Rep. Grimm Threatens to Throw Reporter Off Balcony

From Ring of Fire:

Representative Michael Grimm is getting desperate. Following this week’s State of the Union Address, Scotto let slip his violent side and threatened NY1 reporter Michael Scotto.

After a comparatively mundane interview, the reporter went on to ask Grimm an additional question. Grimm was having none of it.

“I’m not talking about anything that is off-topic. This is only about the president,” he said and walked off camera.

Scotto finished the interview and while the camera was still on, Grimm walked back into frame and made his threat.

“Let me be clear to you. If you ever do that to me again I’ll throw you off this f—ing balcony.”

The last two articles that they put out that I've read on DU had this same type of editing issue.
