CONGRESSMAN GETS IN REPORTER’S FACE, ‘PHYSICALLY THREATENS’ HIM AFTER OBAMA’S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS

Rep. Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.) was caught on video Tuesday night getting into a reporter’s face and allegedly threatening him following President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address.

Grimm seemingly lost his cool after NY1 reporter Michael Scotto attempted to go off-script to ask the congressman about allegations concerning his campaign finances. The New York lawmaker first stormed away, only to return seconds later and physically intimidate the reporter.

It’s hard to hear exactly what Grimm says to the reporter. However, Bob Hardt, NY1′s political director, tweeted that Grimm “physically threatened” Scotto. He later alleged that the congressman threatened to throw the reporter off the balcony and said, “I will break you in half.”

Anybody care to advance the argument that this arrogant shithead shouldn't be primary'ed out of his nice, comfy seat and into the nearest unemployment line?

What?!? There are REPUBLICANS in New York? I thought that Cuomo had thrown 'em all out?

But more to the question -- Not me! Usually, where there's smoke, there's fire. And that asshole needs 14 fire extinguishers to put out the roaring inferno.

Well....uh.....on second thought, how many times have I wanted to reach through the TV screen and choke some damn reporter to death....so, I'll just leave it up to the voters in his district.

While I understand the Congressmans sentiment, I'd hope that by the time you get to national office you'd learn to control your temper a little better.  Besides, now we have to put up with a tidal wave of "REPUBLICANS NEED ANGER MANAGEMENT ZOMG!!!!1111!" stories.

Precisely why I brought this across.  This is nothing more than ammo for the Dhimmi'Rats to use against anybody with an (R) behind their name.

I'm not a fan of pushy reporters or the paparazzi that chases celebrities, regardless of who they are after.

Ever since Lady Diana was killed, I think they are scum.

Personally, I would cheer anybody who started actually breaking reporters in half and pitching them over the railing.

My only complaint about this guy (since I don't know him or his voting record) is that all he did was talk about it.

Personally, I agree, to a point (I think arrogant politicians are faaar worse than arrogant propaganda reporters). However, this was theoretically a New York reporter, who asked a LEGITIMATE question of a New York Congress-shit ("questionable" campaign financing), to which the New York Congress-shit lost all self control IN FRONT OF A CAMERA HE KNEW WAS THERE.

This asshole is a retard of epic proportions.  Had he had so much as a modicum of self control, this would have been nothing to substantiate anything he might have said - or not said - to the moonbat propaganda shill. It would have become a matter of "he said/moonbat propagandist said" and would have disappeared fairly quickly.  As it is, though, we're going to be hearing and seeing this all the way through November - IMHO - on a large national scale.
