3. The person who played McCain in this video was literally mugged by a GOP congressional candidate

Here is his account of what happened...

Mugged at the RNC by a Republican Candidate for Congress, Ed Matthews
By Jeff Grubler

Ed Matthews, the Republican candidate for Minnesota's 4th Congressional district, mugged me for my McCain mask while I was performing street theater at the Republican National Convention. At about 5:30pm on Thursday, September 5th, my friend and I were at Rice Park in St. Paul performing skits and songs entitled "Insane in the McCain-Brain" and "Bomb Iran" while wearing Bush and McCain masks. Ed Matthews, along with a tall man with a potbelly (also a delegate), came at me from behind and started pushing and grabbing for my mask. Matthews was yelling, "That's my sign," and I yelled back, "This is my mask," and "Don't touch me." Ed Matthews was finally able to wrench the mask out of my hands and I responded by pulling his RNC credentials off his neck. Ed Matthews then screamed, "Give me my credentials," and I yelled, "Give me my mask." At that point the big guy with the potbelly and another man (who did not identify himself as Capital Police) grabbed me and began yelling, "He stole a delegate's credentials." I struggled with the two men until I was thrown to the ground by a uniformed officer who cuffed me while keeping his knee on the back of my neck. A crowd made up mostly of Republican delegates began yelling at the police (on my behalf), "He did nothing wrong," and "It was the other guy who started it." Yet I was taken into custody and Ed Matthews was whisked into the Xcel Center with my mask.

Over 800 people were arrested at the RNC protests, but the Republican Congressional Candidate who mugged someone was not one of them.
