The Congressman was accused of lying about having NOT voted for amnesty. To confirm his record the Congressman then proceed to explain the four readings of the bill. The fourth final reading did NOT include amnesty but did include Homeland security. That the Congressman NEVER voted for Amnesty was correct. The 'FALSE' accuser admitted to NOT [b]having read all four considerations of the bill.
I was expanding only on pknopp's observations that Knight voted for Homeland Security after siding with the Tea bloc in votes leading up to it.
It's important that readers see that Tea is a liberty movement unlike the Dem and neocon (leftist/Rockefeller Republican) Bolsheviks.
I fully agree.
I think he was too quick in a, serious of course, but biting mean manner that was over the top.
I think he raised the tension more than he was effective in diffusing it.
Whoa whoa whoa....what tension?
The person you are fully agreeing with just called it a firm handshake and pat on the shoulder, how could there possibly be any real tension?
Basically, the narrative here is that some guy just politely asked him why he lied while nicely shaking his hand and the guy just erupted.
roflmao.
Again, I don't give a crap about either guy involved, their votes or their politics. Just pointing out the obvious physicality of the handshake and then the step in etc.
Heck I've seen fights start right then and there over less than that....and I'm fairly sure that was the intent.

Did YOU watch the video?
Pay attention to the Congressman's face.
You could call it "seething anger".
The guy speaking with him and shaking his hand was over the top but the reaction was too much.

I see your point, although I disagree with it. The blame goes to the constituent, not the Rep. The constituent was the cause. Always treat the cause not the symptom, otherwise you won't be able to solve problems.
The guy who shook his hand basically committed a passive aggressive assault. It's going to get to the point where Republican candidates won't even talk to the public, like Hillary doesn't (unless staged). Immigration reform isn't as simple as people want to be. With this administration, nothing extreme will get done anyway.

There is no "reform". It will still be a violation of our immigration laws to come here illegally. It is simply amnesty for millions of illegal aliens and that's a huge mistake.

How was the hand shaking "over the top" ?
Please elaborate because we have some people here in denial saying it was just normal....lol.
Trust me, if I crawled up in your face while gripping your hand hard after a handshake started and then did that stuff....your natural human reactions would be firing off like mad.
The only people defending this crap either have political axes to grind or have never been in physical confrontations.
Me, I don't care if the guy is voted out of office or whatever....zero care.
However, we have a whole bunch of big fat liars with political agendas imagining that this wasn't a physical confrontation.
Seriously. Man up. If you don't like the guys politics then great. If however, you are being a weasel because you want to play this up? Where is your sense of integrity?
Freshman Republican Congressman Steve Knight (California) was challenged by an anti-amnesty group and held his ground. It appears to be a parsing of words issue, with the group accusing the Congressman of selling out and not voting "rightly" on an immigration bill.
I don't know if Steve is blowing smoke up their butts but he's smooth, handled it well, and held his ground. I expect he'll do well in politics and on the national stage.

A politician should be held to a higher standard of behavior when dealing with the public. Getting all hostile over it and using the word "a**" is not how a politician should handle themselves. Even he apologized and admitted it yet you leftists still keep beating this horse to death. The agenda is to shed a bad light on conservatives and it's typical of your side.

Strange since both Conservatives and Liberals alike have defended the Republican Politicians actions because he was correct in telling the POS that knows what the guy just did and will not allow it again, I guess you would just let it slide, yeah sure ya would.
