Alaska Rep. Don Young sorry for grabbing aide

Source: USA Today

Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, has apologized for grabbing the arm of a young House aide after the incident was
captured on camera.

“While returning to the GOP conference meeting to discuss the ongoing situation on our southern border,
I was caught off guard by an unidentified individual who was physically blocking me from re-entering the
room,” Young said in a statement to NBC News and CQ Roll Call. “Regardless, my reaction was wrong
and I should have never placed my hands on the young man.”

I might be wrong but I bet if this wasn't caught by a camera Rep. Young wouldn't have said
anything about his actions.

The only reason this schmuck apologized is because he got caught.

And just from his looks and his actions I don't think this is the first time
Rep. Young has done something like this. The young man was just doing
his job and Young is full of himself that he can't stand being told no about
anything.
