Missouri Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, a Democrat, is shown walking past protesters on Saturday, where it seems the alleged spitting incident he says occurred. Questions remain, however, whether or not the spitting was a result of intense yelling and spitting happened by accident or if the spitter in question intentionally spit on the lawmaker.

I think there was a second spitter
spitting? no
more like ‘Say it, don’t spray it’.
NO, not, nada, never happened.
He was yelling Kill the Bill.
NOTHING more nothing less.
There's some higher resolution video below I hadn't seen before. Unlike what was claimed during recent Tea Party protests in Washington, DC, it would appear Cleaver was simply walking close by in front of a protester. The protester's hands were cupped as he was shouting. While it appears Cleaver may have experienced a spraying of sorts as a result of the yelling, it does not support a conclusion that he was intentionally spat upon, as claimed.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) issued a statement late Saturday saying that he was spit upon while walking to the Capitol to cast a vote, leading the Capitol Police to usher him into the building out of concern for his safety. Police detained the individual, who was then released because Cleaver declined to press charges.
You can see it clearly at 1:25 seconds in. If that is indeed the case, then Cleaver owes an apology to protesters for his false accusation. Cleaver goes on to engage the protester, wiping his face seconds later while going up the steps. But his claim of having been spat upon very much mischaracterizes events in my view.

LOL magic spit?
captured video of the scene shows Jesse Jackson Jr with TWO videocameras, up close and personal to this encounter and focused on the old dude yelling at Cleaver
let’s see Jesse’s home movies, shall we?
Isn’t it a co-inky dink that congress critter Jesse Jr had TWO video cameras to use on the crowd as this group walked through the middle of it?
Why, it is almost as if they/he was “expecting” something to happen, isn’t it?
IIRC, it wasn't necessary to do that.
The democrats and their willing media are going to use every dirty trick they can think of to marginalize us and make us out to be the bad guys. If we keep our cool, that is a losing proposition for them...
Spread the word to friends and family what the truth is. Don’t be shy, I spoke out in a coffee shop the other day and even the democrats there listened and were on our side!
Be strong, be smart, be quick...
Grassy Knoll?
“I think there was a second spitter”
On the grassy knoll?
On the grassy knoll?

It was a Patriot yelling and some spit came out...it happens. But the scumbag black guy used it as being spat upon.
