“Rep. Don Young has apologized for grabbing the arm of a congressional staffer at the Capitol.

His response came after a photo and video surfaced of the Alaska Republican forcefully holding the arm of a congressional aide on Thursday. Roll Call reported that the staffer tried to prevent the congressman from entering a GOP meeting through a side door. After holding his arm for several moments, Young let go and entered the meeting.

“While returning to the GOP conference meeting to discuss the ongoing situation on our southern border, I was caught off guard by an unidentified individual who was physically blocking me from reentering the room,” Young said in a statement. “Regardless, my reaction was wrong, and I should have never placed my hands on the young man.””* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show), and Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report) break it down.
