Etheridge Grabs Student On Washington Street

Representative Bob Etheridge (D-NC) is under fire after a video surfaced Monday showing him in a physical confrontation with a young man on a street in Washington.  Etheridge is seen in the amateur video grabbing the wrist and neck of the unidentified man after he approached him and asked if he supported the "Obama agenda."

The video shows the man, who appears to be in his young 20s and who identifies himself as a college student, approaching Etheridge on the sidewalk.  Etheridge is then seen trying to snatch a cell phone camera out of the student's hands. He then grabs the man's wrist and refuses to let go.

"Who are you!" the seventh-term congressman demands. "Tell me who you are ... I have a right to know who you are."  Another man, not seen on camera, then tells Etheridge, "We're just here for a project."

When the student asks Etheridge to "please let go of me," the congressman then grabs him by the neck.

In a statement Monday, NRCC spokesman Jon Thompson said, "Bob Etheridge has lost it.  "His conduct is unbecoming of a member of Congress. It's bad enough that he's joined Obama's assault on North Carolina jobs, but his physical assault on a college student goes beyond the pale.”

Etheridge should be censored and should resign from Congress.  He is a disgrace to Congress.  This was an assault on the young man.  The young man should have filed criminal charges against him.  Let’s see how the corrupt Democrats and main stream media handle this.  To them it was the student or George Bush’s fault.
