Actually, I think the students handled it perfectly. If they would have punched him back. They may have legally been in the right, but the MSM media would have played it as a bunch of violent conservative thugs provoking, then assaulting an old man. The way it happened they came out looking great, and the congressman looked like an out of control jerk. Sometimes it's more productive to use brains than brawn...I disagree. It made the two "conservatives" look wimpy, not serious. Sorry, it does. If I had been me, the congresscritter would have gone down. The only thing liberals(MSM) understand is brute force.

The students knew it was being videotaped, the a-hole Congressman did not. That knowledge informs the conduct. I agree with the poster who said the kids acted correctly.
I’m appalled, but not surprised, the MSM won’t run it. They never do.

I agree. There is only so much that we are required to brook out of common decency and assault is not one of those things. The congressman actions should have been met with swift resistance.
It’s not like the propaganda arm of the Democrat party (major media outlets) will tell the truth about conservative regardless.
