I know that was a big issue for MTG...perhaps this is an effort on his part to patch things up?

Because Dem Presidents thought commuting his sentence would be toxic.

George Santos has done absolutely zero to merit pardon or commutation of his sentence. He was an outright con artist and thief.

Next Dem Prez (if there ever is one) needs to be playing Nas' "If I Ruled the World" at the damn convention:

I'd free all my sons...

Don't know why they would allow him to be out in public as a reminder of George Santos.
