Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) threatens a NY1 reporter after he is asked about campaign corruption during a post-SOTU interview.

"Let me be clear to you, you ever do that to me again I'll throw you off this f***ing balcony," Grimm said, according to NY1.

"It's a valid question," Michael Scotto, the reporter, told Grimm.

"No, no, you’re not man enough, you’re not man enough. I’ll break you in half. Like a boy," Grimm responded.

Here is the transcript released by NY1...

It was funny seeing that little squirrely reporter's face when the guy responded with anger.

The squirrelly reporter is the nephew of Fox5 (NYC) Morning News Host Rosanna Scotto. The other half of the morning team is former NYC Police Chief Ray Kelly's son Greg.

Greg Kelly was trying to dismiss the whole brouhaha, noting that he didn't hit him and just got in his face a little. Rosanne Scotto stated her hope that they prosecute the guidotician for making terroristic threats.

I often get the impression that the her family background is a bit mobbed up.

The irony is that pols are just as big pansies as the reporters they threaten.

I agree!

I live in NJ and there's no end to liberals whining that Chris Christie is a bully because he points and gets in people's faces when they annoy him.

These are grown adults whinging about this.

If that little Lou Costello fatboy did that to me, I'd point right back at him and yell right back in his face and we'd see where it went from there.

What's he going to do about it? People are such cowering nancies.

Nope. Copy button does not appear. I can copy text that way. I can copy an existing photo that way. I cannot copy a video or a frame from a video that way. It will not select the image.

I even tried selecting surrounding text, beginning before the image and ending after the image. At that point, it looks like it has selected the text and the image. The Copy button appears, and I click it. I copy, then paste it in various locations. The only thing that pastes is the text. No image.

Weird. I tested it on my iPhone before I wrote the post. Is yours older? Mine is a 5.

Weird. I copied a screenshot from a video into a text message the way I described no problem.

Cheers.

Maybe we just have two different operating systems. I noticed some comments at the site where I found the instructions that worked for me, saying it didn’t work on their iPhone 5. I wonder if it would work on yours.

Thanks for your advice. Although it didn’t work on my phone, you did encourage me to find something that would.

Have a blessed night.
