WASHINGTON — Rep. Bob Etheridge, D-N.C., issued an apology Monday for grabbing a young man by the hand, arm and neck after he was asked whether he supported President Barack Obama’s agenda. The apology came after images of the incident spread on the Internet.
A young man, dressed in a jacket and tie, approached the congressman on a sidewalk, saying: “Hi, congressman. How are you? Do you fully support the Obama agenda?”
Etheridge can be seen on the video repeatedly asking the young man to identify himself. After a few seconds, the congressman grabs the camera and the young man. The young man is not identified in the video, made last week. The Associated Press
