George Santos Has Truly WTF Response To Kevin Spacey's Call To Release Epstein Files
Actor Kevin Spacey asked on Tuesday that the Epstein files be released because 'the truth can't come soon enough,' and former lawmaker George Santos felt obliged to offer his two cents. Spacey took to X and publicly asked someone, anyone, to 'release the Epstein files. All of them. For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can't come soon enough.' He added, 'I hate to make this about me — but the media already has.' Although Spacey's name does appear in unsealed documents related to the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein, he hasn't been accused of helping facilitate Epstein's alleged child sex trafficking ring. The actor was accused of molesting a then-14-year-old actor in 1986, but he was found not liable by a New York jury in 2022. Spacey was also acquitted in London in 2023 on nine charges of sexual assault involving four theater actors. Release the Epstein files. All of them. For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can't come soon enough. I hate to make this about me — but the media already has. — Kevin Spacey (@KevinSpacey) July 15, 2025 For some reason, Santos, a former U.S. representative now preparing to serve a seven-year sentence for federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, felt obliged to comment on Spacey's post. The former Republican lawmaker also used a homophobic slur in referring to Spacey, even though Santos is himself openly gay. Says the sexual predator!Sit the fuck down homo! 🙄💅🏻 — George Santos (@MrSantosNY) July 15, 2025 Many people on social media were shocked and confused by Santos' vitriol. One person advised the convicted former representative, 'You should probably sit this one out!' Uhmmmm sir, only one of you is a convicted felon who's going to prison, and it wasn't the award winning actor. You should probably sit this one out! — This oughta be good!! (@Djlfjr) July 15, 2025 Wow. The most savage post ever. Homo 😂 — Tom Schooley (@schooleyD) July 15, 2025 — Asclepius (@Beansthecat_) July 15, 2025 Santos is a man on the edge. Nothing left to lose. I love it! Only up from here buddy. — Raemi Eagle-Glenn (@RaemiEagle) July 15, 2025 Bro didn't you lie about like 22 things, get caught immediately, and promptly removed? — Matt (@RbiTriples) July 15, 2025 Kevin Spacey Says Release Epstein Files: 'Nothing To Fear' Trump Says Comey, Biden And Obama 'Made Up' The Epstein Files Congressman Writes Song, 'Release The Epstein Files,' And, Yeah, It's Cringe CNN Host Swats Down Republican's Epstein 'Nonsense' Talk With Searing Reality Check

Another imposter scam hits Capitol Hill
Someone using an outdated cellphone number belonging to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford (R-Arkansas) contacted at least one current and one former member of Congress seeking help with a purported project related to first lady Melania Trump. The impostor contacted to Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Missouri) and disgraced New York GOP congressman George Santos via the popular messaging app Telegram and directed them to install a special 'Phoner App' so more information could be shared with them about the alleged project, according to both Burlison and Santos.

George Santos tells Tucker Carlson he's not sure he'll survive prison
George Santos, the former New York lawmaker who was sentenced to prison for fraud and identity theft, told Tucker Carlson he fears he will not make it out. 'I don't know that I'll survive it. They're putting me in a violent prison,' said Santos on the latest 'Tucker Carlson Show' episode, released Friday. 'I'm not a streetwise guy, I don't know how to fight.' Santos was sentenced to more than seven years in prison. He was charged with 23 counts of fraud related to wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and making false statements, to which he pleaded guilty in August 2024. He must report to prison by July 25. 'I don't know that I survived this. I am — this could be very much my last interview, and I'm not trying to be overdramatic here. I'm just being honest with you. I look at this as practically a death sentence to what could occur to me,' he continues in the interview. He expressed fears over his prison sentence on X on July 9, saying that if he dies in prison, he does not want people to think it's a suicide. 'I'm heading to prison; folks and I need you to hear this loud and clear: I'm not suicidal. I'm not depressed. I have no intentions of harming myself, and I will not willingly engage in any sexual activity while I'm in there. If anything comes out suggesting otherwise, consider it a lie…full stop.' 'The statistics around what happens to gay men in BOP custody are horrifying, and that's exactly why I'm putting this out there now. So if something does happen, there's no confusion. I did NOT kill myself.' Santos also called the ethics report that got him expelled from the House a 'political hit piece' and denounced what he called a lack of no due process before being kicked out. Santos became the first gay Republican candidate to win a House seat as a non-incumbent in 2022. A couple of days after he won, reports appeared that he lied about his past professional experiences. Those snowballed into allegations of credit and campaign fraud, as well as identity theft. He was expelled from the House in December 2023, after a third such vote, which followed the damning ethics report.

George Santos sends warning message before heading to prison
Former New York Republican George Santos is sending a clear message in case something tragic happens while he's in the clink. 'I'm heading to prison, folks, and I need you to hear this loud and clear: I have no intentions of harming myself,' the ex-congressman wrote in a bizarre post on X . Santos was ordered by a New York court to surrender by July 25. 'I have no intentions of harming myself, and I will not willingly engage in any sexual activity while I'm in there. If anything comes out suggesting otherwise, consider it a lie…full stop,' the statement continued. The fabulist Long Islander who served for under a year before being expelled from the Capitol by his colleagues was found guilty of identity theft and fraud this year. Santos, 36, assumed office in January 2023, becoming the first openly gay Republican to be elected. He was expelled later that year after lies he told about himself to get elected began to unfurl. Prosecutors presented evidence of Santos spending political donations on Botox, designer clothes, casino holidays, and OnlyFans fees. He was also ordered to pay at least $373,749.97 in restitution and forfeit over $200,000, according to a plea agreement he made last year. Santos's message ended with a chilling warning. 'The statistics around what happens to gay men in BOP custody are horrifying, and that's exactly why I'm putting this out there now. So if something does happen, there's no confusion. I did NOT kill myself.' In another post, the ex-lawmaker shared he received his prison orders. 'Today I learned my prison designation, I learned my restrictions and I learned what is ahead,' he wrote Thursday. In yet another post about his sentence, Santos blamed a handful of lawmakers for keeping him from receiving clemency. Santos claimed he was told its not Speaker Mike Johnson or Trump keeping him from a deal 'it's Nick LaLota, Andrew Garbarino, Nicole Malliotakis, Nick Langworthy, Max Miller, and Mike Lawler,' the former Republican wrote. 'And there you have it, folks — the 'righteous saints' working overtime to keep me from a fair shake.' The former lawmaker's lies were numerous and spanned his education, work and family life. He lied about being an outstanding college volleyball player and coming from a wealthy heir to a real estate empire. It was also reported that he had a drag queen alter ego named Kitara, and images surfaced of the what appeared to be the lawmaker in a dress and wig. Santos originally denied it was him. However, he later admitted it was him and soon after being expelled from Congress he began a gig on Cameo and brought out Kitara once more for content. Santos railed against the prosecutors in his case and accused on X the Department of Justice of being a 'cabal of pedophiles.' At his sentencing the judge noted how Santos appeared unrepentant for his actions and crimes. Last month as tensions flared between the U.S. and Iran santos broke his silence for the first time since he was sentenced to over seven years in prison for wire fraud and identity theft . 'Hey folks its been real, and its also been a minute,' the convicted former congressman says in a selfie video posted on X. 'I'm kind of here just because I needed to stand by President Trump for this, because it's important to me.' Santos shared in the video that he learned from the Iranian community in the new York district he used to represent all about the country's revolution and the overthrow of the shah in 1979.

It's time to allow Iranians to be free again and to eliminate the threat of nuclear terror in the Middle East.'
