    Is that an “R” next to the assaulting representative’s name?

    A regional Rotary conference in Asheville on Saturday night appears to have ended with a confrontation between Western North Carolina’s U.S. Rep. Chuck Edwards ® and an unknown man, with witnesses attesting that the congressman struck the attendee.

    “He got into an argument at one of the tables with another Rotarian and Chuck got upset and hit the guy with a binder and said ‘love you man’ as he walked out,” said a Rotarian, who requested anonymity so as not to jeopardize his relationship with the organization.

    “The guy he hit called the police and claimed he was assaulted,” the emailer continued.

    The tendency of fascists to resort to violence is incredible. I’ll be looking for further developments resulting from this physical attack.
