George Santos accused of weeping ‘crocodile tears' by Navy vet who claimed ex-pol stole thousands from his dying dog
George Santos was weeping 'crocodile tears' at his sentencing, a Navy veteran who previously accused the lyin' ex-pol of stealing thousands meant for his sick dog claimed on Friday. Disabled, formerly homeless vet Richard Osthoff showed up to federal court in Central Islip to see his nemesis get hit with a hefty prison sentence — even after he turned on the water works for the judge. Osthoff rushed Santos' car as he exited the courthouse. Richard Osthoff/Facebook Advertisement 'That wasn't real. He's not remorseful. He's crying because he knows that he's getting bitten on the ass and he's gotta go away now,' Osthoff said, adding bitterly, 'Have fun, George.' Osthoff – who claimed Santos helped him launch a GoFundMe to help his dog and then swindled him out of $3,000 raised – accused the wayward, openly-gay ex-Long Island Republican of putting on an emotional show in a bid to get a more lenient sentence. Santos was sentenced to more than 7 years in prison. Brigitte Stelzer Advertisement But the judge didn't buy it, slapping Santos with seven years and three months behind bars following his guilty plea to scamming donors to fund his 2022 winning campaign, lying about his wealth to Congress and collecting unemployment while he was actually working. Osthoff said he was glad to see Santos finally get his comeuppance. 'It made me feel really, really good to see something finally happened to this guy,' he said. 'That just reminded me of when my dog died because of his deceit and deception, how I felt,' Osthoff said. 'I was on my knees blubbering in the shower. So it was good to see that, It really was.' Advertisement As Santos rushed out of the courthouse, dashing away in a car without answering reporters' questions, Osthoff rushed the car yelling, 'F–k you, you killed my dog!' The veteran says he plans to sue Santos for defamation and the $3,000 that Santos allegedly made off with after ghosting Osthoff.
