Rather than focus on his next upcoming court appearance, or representing his New York District 3 constituents in Congress, beleaguered GOP Rep. George Santos took time out from his day yesterday to blast a young woman who tried to take his photo.

Santos was browsing the racks of a Zara store when the incident happened. He tweeted about it later in an attempt to shame the photo hunter.

“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.😉”

He included the much-used meme of J. Alexander (America’s Next Top Model) looking shocked.

Santos’s attempt to be sassy did not go down well with many online.

The charges against George Santos

Freshman Rep. Santos was indicted last month on 13 charges. These include seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.

Santos pleaded not guilty to all charges and is due to appear in court again on June 30. He was released after paying a bond of $500,000.

Earlier this month, a judge agreed to unseal information on the three individuals who paid Santos’ bond money. However, Santos and his lawyers successfully appealed that decision. They said the individuals “truly fear for their health, safety and well-being” if named.

Last month, Santos reportedly settled historic theft charges in Brazil dating back to 2008. Aged 19, he used a stolen checkbook to go on a spending spree, splurging around $700 on clothing and shoes. The Washington Post reported the gay congressman signed a deal admitting the charges and agreeing to pay restitution and fines in exchange for authorities dropping the criminal case against him there.
