Congressman Attacks Student During Attempted Interview

Democrat Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-NC2) had a video camera shoved in his face last week, and he didn’t like it.

An un-identified student asked Etheridge whether he supported the “Obama agenda.” His response: grabbing the student’s neck and wrist and asking repeatedly, “who are you?”

Is it just us, or would a simple “no comment,” or not even acknowledging the students been a better response? Etheridge’s office has not yet issued a statement.

UPDATE: Etheridge did issue an apology , while the identity of those who shot the video has yet to be revealed.
