Trump 2020 campaign coordinator facing charges after 'stupid' restaurant takeout brawl

.............................

Jeffrey Santopietro entered Monteiro’s Restaurant about 10 a.m. Friday to pick up his order and found two patrons already inside, and the 53-year-old Waterbury man told police he thought another man perched on a barstool insulted him, reported WFSB-TV.


Santopietro, the president’s re-election campaign coordinator in Connecticut, told officers he thought the other man had called him “fat or some other insulting term,” and he pushed the other man off the stool and into the wall.
......................................


Police interviewed the victim, who complained about back pain but declined medical treatment.

Santiopietro, who apologized for his “immature, stupid” behavior, was issued a misdemeanor summons for second-degree breach of peace.

Hell it's a wonder he didn't think one of them had a gun. This is kind of endless BS that Trump brings.

has been greatly revised since the Trumpeanzoic age started. I know it's only been a little over three years, but it seems like millions of years have passed since actual human beings have been subjected to the harsh realities of Donald Trump. Harsh realities for actual humans, total lack of reality for anyone believing in the Trumpian "philosophy".

out of the wrong side of the bed. Kind of hard to work up a rage that early, isn't it? Maybe he pulled an all-nighter.

............Santopietro, who said he went to the restaurant to get takeout, said he “snapped” when he thought the man called him fat. He was issued a summons to appear in court in July.

The Republican-American reported Santopietro was among eight politically connected Republicans arrested by federal agents on corruption-related charges in 1991. His brother, then-mayor Joseph Santopietro, was among those arrested. Jeffrey Santopietro ultimately pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion.

All republicans, of course.
