George Santos begs Trump for pardon after judge handed down 7-year sentence

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Though Santos has publicly emphasized his LGBTQ+ identity, his voting record and political alignment placed him squarely with the far-right wing of the Republican Party.
46% : In one of his first acts back in office, Trump issued blanket clemency for nearly all January 6 defendants.
44% : While Santos expressed remorse in a letter to the judge before sentencing, saying, "This is mine to deal with and mine alone," he quickly returned to public self-promotion.
27% : "I believe that 7 years is an over the top politically influenced sentence," Santos wrote in a 9:28 p.m. post Friday which he called the "hardest statement I have ever written," adding, "I implore that President Trump gives me a chance to prove I'm more than the mistakes I've made.
27% : " Santos's Friday pardon request came after Trump issued a full and unconditional pardon to Michele Fiore, a former Las Vegas City Council member convicted of using funds meant for a slain police officer's memorial for cosmetic surgery, rent, and her daughter's wedding.
