WATCH: ‘Squad’ congresswoman’s ex-con husband slaps phone from reporter’s hand
After years of members of the Democrat Party advocating violence against their political foes and critics, it is the husband of a Democrat member of Congress who allegedly has moved to the next level.
It is Conan Harris, the husband of ultra-leftist “Squad” member Rep. Ayanna Pressley, a Massachusetts Democrat, who “slapped a phone out of a reporter’s hands.”
It happened in a Chelsea, Mass., City Hall where a reporter was asking, “Congresswoman Pressley, do you support…”
Harris then knocked the phone away, and the video soon appeared on Fox News.

Reports confirmed that Harris “has a serious criminal past,” with a 10-year prison sentence on a drug trafficking charge before the pair got married.
The reporter was planning to ask about Pressley’s perspective on investigations into alleged childcare fraud in Minnesota, which reportedly already has cost taxpayers billions of dollars.
“Sir, you cannot take my phone out of my hand,” the questioner could be heard saying, before the phone was picked back up and returned to focus.

Fox reported the cameraman tried to focus the picture on Harris after his phone was slapped, but Harris walked into what appeared to be either a bathroom, or some type of room off the building hallway.
Then the interviewer tried a second time to ask Pressley, and she walked away, guarded by her entourage of staff members.
Fox reported the question concerned $10 billion in childcare program funds that the administration of President Donald Trump froze from distribution to five Democrat states because of social services fraud reports involving the immigrant Somali community in Minnesota.
