George Santos begs for a 'second chance' but can't explain his past lies
Banished from a blip in Congress and relegated to pay-to-say Cameo gimmicks and Twitter subscription-based tea-spilling — George Santos is asking for one more chance.
"Don’t count me out. You know, I've given many people a second chance. And I'm asking everybody to please give me a second chance," he said in one of the teasers released in an upcoming sit-down with Piers Morgan for a new show titled "Uncensored" on TalkTV and first reported by The Daily Mail.
He insisted, "And I will, you know, come forward and prove to be worth your second chance."

The House voted to expel the GOP lawmaker back on Dec. 1. His short tenure was sullied with scandal and a pending federal criminal indictment where prosecutors allege he orchestrated “a fraudulent scheme to steal the personal identity and financial information of contributors to his campaign" and used the funds to afford an OnlyFans account and Botox injections.
He's denied the charges and is expected to go to trial on Sept. 9, 2024.
The removal by his colleagues marks just the sixth member in the chamber’s history.
When asked about how he let down his constituents and dishonored the office, Santos countered that he is beloved by the Long Island constituents.
"Nobody voted for the the George Santos you actually are," Morgan told him. "They voted for the fake version—."
Santos interrupted saying, "That's not true. That's not true."
"They voted for the principles, the agenda and the political positions... nobody voted for me based on my resume."
And Santos claims he made good on his promises.
"I never broke a single campaign promise. Not a single one, Pierce."
When he was asked to explain the make-believe on his resume and on the stump that he was a banker for both Goldman Sachs and Citigroup until he came clean in an interview with The New York Post that he "never worked directly" for the firm and that he used a “poor choice of words.”
When Morgan asked about the Queens native's "endless lies" he sat silent with a blank stare and then finally said, "I don't have an answer for you."
Another pregnant pause and Santos repeated, "I really don’t."
