It is safe to say, Representative Alan Grayson (FL-D) did not have a good day on Wednesday and he let everyone know. According to POLITICO Grayson was in rare form. We are used to him saying some off the wall things but on Wednesday he called one reporter a “s**ing robot” he branded a lobbyist as a “K Street whore,” he said the tea party was like the Ku Klux Klan and said his opponent was a member of the Taliban even though he is a Christian.
A few weeks ago DSCC Chairman Jon Tester informed him the committee was more than likely going to endorse Rep. Patrick Murphy. It was reported Grayson swore at him but he wouldn’t comment on it. He simply attacked a reporter by saying:What’s the deal here? You publish whatever colorful lies people toss your way, for their own obvious political purposes?
Tester’s spokesman also refused to comment about the exchange but it was said Tester tried to urge Grayson to stay out of the race for US Senate to replace Marco Rubio because he felt he was unelectable in a statewide race.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Grayson supposedly said:
He then referenced Murphy to a piece of excrement.You’re making a mistake, When I’m senator, it’s going to be hard to work together.
On Wednesday Tampa Bay Times political editor Adam Smith called Grayson to ask him about having incorporated a couple of Cayman Islands hedge funds where investors could avoid taxes. On the other hand Grayson has built up his image as being anti Wall Street and criticizing conservatives for trying to avoid taxes.
Grayson told Smith:
When I set up my investment funds I set it up like everyone else.
He then said he set it up that way by the advise of his attorney and he attacked Smith by accusing him of trying to find:
“some stupid, bull***t story. . . You want to write sh** about it, and you can’t because not a single dollar of taxes has been avoided.”
Since there has yet to be any funds invested, Smith asked him if he was establishing the funds with hopes of getting foreign investors.
Grayson replied:
Are you f**cking kidding? I set up a fund that might solicit foreign investors. . . I have no present intention of soliciting foreign investors.
He further claimed the reporters perception issue was “bull***t.”
Grayson also began complaining about a story last week that reported his girlfriend Dena Minning was thinking about running for his seat if he decides to run for Senate. He said:This is even worse than Grayson’s girlfriend might run for Congress in 18 months from now. . . This is a whole ‘nother level of bull***t. Are you some kind of s***ing robot? You go around sh***ing on people?
None of this looks good for Grayson as he prepares to run for Senate.
Oh, this is not the first time Grayson snaps at a member of the media. During the 2014 election cycle, Grayson took issue with the Shark Tank’s very own Javier Manjarres at one of his town hall meetings in Orlando, Florida.
Here is what Grayson said to Manjarres:
“No, you’ve been very insulting to me, I don’t appreciate that. I read what you write, lies. You are a liar, go ahead and record that…”–Rep. Alan Grayson (Source)
