Video shows Kentucky Republican 'snatching' mic out of fellow GOP lawmaker's hand at event

A Republican congressman can be seen on video having a microphone yanked out of his hands by a fellow GOP colleague.

Thomas Massie, who also on Saturday accused the Trump admin of hurting Epstein victims with the botched and unlawful files release, went to social media to tell his side of the story. He linked to an article which described how David Osborne, Speaker of the Kentucky House of Representatives, took the mic aggressively from Massie while the rebel Republican was speaking.

According to the article, Osborne has claimed that it was a matter of timing, and not of beliefs. But Massie claimed that, if Osborne had liked what he was saying at the time, that he wouldn't have "snatched" the mic.

A congressional reporter posted the video of the contested event.
