Grimm caught threatening reporter
Rep. Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.) threatened a reporter during an on-camera interview following Tuesday’s State of the Union address.

Grimm has faced a series of questions about his campaign finances in recent years. The outburst could hurt his reelection chances in a Staten Island-based swing district.
