Southwest Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins is seen on video physically moving an activist away from a news conference on Capitol Hill. The activist asked Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert about her divorce from her husband and that’s when Higgins ushered him away.
The activist, identified as a Jake Burdett, says Higgins assaulted him as he physically removed him from the press conference. Higgins, a former sheriff’s deputy, says the activist was mentally disturbed and threatening and he was escorted out and turned over to Capitol Police.
Burdett complained on his Twitter account that he was detained by the cops, while Higgins was not.
Video shows Burdett asking Congresswoman Boebert if her divorce was the result of customers complaining about food poisoning at her now closed restaurant Shooters Grill. Boebert says the restaurant closed because the landlord decided not to renew their lease and the decision was not political.
