I agree. My guess is that Fulcher is trying to get his story into the discussion before the video is released.

What does “female” have to do with anything?

Rep Fulcher is an asshole. 6 days after the storming of the Capitol he manhandles a female Capital Police Officer that was there trying to protect him and the building…6 days ago. "Hey Fulcher how many Dem reps have abused Capitol PO in those 6 days following your President’s call to ‘Stop the Steal’?

Couldn’t have been fun in Junior High with a last name like Fulcher. Probably explains why he dropped out of school then.

When blue lives turn into black and blue lives. For shame. Even Gohmert didn’t go as far as assaulting a police officer. And for the record, I believe the eyewitness.

Bundy was moving from Nevada to Idaho while he detoured to Malheur… to visit a Soverign Sheriff in EASTERN Oregon.
We don’t read the original constitution carefully but there is irony in its birthday in February is also the month of Black History.
Fulcher is likely one of the Idaho hosts for the OR republicans who ran out of state to avoid certain votes…
Oregon is blue, but barely, and Q candidates came all too close to being elected recently…

Overly self-entitled white man. Somebody (probably Pelosi) needs to get all these yahoos in a room and do some serious retraining that their mamas neglected to do.

Republican male malehandling a female makes him in line to be President.
Please stop using MAN when you are talking or writing about Republicans. :fu:

Fulcher said his office isn’t aware of an investigation. “Should there be further inquiries, we look forward to formally setting the record straight on these fabricated media accusations. However, please keep in mind in this majority driven hostile political environment, neither truth nor fairness is the objective.”

Pretty aggressive comeback for something that didn’t happen.

Hopefully someone was taking video at the time.

The bigger question, for me, is what took them so long to investigate? SOMEONE should have either reported it and/or caught it in review of the tapes. And I’m having difficulty believing that officer was alone working the entrance.

It really does appear that this is exactly where the Republican party has devolved to.

I find it hard to believe there aren’t cameras recording almost every view in Congress outside of individual member’s offices. Halls, entries, stairwells, all of it, 24/7/365.

The officer should have tazed the brute. When someone is acting like a mad cow (or bull in this case?) the only way to deal with them is to “retrain them” using methods that teach them that there are some really unpleasant consequences for that kind of behavior.

I know Russ. I went to high school with him. I worked with him at a pie shop. He was a POS then and he’s only gotten worse since.

Blue lives don’t matter. Especially when they’re girls.
