House Republican Reports Being Assaulted Outside the Capitol
The Hill ^ | Thursday, October 3, 2013 | Emily Goodin

Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) reported being the victim of a minor assault outside the Capitol Wednesday night.

The congressman told U.S. Capitol Police he was walking from the Longworth House Office Building for votes when "a random individual, unknown to the congressman, began screaming at him and grabbed his arm," according to Duffy's spokeswoman.

A spokesman for Capitol Police said they are investigating. Duffy was unharmed in the incident, according to his office.

"He reported the incident in compliance with House security procedures," Duffy's spokeswoman said. "Congressman Duffy has requested no further action be taken and there will be no further comment on the matter at this time."

Could be nothing. Or it could be the first, not the last.

My money is on the community organizers are seeing what they can get away with.

They are desperate. I can make a guess as to who this was.

Congressman Duffy has requested no further action be taken

Let this happen to a Democrat and all hell will break loose.
Police, SS escort, black helicopters... oh, and the person who did it would never see daylight again.

$15.00 to protest. Wonder what the going rate is for assaults?

I was thinking ‘Pink’, silly me... but I know we are supposed to be color-blind these days and embrace everyone , even those who despise us, a risky scheme if you ask me, any day.

For that reason it will not be the last. Is the $ 15.00 /hr?

Thank you Republicans for not backing down and shutting down the government!

Awesome strategy by the Republican House. I’m so happy the stupid government is shut down. maybe now Americans will realize that government is not needed as nothing is happening even though the gov is shut down. what do we need government scientists doing global warming studies? hell no! do weed IRS oppressing conservatives? NO. do we need IRS auditing Republicans NO. NSA spying on us? . The IRS can’t audit us as long as gov stays shut down. Hold the line Republicans! If walmart shut down then we’d cry but the useless gov can go to hell.

The only thing that the federal government should be doing is the military and border control.

Wrong party being assaulted. I fully expect the Dems to start getting waylaid when people realize how incredible the damage is that these creeps have done to us.

And maybe protecting congressmen when they are assaulted...

or not.

I wonder if there is a security camera video? It could show a drooling old hag with a frozen face and a very large gavel attacking him.
