CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A California Democratic Party delegate who allegedly impersonated a member of Congress and was threatened with arrest after a disturbance in the delegation’s hotel early Sunday morning was kicked out of the hotel and will not attend the national convention.

**SNIP**

The delegate who was sanctioned Sunday reportedly tried to intervene when hotel staff called paramedics, arguing that the unconscious man had merely had too much to drink and ought to be put to bed. When he tried to move the man’s motionless body, hotel staff called the police.

When officers arrived, the man allegedly claimed to be a member of Congress...

Funny...the individual is nameless, no home town, walks away and probably does not have to repay the sponsoring organization for his travel costs..... What a deal...

They probably figured out he was too smart to be a member of Congress.

It probably was a member of Congress and they are trying to cover it up.

At a RAT convention? Not as long as Holder and his people are in charge.

#1: The fact the perp was drunk & disorderly makes it more likely he might have been a member of the ‘RAT caucus in Congress.

#2: If this had happened last week at the RNC, we would have known the transgressor’s name, age, address, phone number, occupation, employer, wife's name & age, children's names & ages, annual income, amount paid in taxes for the past five years, criminal record, civil record, campaign donations, Twitter & Facebook accounts...

I know what you mean, but there’s nothing at all funny with what the Democrats are up to, or what they are doing to achieve it. I also know that you agree with this, so I’m not trying to be hyper critical.

The California Democratic Party declined to identify the delegate.

How convenient.

Was the man cursing like a dailycuss, media smatters, moron.org, and dummyunderground member?

Could have been California Democratic Party Chairman John Burton whose potty mouth scale has no upper limit. Spewing expletives is what the Deombrat leader is known for.. and threats of violence too; “try shooting Republicans” to get them to accept our offers to cooperate and compromise says the honored Demobrat leader . . . .
