The GOP Rep. was called out after tweeting a shady response to a girl who tried to take a photo of him while he was shopping in Zara.

New York Republican Representative George Santos took to social media to publicly shame a young woman who attempted to take his photo while he was shopping at a Zara store.

Instead of focusing on his upcoming court appearance or fulfilling his duties as a member of Congress, Santos took time out of his day to address the incident on Twitter.


His puerile hot take drew criticism from online users.

Santos directed a derogatory comment towards the woman, suggesting she should be more concerned about her "acne issue" rather than trying to capture his image. He accompanied the tweet with a shocked meme featuring J. Alexander from America's Next Top Model.

Santos wrote:

“For the girl trying really hard to take a picture of me inside Zara."
"You should focus more on that acne issue you got going on instead of trying to take pictures of me."

You can see Santos' post below.

Santos was criticized for body-shaming.

Many took the opportunity to further criticize him for his many scandals.








Santos has been embroiled in a series of controversies due to his questionable background story and alleged fraudulent actions.

He was arraigned in court last month and is facing a barrage of serious allegations about fraudulent schemes and dishonesty that allowed him to rise to Congress and enrich himself.

The charges against him include seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of misappropriation of public funds, and two counts of making false statements of material fact to the House of Representatives.

In the months before his indictment, Santos had risen to infamy by constructing a false identity, artfully portraying himself as a prosperous Wall Street tycoon, boasting of a flourishing real estate portfolio and a glorious past as a collegiate volleyball sensation.

However, meticulous investigations subsequently exposed these assertions as nothing more than a tapestry of falsehoods. Santos had never occupied the esteemed positions he claimed, nor had he pursued higher education.

In truth, he had endured financial struggles before venturing into the realm of politics. He also had an outstanding case in Brazil related to his stealing a checkbook—a crime Santos admitted to committing before fleeing Brazil before his sentencing.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
