De Blasio: House Should Sanction Grimm

State of Politics

Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters on Wednesday that Republican leadership in the House of Representatives should “absolutely” take steps to sanction Staten Island Rep. Michael Grimm for the threats made to Time Warner Cable News reporter Michael Scotto.

Grimm called Scotto earlier on Wednesday to apologize after threatening to throw the reporter off a balcony in the Capitol rotunda following a question about the arrest of the lawmaker’s campaign fundraisers this month.

Scotto said he accepted Grimm’s apology.
