Empty Green says: correct a "grave injustice" and commute George Santos' prison sentence

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene officially urges Trump to commute George Santos’s prison sentence (The Advocate)

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday formally urged President Donald Trump to commute the prison sentence of former Republican congressman George Santos, calling his 87-month term a “grave injustice” and an example of unequal treatment under the law.

In a letter to the Office of the Pardon Attorney, Greene wrote that Santos’s sentence for wire fraud and identity theft “extends far beyond what is warranted” and framed his conduct as campaign-related, despite extensive findings from federal prosecutors. “While his crimes warrant punishment,” Greene wrote, “many of my colleagues who I serve with have committed far worse offenses than Mr. Santos yet have faced zero criminal charges.” She provided no evidence for that claim.

Using my southern slang cause I'm about ready to say something bad about her. Miss attention hog is lost in the wilderness of "nobodies paying attention to me anymore" as tears roll down her cheeks. She is so use to sapping up all the attention with her idiotic, unintelligent, stupid(different from unintelligent) blatherings and is now lost in a wilderness of narcissistic loneliness. Trump is sucking up all the vileness and none is left for her. She keeps trying to get her top spot back but can't find anything that tops trump's outrageousness. So bless her heart, its a sad day for MTG that this is all she's got. And excuse any poor punctuation or misspelled words as I was taught in southern schools. I do know better now but am too lazy this morning to put on my thinking cap.
