A staffer for the reelection campaign of Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) was arrested Wednesday evening and charged with aggravated battery at a fundraiser for Davis’s Democratic opponent, Betsy Dirksen Londrigan.

A reporter for local TV station WCIA circulated video Thursday morning of Levi Lovell, Davis’s field director, appearing to harass Londrigan, her husband and others at the Springfield, Ill., bar where the fundraiser was being held.

On the video Lovell is shown holding a smartphone in the faces of several attendees, peppering them with questions and then accusing them of being “racist.” He appears to accuse a man trying to get him to leave of committing a “hate crime” before becoming physical with the man outside the venue.
