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.
Threatening a constituent should be the end of him. If he had been a democrat, republicans would have been up in arms over this.
I'm a Republican and the protesters were correct and he had no right to talk to them that way. He just didn't like it because he got caught in a lie. He's toast in my eyes.
The answer to that was for the guy to not touch him again or he would consider it a assault.
Agreed.
Vote him out, protest him, all valid civil actions....but when you start touching the guy in an obvious manner meant to confront and intimidate you don't have that right. To cry about him standing up for himself is a really pansy move on top of it all.
You'd have had to get 4 guys to pull Teddy Roosevelt off someone that did that to him.

From what I read all the protester did was to touch his shoulder. Oh, the melodramatics when you get caught in a lie. What kind of a politician would say "I'll drop your ass" just for that? As I said, he got confronted about his lie and didn't like it thus the hostility. Doesn't bode well for him to the public.
Mr. Flag shirt was giving him a tough-guy handshake and started it.
Once you separate how you feel about politics, or his politics or party it's a fair response to the guy being an ass to him.
I caught that also, he would not let go of him and the pat was more of an insult that anything else, I do not blame the guy for warning the idiot. As someone else said if that were a Dem Cons would all up in arms over it.
