Incident at Allen Campaign Stop in Charlottesville

Reported by Henry Graff
October 31, 2006

Senator George Allen, (R) made a campaign stop in Charlottesville Tuesday morning and it was met with controversy.

As Senator Allen was exiting a ballroom, coming to talk to the media, a protestor started yelling and asking, "Why did you spit on your first wife?". He wasn't able to get near the senator as he was tackled by three men wearing Allen stickers, presumed to be staffers. He was pushed and manhandled and ended up on the floor, near windows at the Omni.

Senator Allen went back into a conference room and after the man was removed from the building, we were able to talk to Allen and asked him what he thought of the incident. He responded saying stuff like that happens.

Bob Gibson's account (Gordie - 11/1/2006 8:17:57 AM)
U.S. Sen. George Allen, R-Fairfax County, spoke at a Charlottesville rally of his supporters Tuesday and then watched as it ended with a law student being wrestled to the floor by Allen supporters.
Allen was walking with Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., toward an Omni Charlottesville Hotel lobby after their upbeat campaign speeches when University of Virginia law student Mike Stark approached him and loudly asked if he had ever spat at his first wife.

In case some of you do not know what Spatting on your wife means "Allen is know for spitting tobacco juice on Woman's shoes"
