Here is shocking video of North Carolina Democrat Rep. Bob Etheridge being asked by some students on a public sidewalk in Washington, D.C. if he supports the “Obama Agenda.” Once he realized the students were asking him that question, he went bonkers. Etheridge hit their camera and then grabbed one of the students by the arm as he repeated over and over “Who are you, Who are you? Tell me who you are?” The students identified themselves as such, but Etheridge persisted. At one point he then grabbed the student whose arm he had been holding onto and pulled himself up beside himself with his arm wrapped around the student. The student repeatedly asked the Congressman to “let go of my arm.”
There is no scenario under which this kind of behavior is acceptable. Etheridge represents the 2nd District in North Carolina, and faces a tough re-election battle. This video ought to seal his defeat. It’s time for voters to say to Etheridge, “Who are you” to treat people like this?
Mike Flynn at Big Government has more.

Translation: Show me your papers.
Yes! Excellent.
“Obama Agenda.” Man did those two words set him off!
Exposure of the truth really sets leftists off, doesn’t it?
“men preferred darkness for their deeds were evil”
Good point. This video captures their attitude perfectly.
If that bastard did that to me I would have sent him into next week!
Senator Grabby sounds drunk as a skunk.
Ping for future reference.
OMG, I am sorry but that is an obvious assault....this guy should be standing in front of a judge. I think I would of had the right to defend myself at that point and I would have, rightfully so.
“I’m surprised that these kids didn’t beat the crap out of the congressman thug.”
The kids played it beautifully. If they’d beaten the snot out of this turkey, they’d have gone to jail. Instead, they got great video footage that is currently going viral.
They can sue for assault and battery later. AFTER filing criminal charges and an ethics complaint.
Yes, that's me. First 20 years in the UP, 5 in Indiana, 20 in Virgina and the last 7 here in North Carolina's only Republican stronghold of the 2nd District, Clayton.
Renee Ellmers has my vote!
LOL. Ron White is awesome.
This incident could be just what we need to spark that race.
I don’t know how strong a challenger GOP nominee Renee Ellmers is.
Agreed! He sounded drunk to me - red face, easily provoked, slurred words... I wouldn't be surprised. That being said, transforming America and creating chaos is a stressful job so drinking prob. helps him let off steam.
Make that Representative Grabby.
We have just experienced yet another Close Encounter with the Loony Left

Bingo. . .coming back from *hick* his 5-martini lunssssch.
Yikes.
Yeah, you're probably right. It's the old barroom bouncer coming out in me. I make a better Rambo than I do a Ghandi. This footage will be very damaging to this guy and the democrats in general.

I hope that they grab a lawyer immediately, and press charges. Why the lawyer? Because there are undoubtedly crooked local politicians that will try to destroy your case on a technicality if they are tight with the thug. Got to make sure that all the I's are dotted, and T's are crossed.
Charge him they should even if he would succeed in the Article I Section 6 defense - UNLESS they charge him with Breach of the Peace, then it is game over for that congresscritter. Too bad DC is run by RATs or this might just happen.
