Bob Turner at the congressman’s swearing-in ceremony.“I guess you could say I sorted him out,†said Hiltunen, 48, his jacket and tie barely mussed after dragging the scruffy protester out on his rear end.“All I was doing was trying to stop this historic occasion from being disrupt-ed. There is a time and place to exercise your First Amendment rights,’’ said Hiltunen, of Bergen Beach, Brooklyn, who was identified by people at the ceremony as an ex-Marine.“This was not the time or the venue,†Hiltunen added.Adam Weissman, 33, of Astoria, was one of three demonstrators to disrupt Turner’s local swearing-in ceremony at Metropolitan HS in Forest Hills.Turner won the congressional seat once held by disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner by defeating Assemblyman David Weprin.“Bob Turner has only been in office for two months and . . .†was all that the bearded heckler could blurt out before he was taken down by Hiltunen.Holding a sign that read, “Rep. Turner [heart] the 1%,†Weissman remained seated and quiet until Turner, who was there with his wife, Peggy, took the stage about 1:30 p.m. and began to speak.
