GOP Rep Threatens Ex-Campaign Staffer In Wild Video

Syracuse’s ABC affiliate reports:

Syracuse-area Congressman Brandon Williams is defending himself after an altercation with a former campaign manager at a holiday party was caught on camera. The video, obtained by NewsChannel 9, shows Congressman Williams verbally berating Michael Gordon, who managed Williams’ 2022 campaign for Congress.

With his finger pointed in Gordon’s face, Williams can be heard shouting: “You f**k with my family, I will end every relationship you have. Every single friend. Do you understand me?” Williams then appears to knock down the phone used to record the incident.

Williams’s office said in a statement, “As a former nuclear submarine officer known for his temperament and poise, tonight should be a lesson to all, never go after this Navy Nuke’s family.”
