After catching the former congressman’s attention, the man slips Santos a drink and asks, “How do you like that?”

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

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

The Independent asked 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,” wrote the popular X account Republicans Against Trump on X. “Stop attacking 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 a Manhattan hotel earlier this month by Luigi Mangione, an outspoken critic of the health care system.

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

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

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

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

Since leaving office, Santos has maintained a high profile in the public eye, playing off his scandal-plagued role.
