Florida Democrat Grayson Crashes Republican Meeting at Restaurant
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., can be seen in a viral video making the rounds on the Internet crashing a meeting held by Orange County Republicans and confronting a county mayoral candidate, MyFoxOrlando.com reports.
The incident happened Thursday night at a Florida Perkins restaurant.
Grayson accused the group of spying on Democrats, saying, "I want you to know this is how low you've all sunk to."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Florida Democrat read from a flyer that he said described how some Republicans admitted infiltrating pro-Obama groups to get information about political strategy.
"Local activists were shocked to see a sitting member of Congress have such a child-like tantrum, and we're blown away by Grayson's blatant disregard for his constituents," Tea Party Patriots activist Tom Tillison told MyFoxOrlando.com.
Grayson says he believes his actions were justifiable.
