A protester, who called himself “Mike,” approached Knight, shook his hand and said, “You told me you didn’t vote amnesty and you did. I looked it up on the Internet. You lied to me.” He then patted Knight on the arm.

As the protester walked away, Knight approached him and said, “If you touch me again, I’ll drop your ass.”

The protestor used a strong arm grip and the pat on the arm was more like a hammer.

That whole show was a setup by that one protestor.

I guess I may be in the minority here but I think he had every right. The protester had no right touching him in any way.

The protester was being a punk. It was not a friendly handshake and tap on the shoulder.

It doesn’t matter what he voted. He was willing to explain himself. The protester had no right to touch him. Do we live in such a wussy society that a man can’t tell another man to back off. He’s lucky he got a warning.

I have a marginal computer that will not play videos.

So I went and checked the record. Like many of the GOP Congress, he did vote for amnesty but lie about it.

Once again - No, he didn't.

The bill bounced back and forth between the senate and house, making revisions - keeping the same bill number - but the final bill had cut out amnesty. He then voted the bill - WITHOUT THE AMNESTY,...

Sooo -until you get a computer that CAN view the whole picture - perhaps you should also keep your protestations "marginal"?

I don't expect that you will change your stuck-on-marginal-opinion to change, Some minds don't care where the full facts lie - they're cling to the parts that suit their purpose.

You have a nice evening now.

Read it and weep, he voted to fund Obama’s illegal amnesty, if you fund it, you have approved it.

“Mike” was aggressive with Knight and got some push back.

Don’t be a pussy, Mike.

That guy Knight sure is tough. No constituent will ever treat him like that again. I’ll bet he’s the same way dealing with those smarmy, glad-handing Democrats in Congress.

So Newbie - you continue to ignore the truth in the video - which you admit you ‘can’t see’ or listen too - and ignore the written information - (Freepers, follow the links on his/her posts here - that continue to spew misinformation to falsely slam this man. )

In the ‘old days’ on FR - you would have been ZOTTED long ago - and/or the ‘Viking Kitties” would have spewed you outta here.

Miss the good old days when FR had it’s “Troll Patrol”

The guy is out engaging in an aggressive group trying to answer questions; not dodging them.
The other guy condescendingly comes up and does the physical contact pat on the back thing. I would have likely reacted the same way the Congressman did.
Its a very aggressive move to make contact like the person did.
Not to say it was right; but he was intentionally provoked.

Thanks, maine-iac7. I look forward to new video with Congressman Knight issuing correctives to the Dems and RINOs on the House floor who also give him those aggressive, in-your-face handshakes.

Rationalize any way you want, accept any excuse you want, Steve Knight voted to fund Obama’s illegal amnesty, therefore he approved Obama’s illegal amnesty. I provided all the names of the traitors who voted with Obama to fund his illegal amnesty, my Congressman is not on that list.
Is yours?

CALLING VIKING KITTIES :)

Once again, Lurkinanloomin, - alowly....

The final bill, after bouncing back and forth between houses - altho' under the same bill no. - no longer contained amnesty -

you say your computer can't show videos so you couldn't listen to it - - maybe you should borrow someones 'puter and watch it.

Then again, from your posts, you really aren't interested in the truth, are you. NEWBIE

You just joined FB to be a major TROLL for the elections?

He's a retired LA cop. He dealt with those punks all the time.

My question is: Did he vote for amnesty?

If the answer is yes, then he is NOT a “rock solid conservative”.

If the answer is no, then what was the protester talking anout?

There are endless procedural motions and strategies to deal with legislation. In the case of amnesty some people wanted to attach certain language to a funding bill, others wanted to pursue a different strategy. People who don't understand the nuances of the legislative process label you as "for the other side" when you don't embrace the strategy they want to pursue -- someone sent out an email or published on a website that he didn't vote "the right way" so these guys flew off the handle. It doesn't make him pro-amnesty.
