Stephen Colbert Turns George Santos’ Prison Release Into a Brutal Takedown of Trump’s “Next Mess in New York”.NH

Stephen Colbert sounded off on President Donald Trump’s decision to commute former Representative George Santos’ prison sentence during his monologue Monday.

The comedian weighed in on the president’s decision on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” where he laid into Trump for setting free “no smalltime crook.”

“Last year, the former congressman pleaded guilty to multiple counts of wire fraud and identity theft and was sentenced to seven years in prison,” he said. “But, defying all logic, king, not a king [Trump], arbitrarily commuted Santos’ sentence and released him from prison after he served just 84 days, making Santos just the next pile of crap Trump is dropping on New York.”
