Alan Grayson Gets Into Scuffle with Politico Reporter Asking Questions About Domestic Abuse (PJ Media)
Former congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) threatened to have a Politico reporter arrested Tuesday, falsely claiming that the reporter assaulted him. A video of the scuffle, which took place in Philadelphia at an event hosted by Politico, tells a very different story, however.
The fracas began when reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere approached Grayson -- currently a candidate for the U.S. Congress -- to ask him about allegations of domestic abuse, a story Politico has reported on extensively.
Grayson's ex-wife has alleged that he battered her over the course of two decades -- allegations he strongly denies.
According to Politico, Grayson only provided a comment through his lawyer for its most recent article, which includes "police and court documents dating back to 1994."
