Grimm 'photo bombed' GOP Capitol Hill event, House aides contend



STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Rep. Michael Grimm "sort of photo-bombed" a GOP Capitol Hill press event on the VA hospital imbroglio Thursday, standing front and center with fellow Republican House members who have been steering clear of the embattled congressman.

While Grimm's office said he "was welcomed to attend," the Daily News, citing House sources, said he was "not invited" and characterized his decision to position himself directly behind House Majority Leader Eric Cantor at the podium as akin to photo bombing.

"We couldn't stop him," said the House aide, who sought anonymity.

What's funny about it is that he photobombed a small crowd of other self-proclaimed "entitled" assholes.
