He's already called the reporter to apologize. LOL.

Were you or i say the same words of" throwing someone off the balcony"; then we would be arrested for threatening a person on federal property.

He showed what a true Islander is now. One of the reasons Islanders born in the 1960's and 70's have moved.

Too bad he doesn't have the kind of money Obama has, to protect himself from these kinds of questions.

Was he forced at gunpoint to talk to this reporter? I must have missed that part.

NY congressman to reporter: 'I'll break you in half' - NBC Politics

"So Congressman Michael Grimm does not want to talk about some of the allegations concerning his campaign finances," Scotto said before tossing back to the station. But as the camera continued to roll, Grimm walked back up to Scotto and began speaking to him in a low voice.

"What?" Scotto responded. "I just wanted to ask you..."

Grimm: "Let me be clear to you, you ever do that to me again I'll throw you off this f-----g balcony."

Scotto: "Why? I just wanted to ask you..."

Grimm: "If you ever do that to me again..."

Scotto: "Why? Why? It’s a valid question."

Grimm: "No, no, you're not man enough, you're not man enough. I'll break you in half. Like a boy."

Grimm donor Diana Durand has been charged with exceeding the maximum donation to his campaign by reimbursing friends for their contributions to him. Grimm is not charged with any wrongdoing.

I watched this tape and did not hear any threats?

I guess bridgegate is getting old.
the media will do anything to take the focus off of Obama.

Can you imagine if he had actually grabbed the reporter, broke him in half, and thrown him off the balcony?

I must admit...a part of me would find that hilarious.

Im a bad human being.

It's a news story, where do you think you're going to hear about it? On the news. Now, if this hadn't been reported & the congressman being interviewed was a dem, you'd be crying like a baby claiming the media is covering something up. Make up your mind.
