Threatening a constituent should be the end of him. If he had been a democrat, republicans would have been up in arms over this.
Can't see in the vid where it started handshake wise but I wonder about the "continued handshake with the pump". Why shake the "enemies" hand like that unless you are being passive aggressive?
Good to see the Congress critter explain the entire bill. It changes so much and people don't know that. And as a previous poster noted, he's for homeland security so automatically I wouldn't support 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.
That is exactly what it was. You read that spot on.

God being a politician would suck. This poor guy has to deal with idiots like this every day. Just think about how old that would get. I'm anti-amnesty myself, but these tools would make the pope curse. They're just as bad as loud mouth liberals that protest just to protest..................barf
also, that guy that stepped over the line with him needs his *** kicked. Like another poster said, a teddy Roosevelt type character would have knocked the pizz out of him for that type of disrespect.
Hey you put your azz out there for the press to take pictures of you and it should not come as a surprise getting sandbagged by idiots with agendas from time to time.
The camera can be either your friend or your worst nightmare; something every public figure should have learned during Face-time 101.
When out amongst the commoners , it's always a possibility you're going to get groped. Handle it with grace, restraint and dignity or play the John Wayne card and take the flack, your choice and voter's option later.
The article itself that was posted in here said the man touched the congressman's shoulder. Why avoid the part where it said that the congressman lied and was confronted about it? A politician using the word "ass" to address an American in public was not cool regardless. Funny how liberals will defend a Republican when they demonize other conservatives, isn't it?
Still not watching the video huh?
Again, all these posters throwing around words like "liberals" or "conservatives" etc. with obvious bias.
I don't care if the guy is a communist party candidate for New Hampshire, the guy that came up got physical with him and he had every right to be upset by it.
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.
Nice to see a poster that has thier political convictions but can look at a video and not let their brain reinterpret reality.
My ability to call it like it is has always pissed off everyone on all sides of most issues.
