Well, that’s a relief (says no one): Expelled Republican Representative George Santos<\/a><\/strong> is back on X. Explaining his absence, Santos posted he’s recovering from a bad case of pneumonia after “a week really from hell.”<\/p>\n

These days, Santos writes the “Raw George,” a column for The South Shore Press<\/em>. Based on that X post alone, Santos buried the lede, as we like to say in journalism, because “week from hell” is an understatement. On Aug. 19, 2024, around the same time he vanished from X, Santos pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and wire fraud charges for fraudulent activity during his 2022 campaign for the U.S. House from New York state, according to CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Newsday<\/a> says Santos is $800,000 in debt. Some of the misappropriated campaign funds were spent on OnlyFan<\/a>s. After his expulsion, Santos joined OnlyFans, but “not for adult content,” he later clarified. That’s a claim we didn’t risk confirming on our own. Santos is also now on Cameo<\/a>, too \u2014 because, I guess, he needs to cover his legal fees somehow.<\/p>\n

Santos pleaded guilty in a deal<\/h2>\n
