Read our privacy policy Former New York congressman George Santos was hit with a cup of coffee as he walked through Times Square, according to a video making the rounds on social media. The clip begins with an unnamed man wearing sunglasses speaking into camera, saying, “This guy has got audacity to show his face,” as he follows Santos. After getting the former congressman’s attention, the man throws a drink on Santos, and asks, “How do you like that?” “What the f*** is wrong with you?” Santos responds. “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 allegedly gunned down outside of a Manhattan hotel earlier this month by Luigi Mangione, an outspoken critic of the healthcare system.
