For this, the cops detained me, not him,\u201d Burdett said in a tweet Wednesday after the encounter.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Hill, Burdett was visiting Capitol Hill with the Maryland Progressive Healthcare Coalition to support the reintroduction of the moribund Medicare for All Act.<\/p>\n<p>Kristy Fogle, founder of the coalition, told the outlet that Burdett said he wanted to ask Boebert a \u201ctough question\u201d after they happened upon the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-aims-to-reopen-over-half-of-schools-just-at-least-one-day-a-week-by-100-day-goal\/\" title=\"Biden Aims to Reopen Over Half of Schools Just \u2018At Least One Day a Week\u2019 By 100-Day Goal\">news briefing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Video posted by the protester himself shows him first approaching Arizona Republican Rep. Paul Gosar, whom he asked about appearing at a conference hosted by far-right fringe figure Nick Fuentes and about an ad released during the 2020 election cycle in which members of Gosar\u2019s family came out against him.<\/p>\n<p>During the video, Higgins approached Burdett and said, \u201cI\u2019m a congressman. I\u2019ll make you a deal. Listen, let this man talk, and then I\u2019ll come talk to you privately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I\u2019m asking you to do is just peacefully stand by with your camera, and I promise you \u2014 look at me \u2014 I\u2019ll come talk to you straight up and answer all your questions.\u201d Suffice it to say, that\u2019s not what happened.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado got up next; Burdett, seemingly undeterred, again stepped forward and asked Boebert about her recent filing for divorce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid it have anything to do with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/avoiding-thanksgiving-food-poisoning\/\" title=\"Avoiding Thanksgiving Food Poisoning\">giving food poisoning<\/a> to Shooters Bar and Grill?\u201d he said, referencing a 2020 incident in which pork sliders from Boebert\u2019s restaurant were involved in a food-poisoning incident at a local rodeo, according to Salon.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, Higgins, a former sheriff, stepped in and sidelined what was clearly an unbalanced troll act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re out, you\u2019re out,\u201d he can be heard saying in the video.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, no one appears to have been hurt in the incident.<\/p>\n<p>On Twitter, Boebert thanked Higgins for defending her \u201cas a radical socialist attempted to disrupt me during a press conference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also on Twitter, Higgins said that Burdett was \u201ca 103M\u201d \u2014 police code for \u201cdisturbance by a mental person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne agitator activist protester became very disruptive and threatening in violation of the law,\u201d the text in the accompanying video said. \u201cCongressman Higgins successfully de-escalated the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Higgons said he turned Burdett over to the Capitol Police, and Fogle said they interviewed the activist. Meanwhile, Burdett claimed to have been detained by \u201cDC police\u201d \u2014 which would generally refer to a different body, the District of Columbia\u2019s Metropolitan Police Department. It\u2019s unknown which of these is true.<\/p>\n<h3>Should the leftist be charged for this stunt?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes<\/li>\n<li>No<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Completing this poll entitles you to The Western Journal news updates free of charge.
