Mark DeYoung, who chairs the Clare County Republican Party, said he heard Chapman’s attempt to enter the room and opened the door after seeing someone flip him the bird through a window. “He kicked me in my balls as soon as I opened the door,” DeYoung said of Chapman, speaking to The Detroit News by phone from the emergency room.

Both parties are not the same.

“I just wish we could come together”

Forget togetherness, he’ll be lucky come at all.

@Col3814444 That poor GOP official's name was Hormel Chavez, and that was after he'd been through all this that day already:

Chapman also said that during the confrontation, he removed his glasses. “When you see me taking my glasses off, I’m ready to rock,” Chapman said.

So he admits that it was premeditated. Good luck with your assault charge there, bud.

Ok, I thought it was funny when I thought it was just a dude getting kicked in the nuts (that’s just always funny), but then I saw he broke the dude’s rib?

Republicans out here wilding.

Fake news the best people tell need Republicans don't have balls, if they did they might stand up to the blatant corruption and descent into fascism that is obviously happening in the gop. I guess we can sum this up by saying if you don't believe physical violence in a chamber of politics is appropriate don't vote Republican. However Brandon is trying to figure student loans so I don't know who to vote for since both parties are the same.
