The guy represents Republicans just fine, he went off on that cop like the comment section of a YouTube video, or /worldnews. Watch him win reelection with higher margins next time.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

While claiming he 'backs the blue.'
rules for thee and not for me
Former Ted Cruz staffer. Enough said.
"I had too many drinks at a Christmas party"
was also cited for having an open container in his truck.
I guess it was too many drinks while I literally driving. Just fucking typical for republicans 🙄
Rios, sitting in the backseat of the police cruiser, turned his tirade against Officer Alexander Welch, an English-born American citizen, as the lawmaker pointed out the officer’s accent and bizarrely claimed that he doesn’t think “people from England should be arresting Americans.”
“Your country is being overtaken by f–king migrants and refugees, right?” Rios asked, citing the refugee crisis in England.
“You’re arresting me for driving home. But people come into your country and rape your women. And I’m the f–king bad guy? I’m going to fight for the people of England more than you ever would, you little bitch.”
This is some straight up ultra-right nationalist racist stuff. Dude would certainly join-in with vigor in a nazi regime.
He pulled a Mel Gibson. You should never pull a Mel Gibson.
People still pay Mel Gibson to be in movies. Gross.
“his behavior does not represent the values of the NDGOP.”
Prove it.
Yeah lol, just words, not even kicking him out
Nothing sends me into a drunken racist rage like hearing an English accent. Amirite
That English-born cop is, for likely the 60th time that month, asking himself why in the fuck he lives in North Dakota.
