Woman attempts to drive GOP congressman off road over health care vote: police

A Tennessee woman hated that her congressman voted for the controversial Republican health care bill in the House of Representatives, authorities say.

So Wendi Wright tried to run Rep. David Kustoff, R-Tenn., off the road after he left a town hall meeting at the University of Tennessee at Martin, they said.

The Weakley County Sheriff's Department said Wright tailed the car carrying Kustoff. At some point, the congressman and his aide became afraid and worried that Wright wanted to force them off the road.

They then turned into a driveway and stopped. That's where Wright got out, screamed at the congressman and struck the windows of his vehicle, even reaching inside the car, the sheriff's department said.

Nothing justifies acting like this. What makes it worse is the fact that we're clearly winning the political battle over health care.

Crap like this isn't helpful.

It worked quite well for France in the 1780S notice they are still on the left today. Treating this vile treasonist sect as a political party to reason with is asanine .They are poison, they stand for nothing but greed and racism . the party should be outlawed .If I was 225 yrs older I would have been the guy sharping the guillotine blade.The hell with being nice or civil < lets rock and roll..........feed em cake!
