GOP Rep. Steve Knight to protester: “Touch me again, I’ll drop your ass, alright?”
In the following video, freshman US Republican Rep. Steve Knight (pictured left) is seen threatening a protester who was making what the Congressman felt was inappropriate physical contact.
Protester: (Tightly shaking the Congressman’s hand and refusing to let go) You told me you didn’t vote for amnesty and you did. I looked it up on the internet. (Slapping the Congressman on the shoulder) You lied to me.
Congressman Steve Knight: If you touch me again, I’ll drop your ass. Alright?
The incident took place on April 17th in Simi Valley, CA.
From the protest organizer’s YouTube page:
Congressman Steve Knight held an open house at his Simi Valley office. He would not allow a group of protesters in his office but met with them outside after his event ended.
