A Wisconsin Democrat offered up an apology Monday for comments he made on the Assembly floor last week immediately following a vote on Gov. Scott Walker’s contentious budget repair bill. Rep. Gordon Hintz apologized to Republican Rep. Michelle Litjens for shouting a threatening obscenity that a number of witnesses heard amid the loud uproar after the chamber’s GOP majority successfully passed the bill.
According to local WTMJ news radio, a number of witnesses heard Hintz shout (http://www.620wtmj.com/shows/charliesykes) “You’re f***ing dead!” at Litjens.
