert: it’s practically everyone.

Santos, elected in 2022 as the first openly gay Republican nonincumbent to make it to Congress, quickly became a household name—not for his politics, mind you, but for his uncanny ability to fabricate just about everything about himself. His resume? Fake. His education? Fake. His career on Wall Street? Fake. He even claimed his mother died in the 9/11 attacks, which, spoiler alert, was also fake.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office slapped Santos with 23 felony charges, including wire fraud, identity theft, and campaign finance violations. Turns out, funneling donor money into personal expenses like designer goods and luxury trips is frowned upon—even in the wild west of modern American politics. After months of claiming the charges were part of a “witch hunt” and stubbornly clinging to his congressional seat, Santos was booted from the House in August. And now, he’s facing a seven-year prison sentence.

Santos once thought his connections in the MAGA universe would save him when the walls started closing in. After all, he had publicly aligned himself with Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, parroting their talking points and even appearing on conservative media to defend his, um, “version of the truth.”

But now? Crickets. Santos itted on social media that he’s given up hope of a last-minute rescue pardon from Trump. And why wouldn’t he? Trump, a man who’s handed out pardons to everyone from Steve Bannon to Joe Arpaio, has been eerily silent on Santos.

Even Santos’s bitter social media posts suggest he’s been ghosted by his supposed allies. In a moment of self-pity, he called out his “friends” for abandoning him, saying they should’ve just told him to “go f- himself.”

In court, Santos tried to play the remorse card, claiming to be “humbled” and “chastised.” But Judge Joanna Seybert wasn’t buying it. She called him out for his lack of genuine remorse, pointing out that he still hasn’t repaid his victims or surrendered any of his ill-gotten gains. The prosecutors, for their part, argued that Santos’s crimes were both egregious and unparalleled, painting a picture of a man who viewed donor funds as his personal piggy bank. As Santos prepares to spend the next seven years behind bars, he’s learning the hard way that loyalty in politics is a one-way street.
