Republican Congressman sued for slamming constituent's leg and knee in office door: lawsuit
Source: Raw Story

I was trying to speak to the Congressman about how cannabis saved my life, said advocate Rachel Ramon Donlan said. But instead of pausing to listen, he slammed the door on my leg and knee.

Since this involves a legal claim, I can have no comment at this time except that the fact that the court imposed a stay away order as a result of her actions that day speaks for itself. The timing of this claim certainly suggests this is a blatantly political ploy, Harris said in a statement.
More Ginaforte bullshittery at play here. Blame the constituents whom you do not represent at all.
