GOP thug shoves reporter down steps

This incident shows what a bunch of sorryasses the Republicans have become.

Mike Flannery, a political editor for WBBM-TV in Chicago, has made a complaint with police after an aide to right-wing congressman Jerry Weller deliberately shoved him down a set of stairs. The event took place at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Joliet, Illinois, where the lawmaker announced his intent to not seek reelection. When Flannery asked Weller about his shady land deal in Nicaragua, an aide named John Dusik knocked Flannery down the steps, causing him to collide with a woman, who also ended up falling.

And yes, there's video of the entire altercation. So don't deny it, Rethugs.

Flannery said this is the first time in his 33-year career that he's ever had to file a police report. Dusik was later arrested over this attack. At the same event, Dusik also shoved a reporter for a local cable channel. So that's 2 assaults at one Weller event. Flannery said Dusik "went from being a zealous staffer to being a goon."

Weller's land deals have resulted in a watchdog group proclaiming him one of the most corrupt members of Congress.

Here's hoping John Dusik gets prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! This sort of thuggery by the GOPstapo has gone on long enough.
