| Description | RALEIGH, N.C. — The political consultant who helped direct Republican Renee Ellmers' bid for Congress says national Republican officials misled the public about an online video involving Democratic Congressman Bob Etheridge.
Carter Wrenn said the National Republican Congressional Committee was behind the video showing Etheridge confronting a man on a Washington, D.C., sidewalk. He grabbed the man's arm and then his neck while the man refused Etheridge's repeated demands to identify himself as he and another man videotaped Etheridge and asked if he supported "the Obama agenda."
Etheridge immediately apologized for the incident, but the popularity of the video online raised Ellmers' profile. |
