An operative for a political committee that supports Democrats has been charged with assault following a confrontation with a staffer for Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke outside a congressional hearing.

Capitol Police charged Wilfred M. Stark, 49, of Falls Church, Virginia, with simple assault following a confrontation with Heather Swift, a spokeswoman for Zinke. Stark works for American Bridge 21st Century, a group that supports Democratic candidates.

According to a police report, Stark approached Zinke after a House hearing Thursday and started yelling at him. Zinke continued walking out of the hearing room at the Longworth House Office Building and Stark “used his full body to push” Swift as she tried to leave the room, the report said.

Swift told police that Stark had been removed from an elevator two days earlier as he tried to force his way onto an elevator with Zinke and his staff. Swift said she decided to press charges. …

Wilfred Stark. I’m still not seeing any face photos of this guy. If he was GOP, we would be seeing all that.
Maybe he’s being protected for some reason.
I’m glad the lady he bulldozed into is pressing charges.
He seemed so determined to get Zinke, I wonder if he was being paid for a Goon-Squad type of job; “Maim and disable now, fauxpologize years later through your attorney.”

Bad move on his part. Sounds like he was coming apart in the days leading up to his. Hopefully he’ll have plenty of time to reflect on this in jail.

Democrat Party’s war on women. Democrat Party - the real anti women party. In the Democrat Party women aren’t allowed to think for themselves.

Thanks for the photo.
This is the type of guy who stays in trouble.
He was already brought to court a month ago for blocking the start of a neighborhood parade. Supposedly, he is a ‘reporter’. Not a good reflection on whoever would employ him.

She should claim he grabbed her boob. That’ll get the bum fired at a minimum.
