The sentencing is in for former Republican Rep. George Santos.
Over seven years in prison!
And I think I know how this is going to go:
Santos, who pleaded guilty last summer to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, appealed for mercy, telling a court through tears that he was ‘humbled' and ‘chastised' and realized he had betrayed his constituents' trust.
‘I offer my deepest apologies,' he said, adding: ‘I cannot rewrite the past, but I can control the road ahead.'
U.S. District Court Judge Joanna Seybert evidently wasn't convinced.
The judge did not mince her words, saying, "Where is your remorse? Where do I see it? … It's always someone else's fault."
[Santos] admitted to deceiving donors and stealing the identities of nearly a dozen people, including his family members, to fund his winning campaign. As part of a plea deal, Santos has agreed to pay roughly $580,000 in penalties in addition to prison time.

You ever notice those guys in prison who have cornrows or braids?
Well, if you're wondering how those get done up, look no further than prisoners like George Santos, who will have a nice seven-year career as a hairstylist.
But don't worry: Something tells me the guy might enjoy it.
