“This is my show, don’t ever fucking do that again,” state Sen. Joe Morrissey can be seen saying as he began a nearly three-minute screaming tirade towards an individual who was pressing him to answer if he supports overturning Roe v. Wade during his radio show.
In case you missed it this morning, VPM’s Whittney Evans broke the news about the altercation happening during Morrissey’s show.
The producer asked Morrissey during the live radio show whether he is for or against the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
“Any state bill that’s passed, you have to have exceptions. I’m also very much of a libertarian, and I do not like government telling us what to do,” Morrissey said. “I’m much more in favor of a strong state government, as I think are most people.”
The producer then pressed Morrissey more on the issue which lead to a meltdown. There is no audio with the Facebook live but it is easy to read Morrissey’s lips and his body language is very animated as well. At one point a woman has to pull his arm to keep him from going around the desk. Watch it below:
