Republicans love physically threatening the opposition

Dear Lord, Louis Hillenmeyer has a call-in Gardening show on local radio here, Republicans have gone absolutely NUTS when the local plant guy achieves ape-shit status! They go for physical confrontation at the sight of Democrats! Even rich dudes in button downs!

A donor to U.S. Rep. Andy Barr physically confronted a staffer for the Kentucky Democratic Party outside a Lexington event Wednesday evening for the Republican congressman.

.....

The video, described by the party Thursday in a news release and posted on YouTube, starts focused on the ground while a man’s voice is heard asking if he should shoot the staffer or set his dogs on him. Then it shows Hillenmeyer approach the staffer and tell him to leave. When the staffer stays put, Hillenmeyer grabs the camera.

My son and his wife and family, a niece and a nephew all live in Lexington. They stayed after they graduated from UK.

Also, a sidewalk is public property, so anybody can be there.
