LA Thug Rapper Sky Blu (on right) allegedly assaulted Mitt Romney before being escorted from a plane leaving Vancouver this week. Sky Blu moved his seat back on Ann Romney before the plane’s departure and wouldn’t put it up.
Sky Blu is known for hits such as “I’m in Miama Bitch.”
My FOX DC reported:
Los Angeles rapper Sky Blu was named by TMZ website on Friday as the mystery man who attacked Republican politician and former presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on an airplane.
Blu, of electro-hop group LMFAO – known for hits such as I’m in Miami Bitch - allegedly physically threatened Mr Romney on an Air Canada flight leaving Vancouver on Monday morning (local time).
According to video taken by one of Blu’s travelling companions and cited by TMZ, the incident was sparked when the musician, who was sitting in front of Romney’s wife Ann in the economy section of the plane, moved his seat back.
Romney allegedly shouted at Blu to put his seat back. Blu claimed Romney then reached forward and grabbed his shoulder, so he slapped the 62-year-old Republican’s hand away.
Authorities then boarded the plane and escorted Blu off the flight.
Former Massachusetts Governor Romney’s spokesperson Eric Fehrnstrom claimed Tuesday that Blu became “physically violent” when asked to put his seat up but never mentioned whether or not Romney put his hands on him.
Fehrnstrom said: “Governor Romney did not retaliate.”
The rapper says Mitt Romney used a Vulcan grip on him before he was escourted from the plane.
Yeah right. That sounds like Mitt.

Blu refused to put his seat forward for takeoff. That’s a safety violation – it would prevent the people behind him (the Romneys) from evacuating easily if the plane crashed.
Self centerd &ss.

Another badass mulatto.

Junkytrunky,
I don’t think Tea Partiers are fans of Jesse Jackson

What a shock.
Another self interested idiot, who thinks they run the world, totally unaware of others. The classic definition of a Democratic Partisan.
Simply disgraceful, to treat a Woman like this, and more than understandable, for a fine Husband to politely comment to make his Wife more comfortable – a form of protecting one’s Family.
Romney gets such a bad rap, and his reputation in the Private Sector is Legendary for being honest and decent. A true American Leader in the Free Market.
Today, bizarrely Carl Cameron failed to even mention Mr. Romney’s speech while covering CPAC. It was a bizarre report on CPAC, as Cameron even failed to note Brown’s introduction of Romney, who happens to be a new MA Senator – which would seem news worthy.
In fact, Mr. Cameron wrongly attributed Mrs. Palin as the Governor from Arkansas. Does Cameron drink? But the irony remains, I was informed prior, that Mrs. Palin was not attending this years CPAC again, like the prior year.
The entire Cameron report, was so bizarre, it seemed biased against Romney.
As a Catholic, I find the bias against the Mormon faith simply ugly, and found the last Primary regretful. John McCain’s Mother, Mr. Huckabee, etc., showed such a pitiful bigotry, and it was something that simply should not be accepted. Huckabee not only had a record with massive taxation and spending (more than Clinton in ARK), he also seemed to exploit his Religious Identity.
I will never forget Carl Cameron joking at Romney’s expense on camera, only to reveal Mr. Huckabee was sitting right next to him, when the camera later pulled back. It was no surprise Fox would later hire Mr. Huckabee. At the time, I remember wondering if Cameron and Huckabee were jealous of Romney’s success in life.

I’m waiting for Obama to claim Romney acted stupidly, but I don’t think a ‘summit’ would be in order for this situation….after all Mitt does’nt smoke crack.
TeaPartyHottie commented:
Of course. A teabag supporter that’s ignoring the calls from CPAC (to thundrous applause, all caught on video) to castrate Obama. Surprise!
Left Coast Conservative commented:
That “vulcan death grip” was obviously ineffective – the guy is still walking around.
wth commented:
Blu: “I voted for Obama!!”
Romney: “Figures.”

“..the calls from CPAC..to castrate Obama. Surprise!”
It’s too late, TeaPartyHottie, he already has kids. Unless they were thinking Obama was going to get a case of “the Tiger Woods”.
Andreas K. commented:
Ah, the intellectual “superiority” of the left wing.
Vulcan grip, hu? Because we all know Vulcan grips work, right?
“..the calls from CPAC..to castrate Obama. Surprise!”
Right, because there’s no way that the left would plant some rabble rousers in CPAC. No, the left would NEVER do that. Never!
All caught on video to thundrous applause… yeah, sure. Knowing the left something totally different was said.
The only thing the left can do is lie. Well, lie and murder.
Ladue Pundit commented:
This is part of a pattern for these lefties: thug behavior at tea parties and townhalls, crashing a plane at the IRS, shooting people who got tenure, and now this. Where does it end?
I predict that if a lot of these depraved people don’t get help before November, they will explode.

BOOOOSSSHHHH!!!
jonyjoe101 commented:
SkyBLU must not be selling too much records traveling in the economy section of the plane. A poor “rapper” what is the world coming too.
myna commented:
Is this another wanna-be protected class? What do you do before taking-off? Straighten your seat. Instead of Sky Blu using his brain, he used his ass to think.
Carbon Monoxide commented:
If Romney could do a Vulcan death grip, I’d vote for him!
Warthog commented:
Holy crap! What happened to Weird Al Yankovick? That’s him on the right, isn’t it?
(like a surgeon…)
Mike M commented:
Saying he was beat up by a 60 year old. Ought to really boost his street cred.
kas commented:
I like the way the story has morphed from Romney “asking the man to put his seat up”,as it was first reported, to Romney now shouting at this idiot and physically threatening him.
Richard Romano commented:
Might Blu vote for him in the future, asked an off-camera voice?
“No,” he said. “Cuz I’m a Democrat and he’s a Repub.”
Wow, a Democrat — never would have guessed that!
Funny how Democrats frequently do violent things — you know, the things they tend to accuse their political opponents of on a regular basis?
Marsh commented:
I knew it was going to be a stunt or politically motivated. Hopefully they throw the book at this loser so I can LMFAO when he’s getting violated in jail.
Rob Taylor commented:
Hipster D-bags pretending to be rappers. These tools make a living being the safe alternative to rap for White Liberals wanting to be hip.
I think Romney could have taken them.

Did someone ask Jessie Jackson to stfu and sit down?
Chris Vehr commented:
Do Vulcans really exist?
Underdog commented:
Was Romney wearing a “I’m a m f’er” t shirt?
bikermailman commented:
Romney with the Vulcan grip? Impossible. We’re reminded rather frequently that Obowma is Spock. Just sayin’
