I hate the BS headline on this. He was NOT asked about campaign corruption. The reporter asked if he could move on to another topic, and he said ‘no’ and walked away. Then the reporter, gets on camera and says that he REFUSED to answer questions about campaign corruption, and the guy got p*ssed. I think it’s beneath his office, but I can understand what turns Mr. Hand into Mr. Fist. (thanks, Sam Kinnison).
I am having a hard time caring about it also. At least Grimm threatened him personally and not with the power of his office. With people like Rangel, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Cybthia McKinney, Alan Grayson, etc. as member the bar has been set pretty low for acceptable behavior in the House.
Personally, I’m glad he got in the little weasel’s face. I enjoyed the “Uh-oh” moment the “reporter” had when he realized he messed with the wrong guy.
We’re always saying how GOP folk never fight back, and then when they do, some just bemoan it.
