Watch Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) Threaten A Reporter

Now there’s something you don’t see every day on TV:

Congressman Michael Grimm, reportedly under federal investigation after allegations of illegal campaign fund-raising, blew up and physically threatened a reporter tonight after the president’s State of the Union speech, according to NY1.

During an interview with Mr. Grimm, a television reporter attempted to pivot from the speech to the allegations. But Mr. Grimm, who wanted to focus on the evening, visibly stormed off and then came back to confront the reporter.

According to an NY1 transcript of the exchange, Mr. Grimm told the reporter he would “break you in half”.

Grimm is caught up in a campaign cash scandal – and is alleged to have had sex with an unidentified woman in a bar bathroom.
