Michael Grimm, New York, Republican congressman has apologized for threatening a cable news reporter Tuesday night. The former Marine was asked by the young reporter to comment on a recent alleged scandal possibly involving the politician. Grimm told the news reporter that he did not want to talk about the scandal and suggested that if the microphone carrying fella ever approached him again with the question, "I will break you into like a little boy and throw you off this balcony!"
I believe it is understood by the masses that when one chooses to run for public office, one will be scrutinized and elected officials are certainly fair game. This Michael Grimm may be many things; some good and some bad however, make no mistake, he IS a blustering person who is oppressive to others weaker than himself...that makes this ex-Marine and current congressman a BULLY.
In 2010, Marine Commandant, General James F. Amos made the following proclamation: "A Marine is a Marine. I set that policy two weeks ago - there is no such thing as a former Marine. You're a Marine, just in a different uniform and you're in a different phase of your life. But you'll always be a Marine because you went to Parris Island, San Diego or the hills of Quantico. There is no such thing as a former Marine." It appears official: 'Once a Marine; Always a Marine.' Therefore, Congressman, Michael Grimm needs to apologize to the United States Marines.
