Washington DC - George Santos received pushback from an unexpected place after taking aim at fellow New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday.

As Republicans prepared to vote on removing Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, AOC gave an impassioned defense of her colleague on the House floor.

In her remarks, the New York progressive called out Republicans for targeting women of color and described the ouster of Omar as another example of racism toward Muslims in post-9/11 America.

Santos was among those apparently triggered by AOC's speech. "I DEMAND Sandy get an Oscar, PRONTO!" he tweeted along with the video of her remarks.

Santos' snarky tweet received a response from none other than actor Billy Baldwin, who replied, "I’ll talk to the Academy about getting you a lifetime achievement award for Best Actor."

Baldwin's comment got more than 1,400 likes.

The callout refers to Santos' questionable ways, as he is currently under investigation for his sketchy campaign finances. He has also come under fire for faking huge portions of his career and personal history on the campaign trail and is facing a revived fraud case in Brazil.

Though he voluntarily stepped down from his two House committee assignments this week, the disgraced representative has refused to resign from Congress.

Given Santos' own track record of lying, many – Baldwin included – found his suggestion that AOC is the one playing a role eyebrow-raising, to say the least.
