What Should Happen To A Congressman That THREATENS A Reporter On Live TV?

[MarcATL]

Should it be ignored or dealt with?

And if it's dealt with, how should it be dealt with?

Should he or she have to resign?

Should authorities be called in and perhaps have them arrested?

What?

In any case, here's what a US Congressman did just last night...on Live TV!

[G.T.]

It should be ignored as far as anyone trying to get sue happy or press frivolous charges, and it should be brought up during an Election to let the people decide.

 

[R.D.]

Like any threat, if the guy reports it it gets dealt with

But in this case I think having his tough guy game recorded will end up biting him in the butt

 

[MarcATL]

I believe the authorities should get involved.

The same thing that would happen if you or I were to threaten someone on live TV, telling them that I'd throw them off the balcony if they did x, y or z should happen to the Congressman.

If I'm not mistaken, a regular civilian would be sought out, and most likely arrested, then an investigation ensued.

I believe that's what should happen to this Congressman, and any other Congressman who would do the same. That was preposterous!

 

[TakeAStepBack]

He should be president. I mean, this is idiocracy afterall...

lol, now they fret over this shit as if Democrats have never threatened a reporter

good grief, write to Eric Holder maybe he'll arrest the guy for you I mean he's a danger to you

Got a link that has a Democratic Congressman physically threatening a reporter?

Anyway, looks like this thing is blowing up more and more.

This back bencher that's currently under investigation for some shenanigans and wrongdoings is now nationally known for his bullying.

Exactly what the GOP needs at this time of his neighboring fellow-bully...Christie.

Good going.

And folks like yourself DEFENDING him and them at every turn isn't helping your cause either.

Keep it up!!

I think there is more anger from the left about a duck dynasty guy being invited to the State of the union speech...

 

[HenryBHough]

He should be given a medal.

A medal AND about three (3, libs) trillion Obamabucks if he had carried out both threats. But only one (1, libs) trillion if he had carried out just one. Either would do.

Not nearly as threatening, but a threat non-theless.

You won't see ME defending him.

BTW, what were the circumstances of his threat?

Was he responding to a VERBAL question or a PHYSICAL response?

You know some Paparazzi get too close.

I'd like to know more details.

Not defend him but minimize it, that's what you are doing. Interesting how the partisanship plays on the point of view.

I'd follow the example set by a famous coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team, the late Paul W. (Bear) Bryant. When asked for a $5.00 donation to assist in the funeral of a well known reporter, he said "Here's a ten. Bury two."

 

[Flopper]

At first glance, I thought he was giving the Republican response to the State of Union Speech.

It was a disgraceful set of things he said.

On the other hand, I suppose he was just shooting off at the mouth and not actually making any kind of threat with intent behind it.

What should be done?

Well, if you are a liberal and the offending Congresscritter happens to be a Republican, then OBVIOUSLY what "should" be "done" is keel hauling. Death by torture. Such like.

On the other hand, if you are a liberal and the Congresscritter were a Democrat, then you wouldn't even start a thread about it in a political message board.

amirite?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

He should be Speaker!!

 

[bodecea]

I think it would be really cool if we could all get away with stuff like that.

We don't even know the full context of the story.

WTF are you talking about?!?!

 

[HenryBHough]

Aw, come on. Threatening a cretin is not the same as threatening an actual human.
