Below is the transcript of the exchange between Conressman Michael Grimm and news reporter Michael Scotto. Grimm's violent words are unacceptable, especially for a public figure. This kind of bullying should not be tolerated. Grimm should no longer be able to hold his position in office.
Scotto: “Congressman Michael Grimm does not want to talk about some of the allegations concerning his campaign finances ... but as you saw he refused to talk about that,”
Grimm: "Let me be clear to you, you ever do that to me again I'll throw you off this f-----g balcony,”
Scotto: “Why, why, I just wanted to ask you?”
Grimm: “If you ever do that to me again,”
Scotto: “why, why it’s a valid question,”
Grimm: No, no, you're not man enough, you're not man enough. I'll break you in half. Like a boy,”
