Protest videos contradict state legislator's Facebook post

DALLAS – At least five videos posted to Facebook appear to contradict state Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano saying he was cursed and spat on during an exchange with a group of protesters over the weekend.

The Republican state representative voluntarily stopped to speak with a people picketing outside the Collin County Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Day dinner at Plano Centre on Saturday evening.

“I didn’t have to stop and talk to you tonight but I wanted to because I want you to know how much I appreciate you being here. Let’s work together,” said Rep. Leach. “I know we’re doing a lot of this {putting both fists together to suggest heads butting} in this country right now and I don’t like that.”

The state representative even shared his personal mobile phone number with the group while standing at a hedge and speaking to them for about six minutes.
