A college student reporter ask the simple question: "Do you fully support the Obama agenda?"

The entire conversation:

Etheridge: "Hi."
Student: "How are you?"
Student: "Do you fully support the Obama agenda?"
Etheridge: "Who are you?, Who are you?" (Etheridge goes beserk and proceeds to assault the student. He then grabs the student and won't let go.)
Etheridge: "Who are you?, Who are you?" "Tell me who you are."
Student: "Just here for a project sir."
Etheridge: "Tell me who you are."
Student: We're just here for a project."
Etheridge: "I don't care." (still holding the wrist of the student)
Student: "Will you please let go of my hand."
Etheridge: "Tell me who you are."
Student: "I'm just a student sir."
Etheridge: "From?"
Student: "We're just students"
Etheridge: "I have a right to know who you are."
Student: "All we are are students."
Student: "We're in a public place."
Etheridge: "So am I. Who are you? Who are you?"
Student: "Please let go of my arm."
Etheridge: "Who are you?" (then grabs the back of the students neck and pulls him close to him.)
Student: "Sir, sir, sir, please sir."
Etheridge: "Who are you?" (Student breaks free).

@TRK387 Shut the fuck up and make a shitty video so i can laugh!

If you are an american congressman approached by two random people asking you questions, would you not inquire as to who they are and why they are in your face like that? I would. He might have been a bit excessive but you when you are an elected official with private information I don't think it's ok to just let people walk up on you and get in your face. No one was wrong here. If anything, just respect each other's personal space. 3 feet no pressure bros!

why in the world didn't these 2 goofballs just say their names already? *lol* like what did they have to hide? if some random person asks me "who are you?" I'll say at the VERY least my first name and where I'm from! that's, like....NORMAL :p why were these 2 guys so secretive, like they were already guilty they were doing something wrong? obviously the senator was a nutcase but hello - they could've ended things QUICKLY by just answering his stupid question *lol* not too bright are they....

Congressman Bob Etheridge is obviously a drunk and a fool.

[berdegg]

I like the part where he says "Who are you?"

What is Representative Howareu afraid of?

Seems he wants someone to kick his ass or something so he can scream like a cowed libroid.

[rodeocyclone]

So it's perfectly acceptable for an elected official to assail a citizen?

[rodeocyclone]

Why does it matter who they are, Congressman? Cherry picking your audience, Congressman? Your enraged face @0:23 is priceless, Congressman. Come unhinged much when your press isn't managed by your buddies, Congressman? Worried about the opposition, Congressman?

Oh wait, make that ex-Congressman. So HOOR U now?

Oh yeah, you're the slimy bureaucrat who gets to stick his meathooks in the billions of dollars of TARP cash to parcel out to politically favored organizations, aren't you?

Corrupt pig.

[ToppDuq]

No he doesn't look drunk. He looks like someone being confronted by a callow little wingnut douchebag. I would have slugged the punk but I'm not a congressman.
