"Who are you?" That is all Rep. Bob Ethridge wants to know...

[Yedaddy1234]

If he grabbed my wrist like that... he would have been one whooped ass.

[Leon61491]

well thats what kinda people are in washington

[Alriaz217]

If he would have asked me that question, I would have said "im a republican BITCH!"

[SilverFox466]

The Dems claim the Republicans are the ones who launch assaults; Bob Ethridge must have learned this tactic from SEIU.

[Hreinn91]

He just shows his affection in a very different way. He likes to get physical

[mjpitche]

Who is the congressman? I never heard of him.

[gyrate4]

He helped push through the health-care bill that only 37 percent of his constituents supported.

For the People?????

[FAX335]

That, my youtube friends, is assault. Say goodbye to your seat Bobby.

What a crass, arrogant, foolish, thuggish man. North Carolinians are, for the most part, gentile, respectful, and polite people. If they vote this creature back into office, though, the entire population of that state should hang their head in shame.

[MrGlock45cal]

Man, the Congressman has really bad bags under his eyes...No wonder he's grotchy!

[gaguy1967]

Bob Ethridge committed two crimes here. False Restraint, a felony and simple battery a misdemeanor

[biggpapa226]

How this should have gone:

Who am I? The guy who's about to break your goddamn jaw if you don't let go of me, Mr. Congressman.

[jcoopercam]

VOTE THIS FUCKING TROLL OUT OF OFFICE!!!

[jasonbleacher]

someone grabs me like that... they'd pull back a bloddy stump

what a joke of a congressman

vote all incumbents OUT!!!

ALL!!!!!!!!!

[planetfall]

Ha ha! Awesome! Another alcohol soaked, tax fattened congresscritter caught on camera... See you at the polls!

[dabigdikdangler]

Dude was DRUNK, he slurred some words.

[WitnessEye]

And I just watched a commercial from ethridges campaign... Values... Zero tolerance in school violence... Our Father sees... people don't want to believe it but it is true. What a waste of free will! He could do so much better!

[rhackworth]

Arrogant Ass, vote these ass holes OUT!!!! We pay them hundreds of thousands a year, they represent Us!! He had no right to even touch that young Man,

Maybe thats what the Congressman really wanted, to touch Him, Pervert!!!!

Send Him home or to jail.

[derdagian1]

I am actually pretty surprised by this. At the end, I thought he might stick his tongue down that kids throat. As a Democrat and of questionable sexuality, the Senator may have some pretty deviant sexual proclivities. I always wonder about Democrats. Did anyone else bet that vibe from this Democrat? I did. He seemed to be turned on by the POWER. It's entirely within reason to wonder if the Dem had a enema water shake for foreplay prior to his stroll down the street. 

[Yeppr]

As a democratic insider I want you to know that if we find out your names we will hunt you down and ruin your lives. Once we get you commoners guns we will rule you with an Iron Fist. Obama has already worked to quadriple the size of government in the next decade and it is futile to resist

[tloiselle2]

wow that guy could easily be charged with assault and destruction of property he's not stoned to angry buT like most politicians he was DRUNK and on antidepressants bad mix down down down

[romeovision2006]

Uh, he looked liked he was under the influence of something???

[jetzzz2003]

"Who are you?" Do you think Ethridge thought the kid might have been an illegal alien? Guess he should have asked him for his papers. Bobby Ethridge obviously has some serious mental health issues and should resign immediately and take care of his emotional health.

[brabon1]

im a dem....but that was assault

[auroraaquitaine]

I can understand him needing to know who's questioning him. However, his reaction should not have been a physical one. Wouldn't it have just been easier, and better to simply walk away?

[donnajos]

politics...gotta love 'em right :P

[forevermoonlighting]

This is not the attitude we want to be sending to congress. He says he has a right to know who they are, they have a right to know about the alignment of their elected official.

[pencilneck22]

He doesn't have the right to assault a citizen for asking a simple question.

[forevermoonlighting]

@pencilneck22 Exactly, he is a thug in a suit & tie, and nothing more, he could have simply said "I'll answer if you tell me who you are" but he blew up instead. If the students are smart, they'll sue and make a large fiasco out of it, forcing him not only to resign, but to apologize and admit he was wrong.

[donnajos]

@forevermoonlighting he did apologize on tv...but as far as a lawsuit nothing yet...

[pencilneck22]

@forevermoonlighting; In most states, if not all, that was an assault. This video shows the arrogance of Demorats in particular and what they really think of us "little people". They have been in power so long that assaulting citizens for asking a simple, non-threatening ("yes" or "no") question is completely OK. Any public employee that assaults his employer (they do WORK FOR US after all) should be fired instantly. I hope that the voters of Mr. Ethridge's district see it the same way.
