George Amos Tenney III
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageGeorge Amos Tenney III is an executive chef and a single father of two from Anderson, South Carolina. FACT: Tenney worked as an executive chef at a retirement community restaurant. He has lived in Anderson, South Carolina since he was eight years old. He is a single father of two children. Source: AmericanPOWs.com prisoner profile. Think about what that job actually is. He cooked for old folks. Every single day. Ordering, prep, a line to run, and a dining room full of people who needed a hot meal and a familiar face. Nursing home kitchens do not make anybody famous. They just feed people who cannot feed themselves anymore. That is the work George Tenney was doing before any of this. THE LEGAL FIGHT FACT: Case initially filed as 21-mj-505. Arrested June 29, 2021. Initial appearance July 6, 2021. FACT: Indicted October 22, 2021. FACT: Pleaded guilty June 30, 2022. FACT: Sentenced December 5, 2022 to 36 months incarceration, 36 months supervised release and $2,000 restitution. FACT: He was designated to FCI Elkton in Lisbon, Ohio, and his listed release date was July 23, 2025. Source: AmericanPOWs.com. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued clemency covering January 6 defendants. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: An individual clemency certificate for George Amos Tenney III has not been located in the records reviewed here. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE A three year sentence does not tell you what kind of father a man is. Two kids in Anderson County waited out every day of it. That is in the record too.
