Grimm: “Let me be clear to you, you ever do that to me again I’ll throw you off this f*cking balcony.”

Scotto: “Why? I just wanted to ask you…”

]

Grimm: “If you ever do that to me again…”

Scotto: “Why? Why? It’s a valid question.”

]

Grimm: “No, no, you’re not man enough, you’re not man enough. I’ll break you in half. Like a boy.”

It is scary when you realize there are more mentally ill congressmen than homeless people who suffer with mental illness in DC

and acting in that manner to a reporter in front of one that is working is not wise.

One can understand why he thought it was turned off. I guess politicians should always assume every mike is hot and every camera is running.

Too bad we can't hear the threat, maybe the FBI Terrorist Squad could clean up the audio. Wow, life in the USA, right in the Capitol.

20. He Needs to Be Censured

Even though a censure does not do very much he should be censured. Any member of Congress that threatens a member of Congress that threatens to throw someone over a balcony simply because the person asked a question about that Congressman's legal problems should be censured.
