Previous New York congressman George Santos was hit with a cup coffee when he passed through Times Squareaccording to a video making the rounds on social media.

The clip begins with an unnamed man wearing sunglasses speaking into the camera, saying, “This guy has (the) audacity to show his face,” as he follows Santos.

After getting the former congressman’s attention, the man throws a drink at Santos and asks, “How do you like it?”

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Santos answers.

The clip, based on digital headlines circulating on news in the background, appears to be from November.

The independent has contacted Santos for comment.

The video sparked criticism online, even from opponents of the controversial Republican.

“As much as we don’t like the guy, this is unacceptable,” the popular X account Republicans Against Trump wrote at X. “Stop assaulting people just because you disagree with them politically.”

The comment appeared to be a reference to the recent fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was reportedly gunned down outside a Manhattan hotel earlier this month by Luigi Mangionean outspoken critic of the healthcare system.

Santos was accused of making numerous false statements about his background and expelled from Congress in December 2023, one of just six members of Congress in history to be kicked out of the House. The other five were members of the Confederacy.

In August, Santos implored guilty of aggravated identity theft and wire fraud charges.

Santos admitted to fraud, stealing credit card information for personal use and lying to the Federal Election Commission.

He will have to repay more than $300,000 to his victims, prosecutors said.

Since leaving office, Santos has maintained a high public profile, playing on his scandal-plagued persona.

This month, he began advertising a new podcast called “Pants on Fire” and said he “buried” his political career.
