Georgia Sen. David Perdue has stirred up a host of new questions after he appeared to dodge a college student's inquiry by ripping the student's cellphone out of his hand in the midst of a video recording.
The GOP senator was at Georgia Tech on Saturday to campaign for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp when he was approached by a member of the school's Young Democratic Socialists of America chapter and asked about tens of thousands of voter registrations that Kemp, as the current secretary of state, is refusing to process.
The student in the video can be heard starting to ask Perdue a question, but he's cut off before finishing.
"How can you endorse a candidate ..." he says, before Perdue takes the phone from his hand ending his question.
"You stole my property, you stole my property," he says.

Thx in advance

(52,181 posts)Given that he apparently did get the phone back without violence, I'd say no, force would not have been legslly justified.
