Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) was captured on video taking a phone from a man who was questioning her about whether President Joe Biden should resign as she walked through Detroit Metro Airport.

Kaptur dismissed the question, causing the man to ask it again. Despite his persistence, she refused to acknowledge him.
Finally, he inquired, “Why has the White House been lying about Joe Biden’s declining cognitive abilities?”
At this point, the 21-term representative seemed to become agitated.
Kaptur, 78, glared into the man’s camera and then abruptly grabbed his phone before the video abruptly ended.
“Congresswoman, why did you take my phone like that?” the man asked once he began recording again.
A female bystander chimed in off-camera, saying, “Cause she’s rude and disrespectful and don’t care about the people, obviously.”
“That’s why she’s mad,” the woman added.
Finally, Kaptur spoke back to the man with her own series of questions.
“What is your name?” the congresswoman demanded. “Where do you live?”
She asked him several times where he lived as she circled him.
“I don’t have to tell you that information,” the man replied, prompting Kaptur to say, “Then I’m not answering you.”
She began to walk away again as the man asked one more time, “I just want to know, congresswoman, should Joe Biden step down?”
“No,” she responded.
The bickering went on, with Kaptur asking the questioner why he was “reading questions off that sheet” and asking, “Who owns you?”
“Nobody owns me,” the man replied. “I’m just curious on some questions.”
“They own you,” Kaptur stated before exiting the airport.
A spokesperson for Kaptur’s campaign told Fox News, “It’s one thing to ask a question, but an unknown man refusing to identify himself, forcing a camera in the congresswoman’s personal space, is another thing entirely.”
“The man has still not identified himself or the organization for which he works,” the spokesperson continued. “All these politics aside, Congresswoman Kaptur remains fully focused on delivering further transformational federal investment to Northwest Ohio.”
Another Kaptur employee became embroiled in controversy after boasting about receiving a “call” informing him that his student debt had been canceled.
Ben Kamens, Kaptur’s communications director, posted on X in June that he was “happy to let the government cancel it instead of paying it off.”
“As a government worker, this guy got paid more than $80,000 last year by taxpayers according to Legistorm, and now he’s bragging about forcing those same taxpayers to pony up another $8k for loans he refused to pay himself,” Sean Davis, co-founder of the Federalist wrote:

After facing a significant amount of criticism, Kamens made his account private.
“Imagine the plumber, HVAC worker, mechanic, Walmart worker, janitor, personal support worker who didn’t go to college or rack up debt. Who just decided to work hard,” political commentator Ari Goldkind said:

Imagine them now knowing that they’re paying for this fool’s education. A choice the fool knew would rack up debt https://t.co/XfHcbZ5WDr

thats assault and she should be charged and arrested.
why are these dems always so pissed off? i guess the walls are closing in on them….lots of treason there.
The reason they get pissed off is that you have called them on their game, their graft, their pork projects, their kickbacks, and their screwing of the tax paying public. When you make over half a million dollars in salary and benefits each year its hard to lower themselves down to answer simple questions about accountability. Instead they brush you off and file for another junket. Maybe we need to start auditing them, their actions, their salary, their assets and see what is going on. This goes across the board to both Republican and Democratic politicians plus anyone above the grade of say GS-12 or SES personnal.
Typical clueless Democrat. Now they want braindead Biden to step down?? They were more than happy to pass this Commie puppet off on us for another 4 years to do their Communist bidding before President Trump handed senile Biden his ass in their debate. Democrat scum! FJB
What kind of wiener allows this woman to take his phone. Since she initiated this action he was within his rights to simply take it back.
That is one of the main things about communism the fact that the workers pay for the dead beats education, livelihood ..government peoples wages …the workers are abused by government..same thing they are trying to do in the United States
