George Santos leaves Tucker Carlson stunned by saying prison is full of Trump-hating liberals

WASHINGTON, DC: Former politician and convicted felon George Santos, who was sentenced to 87 months in prison for Wire Fraud and Aggravated Identity Theft, made a shocking claim on ‘The Tucker Carlson Show,’ saying his time behind bars was filled with “lots of liberals” who hated President Donald Trump.

The revelation comes shortly after Trump commuted Santos’ prison sentence, just 84 days into a seven-year term. 

George Santos reveals there were ‘a lot of liberals’ in prison

George Santos detailed his time in prison to Tucker Carlson on October 31 after the host asked how he got along with fellow inmates. But Santos dismissed most of them as extras in his journey and revealed that many leaned left.

Santos began, “Inmates were for me, I call them extras in my journey. There was like maybe two or three. I couldn’t find a lot of similarities with a lot of them, I think. There was a group of like five or six that I could talk to, but these are well-educated individuals, very savvy, but at the same time very liberal.” A shocked Carlson asked, “Very liberal?”

Santos continued, “Oh my God, lots of liberals in prison. You’d be shocked. You’d be shocked at the amount of people who hate the president in prison. But then the moment, which is funny, the moment I got commuted, everybody was going, ‘oh, Trump’s the man! Yo, buddy, take care of me, call my wife’ I left with a stack of phone numbers of wives that I’ve never called.”

Carlson, equally surprised, responded, “I know a lot of people who have been to prison and they all get more right wing in prison.” Santos shared, "Well, maybe these [people] were still not getting red-pilled yet."

Tucker Carlson asks about George Santos’ mental health

Tucker Carlson and George Santos also discussed Santos’ mental health and medication during his time in prison. Carlson asked about his sleep, questioning, “Was it hard to sleep?”

Santos replied, “I cried every night. It was not easy. So much so that the prison there, even though other prisons do allow people to stay on their actual medications that they have been treated on for years.”

He explained, “I was on Vyvanse for… I have been on Vyvanse, which is an Adderall because I’m ADHD for 22 years, since I’m 15, 37.”

Santos added, “These guys took me off Vyvanse cold turkey and literally stuffed me up with an antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications. So needless to say, I was kind of zombified”

Carlson asked, “What was that like?” Santos said, “No medical care, no health, no mental health care. It’s a complete decay and abandonment.

Carlson then asked whether Santos was able to get his prescribed medication. The former representative answered, “Oh, no, no, no, no. They give you the pill—you can’t self-medicate.”

He continued, “Oh yeah, but those pills, they won’t give you what you… They won’t treat you with what you need at that prison for some reason. Although if you look historically even Sam Bankman-Fried when he’s in prison, he’s receiving his Adderall because he’s ADHD, right? He’s still receiving.”

Carlson then questioned, “How does it protect you to limit you to three showers a week and make you wear someone else’s dirty boxer shorts?”

Santos corrected him, saying, “Oh, tighty whities. Not boxer shorts. Actually, yeah. Actually, orange, but tighty whities, you know, Fruit of the Loom, old school.”
