He didn't assault them. (unless DC has a different statutory definition)
In fact, it could be argued that they assaulted him.
(Actually the legal / technical descripton would be assault and battery. Assault would be the threat of reaching out for the kid. Battery would be when he grabbed his wrist and later his neck)
Partisianship aside. The Congressman just did something very stupid and unacceptable. (and he knew he was staring into a camera while he was doing it. How ****ing ignorant is that...??!!!)
And then his staff rushed out a boilerplate apology. The arrogance of some of our elected officials is saddening.
